About Brightbeam
We are on a mission to be the most helpful company in the world. Brightbeam is a fast-growing AI professional services company making AI Second Nature - integrating digital intelligence with humanity for organisations across multiple sectors. We are remote-first, with teams across Ireland, the UK, the US, and Europe. We’re a 50+ person team scaling toward 200+ over the next two years.
About the role
This is a rare opportunity to define what a Head of People role looks like in the AI era. This role is part of our Senior Leadership Team and reports directly to the CEO. You will build people systems for a company where every role is being reimagined by AI and the traditional HR playbook does not apply. The focus is 80% coaching, L&D, and retention — 20% hard HR. You will enable managers, design learning programmes, build performance systems, and guide the organisation through continuous change. This is a hands-on role: at 50 people, you are the team.
What you will deliver in the first 12 months
What we are looking for
We will assess six core competencies: coaching and L&D capability, transformation leadership, scaling-point experience, organisational design, cultural stewardship, and AI-era people expertise. In practical terms, we are looking for someone who:
This role is for you if want to write the book on what a Head of People does in the AI era. You find the blank canvas exciting. You get stuck in and build from scratch. You’ve built people systems at scaling companies and want to build again. You thrive in chaos, prioritise friction removal over perks, and bring calm confidence to grey areas.
This role is probably not for you if your experience is primarily in large, established organisations. Your strength is in hard HR rather than people development. You need structure and predictability. Your transformation experience is theoretical. You’ve moved past getting into the weeds. You see AI as just a tool.
