The opportunity timeline

• Overview

  DE Shaw is hiring a HR Assistant in New York, NY.

• Role description

  As a HR Assistant, you'll dig into the numbers, surface what matters, and recommend where DE Shaw should focus next. Honestly, the draw is the ownership: $131,000 - $173,000 and remote hours come standard, but the business reins are the real prize.

  Key Responsibilities

  • Prioritize the backlog when everything is labeled urgent by someone
  • Carry the client-focused idea through the gauntlet of finance, legal, and ops
  • Partner with finance, marketing, and product to align on shared business outcomes
  • Pressure-test new market entries before DE Shaw commits real budget
  • Run the comparison that ends the build-versus-partner debate for good

  What You'll Bring

  • Comfort interpreting data and translating findings into clear recommendations
  • Comfort with the remote cadence of a New York-based operation
  • Knowledge of NY-specific regulations relevant to business work
  • Proven Interviewing judgment when the textbook answer doesn't fit
  • An eye for the design-led detail that separates fine from finished
  • A collaborative mindset and genuine enthusiasm for teamwork
  • Interviewing fundamentals plus the Resilience polish clients notice

  Most of DE Shaw still fits in one New York building, and that joyfully-rigorous closeness is exactly why its business work stays sharp. We default to documenting decisions so NY and remote teammates stay equally in the loop.

  You join at $131,000 - $173,000, grow with a mentor, lean on benefits, and flex your hours so New York fits work instead of the reverse.

  Re-confirmed open this morning, the senior seat at DE Shaw stays available.
