About the role

  • Partner with leaders and managers – pragmatic advice, no fluff. Coach managers to lead with impact.
  • Lead and support our Talent & People Partner. Oversee hiring across all functions – fast, precise, high quality.
  • Work closely with the CEO and SLT to drive strategic People priorities: from org design and internal comms to international expansion.
  • Own the full employee lifecycle – onboarding to exits – keeping performance and engagement high.
  • Protect and grow our high-performance culture – outcomes clear, accountability strong, values lived.

Requirements

  • You’ve led People in a startup or scale-up and know what it takes to build structure without slowing things down.
  • You love building high-performance teams and you’ve got the scars (and wins) from doing it at pace.
  • You’re a true partner to founders and execs, able to challenge, influence and move things forward fast.
  • You’ve done international expansion before – and know how to make new markets click, culturally and operationally.
  • You’re AI-native – you don’t just tolerate new tools, you grab them to supercharge how we hire, onboard and scale.
  • You bring calm in the chaos – pragmatic, decisive, and clear under pressure.
  • You’re organised and resilient, but never rigid – you flex as things shift, keeping an eye on both today’s fires and tomorrow’s growth.
  • Above all, you bring energy, urgency and ownership – the drive to keep Nory scaling fast without losing focus or culture.

Benefits

  • Meaningful equity, at Nory everyone is an owner!
  • 35 days of paid leave per year (including bank holidays)
  • Comprehensive private health insurance via Irish Life (Ireland) and Axa (UK)
  • Enhanced parental leave and baby loss support
  • Learning & development culture – €1000 personal annual budget + quarterly book budget
  • €250 home office workspace budget
  • Regular team offsites & socials
  • Hybrid working with 2 days per week from either of our offices in London (LABS House, 15-19 Bloomsbury Way) or Dublin (Dogpatch Labs, The Chq Building, Custom House Quay, North Wall)
