I am delighted to partner with a leading financial services company as they continue to expand their Dublin office. This is an excellent opportunity to join a global organisation renowned for its collaborative culture, strong growth, and commitment to excellence.

The HR Operations specialist will work closely with global teams to enhance HR systems and processes, ensuring seamless support for employees and efficient day-to-day HR operations.

- Manage employee data in Workday, including hires, transfers, exits, and updates, ensuring accuracy and smooth process execution.
- Support position management and reporting in Workday and Greenhouse, maintaining reliable and up-to-date information.
- Coordinate onboarding activities for new hires and ensure smooth transitions for departing employees.
- Handle background checks, verify documentation (work authorisation, visas), and ensure all HR activities comply with local employment regulations.
- Assist employees with personal data updates, queries, and HR-related issues.
- Help map, document, and refine HR processes, driving efficiency in collaboration with HR systems teams.
- Run reports, track operational metrics, and share insights to support informed decision-making.
- Support testing and validation of HR system enhancements, with a focus on EMEA-specific processes.
- Collaborate with HR teams across regions to share best practices and maintain consistency globally.

Skills and Experience Required

- Minimum 12 - 18 months' experience in a similar role, ideally within financial or professional services
- Workday experience is essential
- Strong proficiency with MS Office, particularly Excel
- Understanding of HR processes and employment regulations in the EMEA region
- Experience with Greenhouse ATS and ServiceNow is highly desirable
- Excellent organisational skills and strong attention to detail
- Proven ability to manage processes and data accurately

What We're Looking For

- A self-starter with high energy, strong work ethic, and the ability to work independently
- Curious and analytical, eager to learn end-to-end processes and drive improvements
- Detail-oriented problem-solver who raises concerns and proposes solutions
- Professional and discreet, able to handle sensitive information with maturity and sound judgment
- A team player who thrives in a collaborative environment, willing to pitch in where needed

This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing Dublin team and make a real impact within a global organisation. If you have strong HR operations experience and are ready to take the next step in your career, we'd love to hear from you.
