Role Overview

Reap is scaling rapidly, and our People team is at the core of that growth. We believe building a strong, connected, and engaged team is key to our success. As we grow in complexity and size, we’re looking for a People Operations Partner to join us and help knit together the various parts of our HR function, from strategy to day-to-day operations.

This role is based in Ireland, with a global remit from day one. You’ll support initiatives across multiple regions, working hand-in-hand with our People Operations Lead and collaborating with specialists in Onboarding, Talent Acquisition, Compensation & Benefits, and Learning & Engagement. Over time, you’ll also grow into taking greater ownership of Ireland and EU region/ overlapping region specific support, including employment law and regulatory compliance.

You’ll be the trusted go-to person across functions — someone who can spot what’s needed and step in without hesitation.

As Reap grows, this role will expand in scope and evolve with the company. That’s why we need someone who thrives in change, embraces ambiguity, and is driven to make a meaningful impact.

Operational & Ad-Hoc HR

• Act as the local HR point of contact for employees and managers in Ireland.
• Partner with Talent Acquisition to to run end-to-end hiring for select roles across Ireland, Europe and more, ensuring compliant practices.

We’re Looking for Someone With

• A business and people-first mindset. You understand company strategy and translate it into people actions.
• Strong project management skills. You can scope, prioritize, and drive people initiatives to completion.
• Proven ability to influence and coach individuals on performance, development, and team dynamics.
• Solid understanding of employee relations, performance, engagement, and change management.
• Comfort working with HRIS and people data; you can extract insights and build dashboards that inform decision-making.
• Excellent written and verbal communication — clear, concise, and audience-aware.
• Ability to work autonomously in a remote-first setting, manage shifting priorities, and proactively pick up what’s needed.
• High integrity and sound judgment. People trust you, and you handle sensitive matters with care and confidentiality.
• Must have knowledge in Fitness and Probity (F&P) Regime and the Individual Accountability Framework (IAF), including SEAR, and how they impact people practices in regulated financial services.
• Familiarity with employment law in Ireland and the EU, including contracts, statutory and Fintech standard benefits, leave entitlements and termination procedures.
• Ability to navigate compliance requirements and ensure alignment with Central Bank of Ireland regulations within the broader context of global People Operations.

Need to Know

This role begins with a global focus — supporting people operations, engagement, and performance initiatives across all regions. At the same time, it requires a strong foundation in Irish and EU employment law and regulatory frameworks. Over time, you’ll take on increasing responsibility for ensuring compliance and people support across Ireland and the wider EU region, while balancing consistency with Reap’s global People practices.

As Reap continues to scale and take on new challenges, this role will evolve in scope — making adaptability and a growth mindset essential.
