## Job description

Company Description

Prism Media LLC (“Prism Media”) is a newly established portfolio company of Soros Fund Management LLC (“SFM”), a global asset manager and family office with approximately $28 billion in assets under management.

Prism Media is a centralized operating platform that supports a growing number of leading digital media and information businesses within SFM’s Media Partnerships and Investments portfolio, including Crooked Media, First We Feast, Her Campus Media, and MeidasTouch Network.

The Prism Media team provides finance, legal, human resources, and operations capabilities to drive efficiency, enable growth, and help shape the next phase of each business.

## Role Overview

The Head of People will lead talent and people operations across our portfolio of operating companies. This role oversees recruitment strategy, organizational design, and evolving HR systems as new and existing teams are scaled and integrated. This role is responsible for ensuring that people practices remain coherent and effective as new companies are added and existing teams scale.

Key responsibilities include supporting key hiring efforts, defining roles and organizational structure, and establishing clear, consistent approaches to performance management and compensation.

While portfolio companies operate independently, this role will identify and implement shared practices where they improve efficiency and consistency – particularly across recruitment, total rewards & benefits strategy, HR systems, policies, compliance – without adding unnecessary process.

This position requires strong judgment on talent and the ability to partner closely with leadership teams in a practical, hands-on manner.

This is a full-time, New York-area role requiring four in-office days per week in our New York city office.

Major Responsibilities

Talent Acquisition & Workforce Planning

- Support hiring across portfolio companies, including defining roles and participating in key hires (especially senior leadership positions)
- Partner with portfolio leadership on organizational structure, role clarity, and team effectiveness

Performance Management & Compensation Strategy

- Establish clear expectations and practical performance management approaches across companies
- Develop and maintain practical compensation frameworks, including salary bands and incentive structures where appropriate

People Operations. Infrastructure, & Compliance

- Establish simple, consistent people processes (e.g., onboarding, performance reviews) across companies where useful
- Identify and implement shared people infrastructure where it creates leverage, including HR systems, policies, compliance processes, benefits administration, and recruiting workflows
- Ensure compliance with employment laws and HR requirements, working with internal and external partners as needed
- Coordinate with HR resources within portfolio companies and external providers where applicable, while maintaining ownership of outcomes
- Identify and implement practical tools and systems (including automation and AI where appropriate) to support recruiting, tracking, and people workflows

What We Value:

- Bachelor’s degree required
- Minimum 8 years of experience as a generalist, with experience across recruiting, people operations and total rewards & benefits
- Strong track record of hiring for operating roles, including senior leadership positions
- Experience building or improving people processes and systems, and supporting organizational design and team effectiveness
- Ability to assess talent and make sound hiring decisions
- Comfortable working directly with operating teams in a hands-on capacity
- Practical, business-oriented judgment
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills
- Ability to manage multiple workstreams in a fast-paced environment
- Familiarity with recruiting and HR systems; openness to using new tools, including automation and AI, to improve workflows

What Success Looks Like

- Strong leaders and teams are hired across portfolio companies
- Hiring processes are effective and do not slow down company growth
- Teams are well-structured, with clear roles and expectations
- Performance issues are addressed early and managed effectively
- Compensation and people practices are consistent and easy to apply across companies
- Shared people infrastructure (systems, benefits, compliance, recruiting processes) is implemented where it creates efficiency without adding unnecessary complexity
- Portfolio leadership views People as a practical, high-value partner
- People processes are simple, scalable, and consistently used

We anticipate the base salary of this role to be between $225,000-$250,000. In addition to a base salary, the successful candidate will also be eligible to receive a discretionary year-end bonus.
