What you’ll be doing 

• Partnering with leaders and managers to understand their teams, priorities and people challenges.
• Coaching leaders to build their confidence and capability in managing people effectively.
• Supporting performance, development, progression and capability conversations.
• Helping identify current and future skills gaps and translating these into meaningful development and capability priorities.
• Supporting the delivery of initiatives that strengthen leadership, management and organisational capability.
• Helping us explore how AI and emerging technology can simplify People activity, improve insight and build capability across the organisation, while ensuring it is used appropriately and responsibly.
• Providing pragmatic advice on employee relations, policy and people risk across multiple jurisdictions.
• Supporting organisational change, restructures and team transitions.
• Using people data, feedback and themes from across the business to identify issues, opportunities and areas requiring attention.
• Supporting engagement activity and helping leaders turn feedback into meaningful action.
• Working closely with colleagues across the People team to deliver joined-up, consistent support.
• Building strong relationships with stakeholders across Ireland, Germany and the USA and working effectively across different cultures, teams and time zones.

You’ll ideally have experience operating as a People Business Partner, HR Business Partner or strong People/HR Generalist within a growing or complex organisation. 
More importantly, you’ll bring:

• Strong business partnering and stakeholder management skills.
• The confidence to coach and constructively challenge senior stakeholders.
• Good knowledge of Irish employment law and employee relations.
• Excellent employment law knowledge.
• Strong judgement and the ability to balance employee experience, commercial needs and risk.
• A genuine interest in skills, capability and how organisations prepare their people for changing ways of working.
• Curiosity about AI and emerging technology, and how it can be used practically rather than simply for the sake of adopting new tools.
• The ability to use data, insight and organisational themes to influence decisions.
• Strong communication and relationship-building skills.
• Comfort working across an international organisation and collaborating with colleagues in different countries.
• High levels of emotional intelligence, discretion and common sense.
• We’re looking for someone curious, willing to work at pace and able to help leaders and teams think differently about how work gets done.
