We are headquartered in Chicago with offices and remote team members across the United States and an office in Europe. Our success derives from a relentless pursuit of new trading ideas and careful attention to technology. An entrepreneurial mindset runs deep at Gelber and drives each of us to take responsibility for making a meaningful contribution to our collective success. We believe our traders and staff are our greatest asset and we are committed to providing them the resources and opportunities they need to make an impact in our business.

  • Monitor and ensure Gelber's compliance with federal, state, and local employment laws and regulations, and recommended best practices; review and modify policies and procedures to maintain compliance.
  • Conduct research and analysis of organizational trends including review of reports and metrics from Gelber's human resource information system (HRIS) and talent management system.
  • Facilitate professional development, training, and certification activities across all HR staff.
What you'll need:
  • A strategic vision for HR coupled with strong supervisory and leadership skills.
  • Thorough knowledge of employment-related laws and regulations.
  • Strong interpersonal skills that allow you to work comfortably and productively across all levels of the organization, as well as with external entities.

  • An ability to adapt as necessary to inevitable changes in a fast-moving environment.
  • A commitment to mentoring.
  • A can-do attitude with a bias toward finding solutions and getting things done.
  • An entrepreneurial mindset, healthy ambition, and an ability to delegate when appropriate.
  • Appropriate self-confidence, a competitive spirit, and an enjoyment of all things related to the financial markets are huge positives.
  • Bachelor's degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, or related field required
  • At least five years of human resource management experience required
  • Applicable HR training (SHRM-CP, SHRM-SCP, HRCI-PHR, HRCI-SPHR) highly preferred
