About the role
The Human Resources Department at Bridgewater Associates is dedicated to strengthening the talent and systems that drive individual and organizational excellence- supporting our mission to develop a deep understanding of global economies and serve our clients with distinction. HR partners closely with business leaders across the full employee lifecycle, providing both strategic thought partnership and rigorous operational execution across recruiting, onboarding, compensation, benefits, performance, and workplace experience. With an AI-first mindset, the team continuously builds capacity for higher-value work and improves the employee experience at scale. Our five core responsibilities span serving as subject matter experts on all people operations, running the processes that bring our talent strategy to life, ensuring every employee feels deeply cared for and celebrated, safeguarding the institution through disciplined compliance and governance, and building the infrastructure behind firm-wide talent operations. At the heart of everything we do is a commitment to cultural alignment, precision, and creating an environment where people are supported and positioned to succeed. We are currently seeking an Executive Coordinator to support Bridgewater’s Chief Human Resources Officer. This person will be a key partner in managing the CHRO’s time, commitments, and coordination, and will liaise often with senior leaders and teams across the department and the firm. The Executive Coordinator will independently field and prioritize incoming requests, manage commitments and calendars, and ensure broad organization and coordination across the CHRO’s responsibilities. This role requires a highly organized person who thrives in a fast-paced environment and can juggle multiple, sometimes competing, priorities seamlessly, staying two steps ahead of the CHRO and connecting the day-to-day to the goals it serves. Given the sensitive nature of the information the office engages on, unwavering professionalism, absolute discretion, and exceptional judgment are all non-negotiable. This is an "admin plus" role with room to grow — including applying AI to the office's work and taking on projects across the CHRO's agenda. It takes all types to make Bridgewater great. We seek a diverse group of innovative thinkers and push them to engage in rigorous and thoughtful inquiry. We develop people through an honest examination of their abilities and performance, enabling personal growth and professional development. We strive to provide you opportunities that will challenge you and unlock your potential.
