In-House Paralegal - HR/Employment Specialist

We are seeking a talented and business-minded HR/Employment Specialist to join our dynamic HR and Legal team at Onyx Capital Group. Our upward growth trajectory is continuing, and our business operations are expanding rapidly, especially in Zug, Singapore, and Dubai.

The prosperity of Onyx has been attributed to our ability to grow our business at an impressive rate. This is an important factor to understand because you will be working in a high-growth environment which will require you to continuously develop your skills and knowledge.

While this role will include daily tasks, sometimes clerical in nature but always hands-on, you will take on responsibility for highly complex and intricate matters. In such a critical work environment where there is no margin for error, you will need to juggle and complete multiple tasks, meet deadlines, and adapt quickly to changing circumstances while exhibiting meticulous attention to detail.

We are not looking for a candidate who wrongly assumes that their role is to judge and criticise. Instead, we seek someone who can contribute meaningfully to our business. Experience in a trading or financial markets firm is preferred, especially if gained in a fast-paced and dynamic environment. The ideal candidate will have extremely strong problem-solving skills, be capable of detailed analysis and research, and be skilled at summarising key points of critical issues. Strong legal writing skills and advanced proficiency in Excel are also required.

Above all, flexibility and a strong ethic are paramount.

Your duties will include:

• Providing expert legal hands-on support on all employment law matters.
• Drafting and reviewing employment contracts, correspondence, employment handbooks, policies, and procedures.
• Maintaining legal and contractual documentation as required by law.
• Providing input on employee relations and HR issues as needed.
• Ensuring compliance with employment legislation and regulations.
• Supporting investigations and responses to regulatory matters.
• Contributing to special projects such as setting up new offices in different jurisdictions.
• Carrying out general tasks as part of the HR and legal team.
• Collaborating with the Compliance department on SMCR requirements.
