A global private investment firm based in Minnesota planned to set up a new office in New York City at the beginning of the year. Two of the firm’s Principals had originally re-located to Minneapolis and wanted to return to New York. The firm also had decided to set up a new Associates’ program based in NYC to allow them to tap into top investment talent in NYC for the long term. For this role we needed to find a very seasoned Office Manager who had in- depth experience setting up new offices and could handle some of the human resource tasks locally with little intervention from the main HR groups in Minnesota and London. The candidate also had to have a “no job too small attitude”. being able and willing to initially support the key Managing Partners in the beginning until the office grew and was able to hire additional staff. The client had a long lead time for hiring so the role had a delayed stat date making it challenging to find someone to commit so far into the future. We found the “right fit” candidate who was working at a prestigious investment firm in NYC for over 10 years and prior to that was an Operations Manager. The candidate also had a BA and Masters’ degree.
