Role Overview
The HR Coordinator plays a key role in advancing Human Resources initiatives across the Investment Management business while serving as a foundational partner to HR Business Partners based in New York, California, and Atlanta. This role is designed for someone early in their HR career who is eager to learn, grow, and contribute beyond day-to-day support—bringing curiosity, problem-solving, and a continuous-improvement mindset to how HR work gets done. This role also requires an ability to “think like an owner,” taking responsibility for one’s work, exercising sound judgment, and understanding how day‑to‑day actions connect to broader business outcomes.
While the position includes core operational responsibilities that ensure the smooth running of HR programs, the primary focus is on supporting and enhancing strategic HR initiatives, partnering on projects, and helping modernize HR processes through thoughtful use of technology, automation, and AI-enabled tools. This role serves as a strong entry point and development platform for broader roles within Human Resources.
