Director of People & Culture | Dublin | Full-time, with part-time arrangements considered
EPIC Group brings together EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum, The CHQ Building and The Pierhead Barbados, a diverse group of cultural, commercial, heritage and destination-led businesses and projects.
The Group currently employs around 80 people and, as our businesses and projects continue to develop, we are entering a significant period of growth, with our workforce expected to increase to approximately 150 people over the next 12 to 18 months.
We are looking for an experienced Director of People & Culture to join our Senior Management Team and lead the Group's people agenda as our businesses continue to develop and grow.
About the Role
This is a senior leadership role, but a highly visible and practical one. We want someone who will get to know our businesses, our managers and our people, understand how our teams operate and bring a strong people and organisational perspective to how the Group operates and grows.
Working closely with the CEO and senior leadership team, you will lead the Group’s approach to people strategy, organisation design, workforce planning, culture and leadership capability, employee relations, reward and people insight. You will also lead the People & Culture team, ensuring the function provides a responsive, practical and high-quality shared service across the Group.
