Are you a people-first HR professional with a passion for creating meaningful workplace experiences? Do you thrive in agile, fast-moving environments where your ideas are welcomed and your voice matters?


We’re partnering with a dynamic service-based organisation at the heart of Dublin city. They operate in a fast-paced, multicultural space supporting digital platforms within entertainment and tech. Their flat structure, collaborative culture, and employee-first mindset make them a standout employer for ambitious HR professionals.


As HR Generalist, you’ll take full ownership of the people agenda – everything from compliance and policy to performance, talent, culture, and engagement. This is a standalone role, perfect for someone who’s ready to step up and make a real impact.


What you'll be doing:

  • Be the go-to for HR advice, supporting line managers through the full employee lifecycle
  • Lead recruitment, onboarding, and engagement processes
  • Navigate ER issues with empathy and fairness
  • Coordinate payroll, benefits, and bonus schemes
  • Drive wellbeing and DEI initiatives with creativity and care
  • Own performance and learning frameworks, identifying and closing development gaps
  • Keep policies, HRIS and records compliant and up to date
  • Run the office environment and vendor management like a well-oiled machine


What we're looking for:

  • 3+ years in a generalist HR role, ideally in a standalone or SME environment
  • Strong knowledge of Irish employment law
  • CIPD qualified (min. Level 5 or equivalent)
  • A true people person who can build trust at all levels
  • Someone who leads with heart but keeps things commercially grounded
  • Organised, detail-oriented, and confident juggling multiple responsibilities
  • You enjoy mentoring and helping others grow – it’s just who you are.


What’s on offer:

  • €47,200 base + discretionary bonus (10%)
  • €3,360 flexible benefits package to tailor to your needs
  • 4-day working week (10hr shifts) with one 5-day week per month
  • Generous annual leave (200 hours)
  • Hybrid model – up to 40% remote working + added remote flexibility (incl. 2-week block, bank holidays, weekend hybrid extra, menstrual leave)
  • Income protection, death-in-service, WFH support and more
  • Social, inclusive, supportive team culture
  • June 2025 start date preferred



If you’re an HR all-rounder looking to take the reins in a standalone role where your work truly matters – this could be the one. Apply now or reach out for a confidential chat.
