HR Director

About Us

Tiger Brokers is the global online brokerage of UP Fintech Holding Limited (NASDAQ: TIGR), serving investors across the U.S., Singapore, Hong Kong, Australia and New Zealand. Our U.S. operations include FINRA-member broker-dealers headquartered in New York.

The Role

We are hiring a local U.S. HR leader: a hands-on HR generalist leader rather than a single-function specialist. Over the next 12–18 months, priorities are supporting the U.S. organizational realignment and leadership transition, rebuilding our local product and engineering teams, supporting executive searches for open leadership roles, and building compliant, reliable HR operations.

We run a high-performance culture: we favor automated workflows, real autonomy without layers of approval, and practical business judgment over slow, traditional HR processes. The right person is equally comfortable partnering with executives on strategy and executing hands-on.

1、Organization & Workforce Planning

• Translate U.S. business strategy into annual workforce plans and headcount budgets
• Shape org design and role definitions, and drive organizational changes to completion
• Deliver regular HR and organizational-effectiveness analytics to inform leadership decisions

• Lead talent reviews, succession planning and manager leadership development
• Integrate employees on assignment from our global offices and local hires into one culture

4、Employee Relations & Compliance

• Own employee relations, investigations, separations and disputes, engaging outside counsel as needed
• Ensure compliance with federal, New York and other state employment laws: FLSA classification, I-9, NY annual harassment-prevention training, leave and sick-time policies, employee handbook
• FINRA registration: In partnership with Compliance, own Form U4/U5 filings and amendments, fingerprinting and background checks (Rule 3110(e)), statutory disqualification screening, and tracking of registrations and continuing education
• Implement group HR policies with the Group HR Center of Excellence in line with U.S. law; with Legal, oversee cross-border transfers of employee personal data

5、Compensation, Benefits, Payroll & Global Mobility

• Manage compensation structure and market benchmarking, annual pay reviews and bonus processes
• Oversee payroll, health insurance, 401(k) and other benefits (ERISA compliance), and PEO/benefits vendors
• Manage immigration matters (L-1, H-1B, working with immigration counsel) and housing/living allowance policies for employees on assignment

6、HR Systems & Automation

• Ensure accurate U.S. reporting, sound employee data architecture and mobility tracking
• Automate HR workflows (onboarding, job changes, offboarding, approvals, reporting) to replace manual processing
