Talent Acquisition and HR Coordinator

About Us: Headquartered in Chicago, Performance Trust Capital Partners, LLC is an investment bank that combines Wall Street scale with the agility of an independent, employee-owned firm. We help financial institutions uncover overlooked opportunities, navigate complexity, and make decisions grounded in insight—not impulse. Our work is focused on long-term impact and relationships built on what matters most: trust and enduring performance.

About the Position: We are actively seeking a Talent Acquisition and HR Coordinator to support the Talent Acquisition team and act as a resource for day-to-day HR support.

This role will work on a hybrid schedule, based in our Chicago office.

Unsolicited resumes or submissions from external agencies not authorized by our Talent Acquisition team will be considered direct candidate applications.
