It would be advantageous to have experience within financial services, commodity trading or asset management (or similar), although this isn’t essential for candidates with relevant HR experience.

In addition to the HR duties, candidates will be managing recruitment from start to finish (c10 roles at any one time), so previous recruitment experience is required, and ideally international experience (although this isn’t essential).
