What are we looking for?

We are looking for a Head of HR to ensure that all human resources (HR) operations are carried out smoothly and effectively. You will be responsible for developing HR strategies and providing sound advice to senior management on all related subjects. You should be able to manage programs and lead staff while also possessing a strong strategic mindset.

As a key position reporting to Director of Operations, we are looking for candidates who possess strong leadership qualities, strategic thinking abilities, and effective people management skills. The position is based in the US but involves supervising operations in the UK as well, so experience or knowledge across multiple regions would be particularly advantageous. Our objective is to enhance the significance of strategic HR within our organization and ensure the long-term success of both our HR function and the company as a whole.

Who are we?

Valstro is a newly formed FinTech partnership working to deliver next-gen, Cloud-First, trading solutions to global, multi-asset class institutional clients. You may call us a startup or a "baby enterprise." Regardless of the term you prefer, we are a "people-first" company: all the value that we plan to bring to clients comes from the efforts of a collaborative, motivated and well-supported team.

The applications that we are building are highly modular, well-tested, well-documented, and internally discoverable - all of which are, we believe, the not-so-secret sauce that will enable us to scale the product and the business.

Our overarching commercial goal is to shake up an industry that is overdue for tech-driven disruption as we expand our capabilities and reach, pushing established industry practices forward in every respect. We are tackling these challenges because we believe that our clients deserve better, and if that vision appeals to you, then read on.

Leadership brings a genuine wealth of experience and industry knowledge, and for a young company, we humbly believe that we have our product/market fit very carefully dialed in. As we move to execute and deliver the vision to clients, the Engineering team will need client-obsessed, delivery-focused high performers (with a healthy dose of humility, of course) that we can help grow into the FinTech leaders of the future.
