Soros Fund ManagementNew York, New York, United States · Posted 2 months agoDescription
Company Description
Prism Media LLC (“Prism Media”) is a newly established portfolio company of Soros Fund Management LLC (“SFM”), a global asset manager and family office with approximately $28 billion in assets under management.
Prism Media is a centralized operating platform that supports a growing number of leading digital media and information businesses within SFM’s Media Partnerships and Investments portfolio, including Crooked Media, First We Feast, Her Campus Media, and MeidasTouch Network.

Role Overview
The Head of People will lead talent and people operations across our portfolio of operating companies. This role oversees recruitment strategy, organizational design, and evolving HR systems as new and existing teams are scaled and integrated. This role is responsible for ensuring that people practices remain coherent and effective as new companies are added and existing teams scale.
Key responsibilities include supporting key hiring efforts, defining roles and organizational structure, and establishing clear, consistent approaches to performance management and compensation.
While portfolio companies operate independently, this role will identify and implement shared practices where they improve efficiency and consistency – particularly across recruitment, total rewards & benefits strategy, HR systems, policies, compliance – without adding unnecessary process.
This position requires strong judgment on talent and the ability to partner closely with leadership teams in a practical, hands-on manner.
This is a full-time, New York-area role requiring four in-office days per week in our New York city office.

- Develop and maintain practical compensation frameworks, including salary bands and incentive structures where appropriate
People Operations. Infrastructure, & Compliance
- Establish simple, consistent people processes (e.g., onboarding, performance reviews) across companies where useful
- Identify and implement shared people infrastructure where it creates leverage, including HR systems, policies, compliance processes, benefits administration, and recruiting workflows
- Ensure compliance with employment laws and HR requirements, working with internal and external partners as needed
- Coordinate with HR resources within portfolio companies and external providers where applicable, while maintaining ownership of outcomes
- Identify and implement practical tools and systems (including automation and AI where appropriate) to support recruiting, tracking, and people workflows
What We Value:
- Bachelor’s degree required
- Minimum 8 years of experience as a generalist, with experience across recruiting, people operations and total rewards & benefits
- Strong track record of hiring for operating roles, including senior leadership positions
- Experience building or improving people processes and systems, and supporting organizational design and team effectiveness
- Ability to assess talent and make sound hiring decisions
- Comfortable working directly with operating teams in a hands-on capacity
- Practical, business-oriented judgment
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills
- Ability to manage multiple workstreams in a fast-paced environment
- Familiarity with recruiting and HR systems; openness to using new tools, including automation and AI, to improve workflows
What Success Looks Like
- Strong leaders and teams are hired across portfolio companies
- Hiring processes are effective and do not slow down company growth
- Teams are well-structured, with clear roles and expectations
