Let’s fix hospitality, for good.

Hospitality is tough – margins are thin, waste is high, and teams are stretched. But it doesn’t have to be this hard. That’s why we built Nory.

Our CEO, Conor, felt the pain first-hand scaling Mad Egg. Fed up with clunky systems and spreadsheets, he built the tool he wished he’d had from day one.

Nory blends real-time data with AI to give operators full control of their margins. From prep to forecasting, it’s operational intelligence that helps restaurants run with certainty and profit. The result? Thriving restaurants, better jobs, less waste, healthier margins.

And we’re just getting started. Fresh off a Series B led by Kinnevik, we’re 70+ people across Ireland, the UK and Spain – and about to expand into the US.

We’re looking for a hands-on Head of People (starting Nov/Dec 2025, finishing mid January 2027) to keep our crew flying through this next stage of growth.

What you’ll do

This is a senior leadership role partnering directly with our Founder and SLT. You’ll be the cultural and operational anchor – balancing day-to-day with the big shifts that come post-Series B: scaling, performance, culture.

• Partner with leaders and managers – pragmatic advice, no fluff. Coach managers to lead with impact.

• Lead and support our Talent & People Partner. Oversee hiring across all functions – fast, precise, high quality.

• Work closely with the CEO and SLT to drive strategic People priorities: from org design and internal comms to international expansion.

• Own the full employee lifecycle – onboarding to exits – keeping performance and engagement high.

• Protect and grow our high-performance culture – outcomes clear, accountability strong, values lived.

What you bring

• You’ve led People in a startup or scale-up and know what it takes to build structure without slowing things down.

• You love building high-performance teams and you’ve got the scars (and wins) from doing it at pace.

• You’re a true partner to founders and execs, able to challenge, influence and move things forward fast.

• You’ve done international expansion before – and know how to make new markets click, culturally and operationally.

• You’re AI-native – you don’t just tolerate new tools, you grab them to supercharge how we hire, onboard and scale.

• You bring calm in the chaos – pragmatic, decisive, and clear under pressure.

• You’re organised and resilient, but never rigid – you flex as things shift, keeping an eye on both today’s fires and tomorrow’s growth.

Above all, you bring energy, urgency and ownership – the drive to keep Nory scaling fast without losing focus or culture.

How we work

Our vision is to build a better future for the restaurant industry.

One where operators are in control, margins are stronger, and frontline teams can build careers they’re proud of. To get there, we move fast, stay focused, and hold ourselves to a high bar. Our values guide how we work, grow, and win – together.

These are the values we live by:

• We serve up impact with a side of profit: We prioritise work that delivers real financial results for our restaurant partners.

• We prioritise speed of service: We move fast, unblock quickly, and deliver with urgency.

• We act like owners: We own problems, raise the bar, and build better every day.

• We win as a crew: We grow stronger through feedback, collaboration, and shared wins.

We hire humans.

At Nory, we believe that diverse teams build better products. We welcome applicants from all backgrounds, identities, and walks of life. We do not discriminate based on gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, religion, family status, age, disability, or race. What matters to us is how you think, how you work, and what you bring to the table. Please let us know if you require any adjustments so you can bring your best self to the interview process.
