About Us
Positive Carbon is a high-growth, venture-backed technology company on a mission to eliminate food waste. We are scaling our team in Ireland and internationally, and we need a pragmatic, hands-on HR Manager to build our HR function from the ground up, ensuring we are compliant, efficient, and a great place to work.

The Role
This is a foundational role. You will be our first dedicated HR hire, responsible for building the essential systems and processes for a scaling international team. Your initial focus will be on compliance, contracts, and onboarding, ensuring we have a solid foundation to grow.

Tasks

Key Responsibilities

Compliance: Own all HR compliance. Review and update all employment contracts and the company handbook to ensure they are fully compliant with Irish (and UK) employment law.
Onboarding: Design and manage a best-in-class onboarding process for all new hires, ensuring a seamless experience from “offer accepted” to their 90-day review.
HR Administration: Act as the first point of contact for all HR queries. Manage all employee documentation, leave policies, and HR systems.
Recruitment Support: Partner with the leadership team to support recruitment, from drafting job specs to issuing contracts.
Culture & Performance: As the company grows, you will help us roll out performance review cycles and initiatives that support our culture.

Requirements

Who You Are

Experienced HR Generalist: You have 5+ years of hands-on HR experience, ideally in a generalist or manager role.
Startup DNA: You have worked in a fast-paced tech startup or scale-up before. You know how to build from scratch and are comfortable with ambiguity.
Autonomous: You are a true self-starter. You can take a high-level goal (e.g., “make us compliant”) and execute it independently.
Pragmatic: You build processes that are “just right” for our stage—efficient and effective without unnecessary bureaucracy.
