HR Compliance Specialist (EMEA People Ops)

HR Compliance Specialist

12-month contract | Fully remote (Ireland-based)

I'm hiring an HR Compliance Specialist for a global fintech organisation operating at scale across EMEA, APAC and the Americas.

This is a hands-on People Operations role focused on HR compliance, reporting, audits and process improvement - ideal for someone at a mid-senior individual contributor level who enjoys combining operational detail with project work in a fast-paced tech environment.

The role

You'll support HR compliance across international markets, with a particular focus on EMEA. While the team provides Tier 2 support for compliance-related requests, the core of the role is projects, processes and audit readiness, rather than high-volume ticket handling.

What you'll do

• Support and oversee People Ops compliance activities across international markets
• Handle Tier 2 compliance requests (e.g. regulatory data requests, personal data queries, reporting)
• Support HR audits and compliance reviews
• Maintain and improve HR compliance processes, documentation and reporting
• Partner with Legal, Payroll, People COEs and Systems teams on compliance initiatives
• Contribute to compliance-focused projects and process improvements
• Work with HR systems (including Workday) to support reporting and controls

What they're looking for

• 4+ years' experience in People Operations and/or HR Compliance
• Strong understanding of HR compliance in Ireland, with exposure to international markets
• Experience supporting audits, compliance reporting and operational HR processes
• Project-oriented mindset; comfortable managing multiple workstreams
• Experience in a global, fast-moving tech or fintech environment
• Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
• Hands-on Workday experience

The details

• Fully remote (Ireland-based)
• 12-month contract
• Global remit within a scaling fintech

If you're a People Ops professional with a strong compliance mindset who enjoys hands-on work, structured processes and project delivery, this is a role worth exploring.
