Senior Human Resources Business Partner

The Opportunity

Join a team where passion meets performance and your contributions make a real impact. Our People team has been in the top 5 of Great Place to Work (GPTW) Ireland for the last 6 years, and we are recognised as a Great Place to Work for Tech, for Women and for Wellbeing, as well as a Great Place to Work in Europe. We care about creating a culture where people and the business both thrive, and you will play a big part in helping us keep raising the bar.

This role is a great mix of HR Business Partnering and Centre of Excellence (COE) work: you will be a hands-on HR Business Partner to your Belfast-based businesses and selected Dublin managers, and you will also own COE work that shapes the employee experience across Distilled.

This is a fast paced role for a Senior HR Business Partner who wants to make a real impact in a best in class team. You will have proven experience in a fast paced tech company, with end-to-end ownership of key people projects, and the drive to hold our managers to a high standard.

AI is a way of working in our HR team. We use it every day to work smarter and faster, and you will be encouraged to embrace it and find new ways to apply it in your work. You will thrive on innovation and embrace cutting edge HR practices. Your ideas and creativity will help shape the future of our dynamic tech organisation.
