We're looking for an HR Generalist to support our employees in Singapore as part of our regional Asia HR team.
This role is for someone who loves helping people and solving problems, particularly through making HR processes work seamlessly. You'll be the first point of contact for HR queries on the ground, fielding a wide range of employee and manager inquiries, advising on our policies and processes, assisting with benefit administration and connecting people with the training and support they need to be successful in their roles. You'll also help maintain HR databases with employee files and records. These responsibilities require incredible attention to detail and the highest levels of internal and external confidentiality.
You'll work with enough autonomy to triage and resolve issues day-to-day, while collaborating closely with the wider regional team on approach and priorities. Our ability to get the little things right and the personal attention we give each of our employees is what drives our HR success and our culture.
Beyond day-to-day support, you'll assist with HR projects and operational improvements. These projects will provide an opportunity to collaborate across global teams within and outside of HR, giving you exposure to a wide range of HR work across our offices. We don't expect you to know everything immediately, but the right person will be eager to learn and not afraid to ask questions. You should be willing to accept feedback from others and look at any mistake as an opportunity to learn and grow.

Jane Street Insights
What We Do
Jane Street works differently. As a liquidity provider and market maker, we trade on more than 200 trading venues across 45 countries and help form the backbone of global markets. Our approach is rooted in technology and rigorous quantitative analysis, but our success is driven by our people. Our bright, beautiful offices in the heart of New York, London, Hong Kong, and Amsterdam are open and buzzing with conversation. We come from many backgrounds and encourage travel between offices to share perspectives. Some of our best ideas come from bumping into a visiting colleague at the office coffee bar. Markets move fast. Staying competitive as we’ve grown has required constant invention—of new trading strategies, technology, and processes. We’ve found this is easier when you hire humble, kind people. They tend to help each other, and prioritize teamwork over titles. We invest heavily in teaching and training. There’s a library and a classroom in every office, because deepening your understanding of something is considered real work. Guest lectures, classes, and conferences round out the intellectual exchanges that happen every day. People grow into long careers at Jane Street because there are always new and interesting problems to solve, systems to build, and theories to test. More than twenty years after our founding, it still feels like we’re just getting started.
