Sr. Director of People

to join our team in a rare and exceptional opportunity that combines both global leadership with focused strategic direction. This isn't just another HR position – it's a career-defining role designed for a people leader ready to embrace both breadth and depth in their professional journey.

The successful candidate will step into an already high performing People function where you'll immediately take the helm of our entire people function (HR and Recruiting) in the USA and Ireland. Then, after mastering the global landscape, you'll channel your expertise into leading the HR function specifically for our growing USA team.

The Journey : First 12 Months :

Lead our entire people function covering a maternity leave for our Global Head of People. You'll oversee both the People and Recruitment functions for both our US and Ireland offices, giving you unprecedented exposure to international HR leadership and the chance to have a genuine impact on our global organization and growth.

After 12 months :

Once our Global Head of People returns, you'll focus on elevating and building our US People operations. As the permanent HR Snr Director for our U.S. HR team, you'll build upon your previous global People experience to create tailored strategies that attract, develop, and retain top talent across NAMER whilst supporting our US business leaders across their HR initiatives and programs.

This full-time, permanent position offers the best of both worlds – the excitement and challenge of global leadership followed by the opportunity to have true impact in our strategic core region. It's perfect for an ambitious People leader who thrives on variety, embraces transformation, and is ready to grow their career in unexpected ways.
