Dublin, Dublin City, Ireland HR Search Full time

We are partnering with a leading multinational organisation to appoint a Chief Human Resources Officer for its Irish operations.

This is a career-defining position for a proven HR leader — or an ambitious "Number 2" — seeking to step into a top role in Ireland. You will work closely with the Irish leadership team and EMEA colleagues to shape the HR function, drive organisational performance, and deliver a high-impact people strategy.

The role demands a globally minded, culturally agile leader who thrives in a fast-paced, matrixed environment and can balance enterprise-wide objectives with local needs.

You will act as an architect of people strategy and cultural integration, shape a cohesive and inclusive employee experience, support post-M&A integration across borders, and mentor a high-performing team that embodies collaboration, adaptability, and purpose.

Responsibilities
  • Lead HR strategy and operations for Ireland, with potential to expand into an EMEA remit.
  • Oversee direct and dotted-line responsibility for up to 40 team members, including HRBP and TA functions.
  • Partner with Irish leadership to influence, guide, and deliver on business objectives.
  • Build strong relationships across EMEA and contribute to the global HR agenda.
  • Shape and develop the future HR structure to support business growth.
  • Operate effectively in a private equity-backed environment, embracing change and growth opportunities.
  • Drive post-M&A people integration and cultural transformation.
  • Travel approximately 30% of the time to support international collaboration.
What We're Looking For
  • 15+ years of senior HR leadership experience, ideally within a global, complex, or professional services environment.
  • HR industry background in Professional Services/Advisory, Financial Services, Technology, or Telecommunications.
  • Previous experience working in Ireland and a track record of leading high-performing teams and building inclusive workplace cultures.
  • Strong strategic capability with a solid operational grounding (from HR or business leadership).
  • Demonstrated success in organisational design, and scaling HR functions.
  • High energy, professionalism, and strong executive presence to influence senior stakeholders.
Why Apply?

This is a rare opportunity to lead in a dynamic, growth-oriented environment where you can directly shape the future of HR.
