Job Description

Human Resources Associate

London (hybrid) | Global Boutique Investment Firm | High-Growth Environment


Frazer Jones is partnering with a global boutique investment firm undergoing a significant period of transformation.


This is not a steady-state HR role.


This is an opportunity to step into a business that’s evolving quickly and needs someone who can bring structure, precision, and momentum to its HR function.


The Opportunity:

We’re looking for an HR Associate who thrives in the engine room of a business - someone who can own operations, drive improvements, and get stuck into meaningful project work with real autonomy.

You’ll support a high-performing, internationally distributed workforce across the UK, EMEA, and APAC - gaining exposure well beyond a typical “HR admin” role.

Expect variety. Expect pace. Expect visibility.


What You’ll Be Doing:

This role sits at the heart of the HR function, combining core operational excellence with continuous improvement :


  • Own end-to-end HR operations across the employee lifecycle
  • Support recruitment processes , from coordination through to offer and onboarding
  • Deliver seamless onboarding and offboarding experiences
  • Maintain accurate, audit-ready HR data across systems and records
  • Partner closely with Payroll, Finance, and internal stakeholders
  • Support regulatory and compliance processes in a highly governed environment
  • Contribute to HR reporting, dashboards, and data insights
  • Get involved in projects that drive efficiency, scale, and employee experience

This is more than process, it’s about making HR work better .


The Environment:

  • A global, investment-led business operating at speed
  • A firm going through meaningful change and integration
  • A culture that values ownership, rigour, and delivery
  • Lean enough that your work is visible, and matters!

You won’t be hidden in layers here.


About You:

You’re someone who:

  • Brings between 2-5 years’ HR experience , ideally in financial services
  • Has strong HR operations fundamentals - detail matters to you
  • Is comfortable working across multiple jurisdictions (EMEA exposure a plus)
  • Knows how to navigate HR systems
  • Is proactive, you spot gaps and fix them
  • Can balance process discipline with adaptability
  • Handles sensitive information with absolute discretion and professionalism


Why This Role Stands Out:

You’ll have:

  • Autonomy to improve how things are done
  • Exposure to senior stakeholders and complex environments
  • The chance to blend operational delivery with project work
  • A platform to accelerate your HR career in a high-calibre business
