Ireland sd worx Full time

SD Worx is a leading European provider of Payroll & HR services with global reach. SD Worx has 6000+ employees who operate in countries all over Europe and in Mauritius.

Part of the ever-evolving SD Worx Group, SD Worx Ireland, formerly Intelligo, is a leading provider of payroll software and services. We pay 1 in every 5 people in corporate Ireland today and have built an enviable reputation for delivering dependable and robust payroll solutions. We work hard every day to maintain and build on that reputation, from product development, project delivery, support and maintenance, through to go-live and ongoing payroll services. We are a trusted payroll partner for many of the world’s most recognised brands , who rely on us to deliver accurate payroll solutions for each and every pay day.

What do we have to offer?

Reporting to the Head of Legal (UK&I) who is based in England, you will form part of a dynamic and diverse Group Legal team that supports the whole of the SD Worx business. Despite geographical distance, you will work closely with the rest of Corporate Legal to continuously improve the ways of working for legal services across the Group.

That being said, your focus will be on Ireland . You will provide general commercial legal support to the business whilst advising and monitoring all applicable aspects of law relating to the company’s business operations. You will assist the management team and internal stakeholders (for example in sales, operations, product & finance) in ensuring that the business follows proper legal procedures in every way possible. You will advocate the fiduciary, statutory and ethical concerns raised in the organisation and strive to resolve legal issues in all areas and within the SD Worx risk appetite.

Below you will find a standard list of requirements usually reserved for a legal role like this. We feel it is important for them to be included here so that you know what is expected of you. That being said, you will not find a minimum required university grade or set number of years PQE.

There is a reason for this. We are, of course, looking for a qualified lawyer who can do the job and demonstrate excellence in the legal field. But we are also looking for somebody who is keen to learn more about our business and people and be creative in solving problems within our industry.

Salary & Benefits

SD Worx will offer an attractive salary for this role. You will not find one stated here though, as the salary will be dependent on the level of experience and expertise that the successful candidate brings to the team. We do not want to dissuade anyone from applying because the salary we might put here is at the wrong level. To that end, if you are happy to do so when applying, please let us know what your salary expectations are. Equally, it is fine if you would prefer not to, and we will discuss it at the appropriate time.

SD Worx offers a hybrid working model which may flex depending upon business needs. We will offer you the autonomy and flexibility to take ownership of your work and career, and will provide excellent exposure to interesting and challenging work within an international, ever-growing company.
