## Job description

CAIS is the pioneer in democratizing access to and education about alternative investments for independent financial advisors, empowering them to engage and transact with leading asset managers on a massive scale through a wide variety of alternative investment products and technology solutions. CAIS provides financial advisors with a broad selection of alternative investment strategies, including hedge funds, private equity, private credit, real estate, digital assets, and structured notes. CAIS also delivers industry-leading technology, operational efficiency, and world-class client service throughout the pre-trade, trade, and post-trade experience. CAIS serves over 2,500 wealth management firms that support more than 65,000 financial advisors who oversee approximately $8.5 trillion in end-client assets.

CAIS is seeking a Senior Talent Acquisition Partner to deliver searches from initial brief through accepted offer, focusing on quality, consistency, and speed of hiring.

This is a senior individual contributor role for an accomplished recruiter who combines exceptional sourcing and market-mapping capability with sound judgement, commercial understanding, and credibility with senior leaders. You will recruit across a varied portfolio of teams and role types throughout CAIS, including Operations, Client Service, Sales, and Marketing, Technology, Product, and other functions across our offices in the United States and London, England.

We are particularly interested in recruiters who have successfully managed a broad portfolio of searches at the same time, rather than specializing exclusively in one function. Experience in one or more of the functions above is valuable, and candidates from asset management, wealth management, alternative investments, or fintech environments are likely to bring relevant market understanding. Experience across every function or sector is not expected.

This is not a strategy-only or team-management role. You will remain directly involved throughout the candidate journey, including sourcing, outreach, interview coordination, scheduling, assessment, and closing. You will earn influence through the quality of your delivery, the strength of your advice, and your ability to align hiring teams around clear, evidence-based decisions.

## Responsibilities

- Lead full-cycle recruitment across a flexible portfolio of functions, locations, and seniority levels, prioritized against CAIS's most important business needs.
- Take ownership of approved roles from initial intake through accepted offer, including candidate communication, scheduling, assessment, offer management, and closing.
- Support business leader to translate business requirements into clear role briefs, candidate profiles, sourcing strategies, scorecards, and structured selection processes.
- Build and maintain direct talent pipelines through proactive sourcing, market mapping, referrals, and long-term relationship development.
- Provide leaders with market intelligence on talent availability, compensation, competitor activity, and likely hiring constraints.
- Host role-alignment meetings with hiring managers and confirmed interview panels before searches move into full delivery.
- Design effective interview plans and assessment methods that support fair, consistent, and evidence-based decisions.
- Deliver practical interviewer training and coach interview debriefs, helping teams distinguish evidence from intuition or familiarity.
- Use CAIS's recruiting technology and AI tools effectively and partner with Recruitment Operations on ATS workflows, automation, reporting, and process monitoring.
- Evaluate emerging recruiting and AI technologies and make evidence-based recommendations on where new tools could improve hiring outcomes or candidate experience.

## Qualifications

- Substantial in-house recruiting experience, with evidence of delivering complex and business-critical searches.
- Experience in asset management, wealth management, alternative investments, fintech, or a related financial-services environment.
- Demonstrated success managing a varied portfolio across different functions and seniority levels at the same time.
- Recruiting experience within one or more of: Operations, Client Service, Sales, Marketing, Technology, or Product.
- Exceptional direct-sourcing, talent-mapping, and candidate-engagement capability.
- Evidence of delivering difficult searches without defaulting to external agencies.
- Strong judgement and the credibility to advise, influence, and constructively challenge senior leaders.
- Strong command of applicant tracking systems, sourcing platforms, recruiting analytics, and candidate-management tools.
- Genuine curiosity about AI and emerging recruiting technology, combined with the discipline to evaluate tools critically.
- Comfort operating as a hands-on individual contributor, including personally managing candidate communication and interview scheduling.

CAIS is consistently recognized as a Best Place to Work, and our culture is at the heart of our success. We are committed to fostering an inclusive environment where employees can be their most authentic self and feel inspired and supported to bring their voice forward to drive community, growth, and innovation. We are an equal opportunity employer, and do not discriminate on the basis of any protected attribute, including race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression, age, marital or veteran status, pregnancy or disability, or any other basis protected under applicable law.  Learn more about our culture, benefits, and people at https://www.caisgroup.com/our-company/careers.

CAIS’ compensation package includes a market competitive salary, a performance bonus, and exceptional benefits. If you are located in New York, New York, the base salary range for this role is $160,000 - $195,000. Actual compensation is influenced by a wide array of factors including but not limited to skill set, level of experience, and specific office location.

CAIS offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes generously subsidized healthcare, dental and vision insurance, an employer matched retirement plan, wellness programs, and generous PTO and parental leave. Additionally, CAIS offers a flexible, hybrid in-office model.

We use technology, including AI tools, to support parts of our recruitment process such as application screening, interview scheduling, and candidate communications. These tools are used to improve efficiency and consistency, but they do not replace human judgement. All hiring decisions are made by people, and we are committed to fair and unbiased assessment of every candidate.
