• Advising and supporting managers on Irish employment legislation and HR best practice
• Supporting organisational change, restructures and consultation processes
• Coaching managers and helping to strengthen their people-management capabilities
• Contributing to HR policies, procedures and wider people initiatives
• Creating, interpreting and using HR metrics to support effective decision-making

We’re looking for someone who can confidently operate at HR Business Partner or Senior HR Generalist level and is comfortable balancing day-to-day operational HR with broader people initiatives.

You’ll ideally bring:

• Previous experience as an HR Business Partner or Senior HR Generalist
• A CIPD qualification or equivalent
• Strong, current knowledge of Irish employment law
• Extensive experience managing employee relations cases in line with Irish legislation
• Confidence advising and coaching managers on HR matters and best practice
• Experience supporting employees and managers throughout the full employee lifecycle
• Experience creating and interpreting HR metrics
• The ability to work collaboratively within a wider HR team while taking ownership of Ireland-specific HR requirements

This would suit an experienced HR professional who enjoys being close to the business, building strong relationships with managers and employees, and taking a hands-on approach to delivering effective HR support.
