What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a strategic HR business partner role where I can align people strategy to growth and transformation, use workforce planning and people analytics, and build high-performance, inclusive cultures across global teams.

I’m a Strategic HR Business Partner with experience across cloud-native SaaS (Kubernetes), global semiconductor (Analog Devices), and IT services environments. I partner with senior leaders to align people strategy with business growth and transformation, using workforce planning, organisational design, performance management cycles, and talent reviews to drive measurable outcomes. I’m also CIPD accredited through an MSC in Human Resource Management (NFQ Level 9), bringing a strong evidence-based approach to HR and compliance.

In recent roles, I’ve supported regulated accounting and financial operations in Ireland, strengthening compliance, data accuracy, payroll coordination, and governance standards. I led a 50%+ workforce expansion through structured workforce planning and talent strategy, managed end-to-end performance and calibration cycles, and improved leadership performance visibility by 60% via OKRs. I’ve scaled HR functions in multiple startups, strengthened engagement through survey analytics and targeted action plans, and provided executive coaching to Product and Engineering leaders—building high-performance, inclusive cultures even in matrixed, global teams.
