HR Generalist wanted for start-up Insurance Entity-Fixed Term contract

Abrivia is recruiting for our client, a large North American Insurance Group, that is embarking on an exciting journey, establishing its Irish operation to expand into the European market.

You’ll join at a pivotal time, with the chance to influence and contribute to the company’s growth in Europe. This role is initially offered on a remote basis and will be a contract role.

• Be the main point of contact for employees across Europe, providing essential HR support and advice during this critical start-up phase.
• Manage the day-to-day HR operations, ensuring that all administrative processes run smoothly and efficiently.
• Drive recruitment efforts, from sourcing to onboarding, helping to build a strong team for the company’s European expansion.
• Lead on employee relations, handling disciplinary actions, grievances, and attendance management with care and professionalism.
• Support payroll administration and ensure timely, accurate processing.
• Assist in creating and delivering Learning and Development programmes, contributing to the growth and success of the team.
• Produce reports and maintain accurate HR data, ensuring compliance and providing insights to support decision-making.
• Contribute to the company’s compliance and risk management strategies, supporting the smooth operation of the business.

Your Skills:

• HR qualification (e.g. CIPD Level 3+) or equivalent experience.
• Over 5 years of experience in an HR role, with broad generalist responsibilities.
• Strong skills in HR systems and databases, with proficiency in Microsoft Office applications.
• Experience in managing recruitment, employee relations, and payroll in a European context.
• Solid understanding of European employment law, with a focus on compliance and best practices.
• Self-motivated, adaptable, and able to work independently while supporting the broader HR team.
