HR/People Business Partner

Role: Human Resources/People Business Partner 

Location: New York, US (Hybrid) 

Recently listed as a "RegTech Top Performer" in Market Fintech's RegTech Supplier Performance Report, CUBE is pioneering the development of machine automated compliance. 

We are a global RegTech business defining and implementing the gold standard of regulatory intelligence and change for the financial services industry. We deliver our services through a SaaS platform, powered by an innovative combination of AI and proprietary data ontology, to simplify the complex and everchanging world of compliance for our clients. 

At CUBE, we are creating the future and are a company rooted in strong values, team spirit and commitment to our customers and wider communities. We serve some of the largest financial institutions globally and are expanding our footprint very fast. As we do so, we are keen for new talent to join us and realize their full potential to grow into leadership positions within the business.

Role mission:  

The role holder will be responsible for the development and delivery of a complete range of HR activities, implemented with consistency (where possible) across CUBE globally.

You will be required to demonstrate the CUBE values, support the business culture and provide a full, rounded HR business partner service to the team in the USA, whilst collaborating and partnering with the global People function and other commercial functions.

This is a stand-alone role (in region) and you will have the opportunity to build the department, in collaboration with the CPO and wider People team. Consistency of messaging and process is key, but you will possess the knowledge to guide where local requirements require flexibility and in line with statutory obligations.

You will have the opportunity to partner with the CPO on global people projects and supporting the growth of the US business.

This is a particularly significant role due to the planned growth of the business and the need for a more globalised People organisation structure. You will need to be self-sufficient and comfortable challenging the status quo but also helping peers to understand the ‘why’ behind HR decisions and in turn developing their understanding and support of HR.

Employee Life Cycle Management

• Drive the branding of the businesses as an employer of choice via socials and other suitable networks in partnership with the Marketing team/global People team

Business Partnering

• Support and mentor the leadership team and managers

HR Systems

• Drive the HR system to the next level by working on ‘adoption’ and usage of the system as the ‘system of record’ for all employee related data
• Use of the system to produce MI (management information) and provide data that can be used to make informed business decisions (Dashboards)

What we’re looking for: 

• • SHRM qualified, ideally SCP level
  • Comfortable challenging managers/current business practice and supporting/driving change
  • An experienced BP who can work alone, but is comfortable in a global environment
  • Someone with a background or keen interest in comp and bens would be a distinct advantage
  • Previous business partnering experience
