- Build strong working relationships with managers and leadership teams across a distributed, field-based workforce
- Support and develop managers in building their people management capability - including giving feedback, navigating difficult conversations, managing performance, and supporting development
- Manage employee relations matters end to end, providing clear, consistent guidance to managers at every stage of the process
- Support business change, restructuring, and integration activity with a clear focus on the people impact
- Use people data and analytics to spot patterns and support better decision-making across the business
- Contribute to talent management, succession planning, and capability development across the business
- Support diversity, inclusion, and engagement initiatives, including acting on survey findings at leadership level
- Work with the wider People team on compliance, governance, and alignment with Irish employment legislation and HR standards
- Support workforce planning conversations with senior stakeholders
- Work closely with the recruitment team on hiring activity aligned to business needs and workforce plans
- Support the onboarding of new hires and help ensure they are set up for success
- Contribute to wider People projects and collaborate with HR colleagues to drive consistency and improve employee experience
- Mentor and support more junior members of the HR team

- Experience operating at HR Business Partner level, ideally within a multi-site or fast-paced commercial environment
- Strong working knowledge of employee relations, performance management, and Irish employment law
- Experience supporting a commercially driven, distributed or field-based workforce.
- Genuine curiosity about the businesses and teams being supported - the commercial leaders here respond well to someone who takes a real interest in what they do
- Comfortable with ambiguity and organisational change - and able to see the opportunity in it rather than the disruption
- Confident building relationships with and influencing senior stakeholders
- Able to balance strategic thinking with hands-on delivery
- Comfortable working across more than one office location
- Able to mentor and support more junior HR colleagues
- Desirable
- Degree in HR, Business, or a related discipline;
