ENGAGEMENT LEAD – MANUFACTURING
PERMANENT/FULL-TIME
SALARY RANGE FLEXIBLE, DOE
IRELAND / REMOTE-FIRST – REGULAR CLIENT TRAVEL DUBLIN, GALWAY, CORK, WATERFORD
We are looking for a Manufacturing Engagement Lead who will be Brightbeam's credibility anchor in the sector. Not a generalist. Not a pure business development hire. Someone who has spent real time inside manufacturing – on the shop floor, in the maintenance function, in the CI programme – and is now ready to use that knowledge to help manufacturing clients transform with AI. If you can walk into a plant, establish credibility with an engineering director within an hour, and shape an AI engagement from operational insight rather than slide decks, this role is for you.
You will run discovery and scoping with manufacturing clients, build and grow a pipeline of accounts across Ireland, and transfer deep sector context across the Brightbeam team – upskilling engineers and Solutions Directors on the language and norms of manufacturing operations.
Key requirements:
Deep manufacturing domain expertise – mechanical, electrical, or process engineering background, or significant operational experience in a manufacturing environment
Lean Six Sigma Green or Black Belt, or equivalent process improvement background – desirable but not essential
Consultative instincts – able to shape engagements from operational insight, not just manage relationships
Ireland-based with full site mobility; own transport required
Hands-on practitioner mindset – you have done the work yourself, not just managed people who did it
What we offer:
A genuinely mission-motivated company – we believe AI should create meaningful work, not just cut headcount
A four-day working week and fully remote working
A fast-scaling environment where your contribution is visible and valued
The chance to build the manufacturing practice at a company scaling from 50 to 200+
Work at the frontier of AI adoption in manufacturing – you will see transformation happen in real time

EXECUTIVE ASSISTANT
PERMANENT/FULL-TIME
MARKET-RATE, DOE
FULLY REMOTE – IRELAND BASED
We are looking for an Executive Assistant who is as excited about AI as they are about operational excellence. This is not a traditional operational role – you will own end-to-end projects, represent the executive team in high-stakes external communications, and be the person inside Brightbeam who is constantly asking: could AI do this better? If you have built automations, transformed your own workflows with AI tools, and thrive in the sort of fast-moving environment where no two days look the same, we want to hear from you.
You will manage complex multi-timezone calendars, coordinate trade missions and customer events, and keep the CEO and senior executive team moving at pace. The role demands someone who spots problems before they surface, acts without being asked, and brings calm clarity to multiple urgent demands.
Key requirements:
5+ years as an Executive Assistant or equivalent senior EA role
Experience working with multiple senior figures simultaneously at director or C-suite level
Demonstrated, consistent use of AI tools in your professional work – with specific examples of how AI has improved your efficiency or output quality
History of working on your own initiative with full accountability – not embedded in a large PA/EA team
Strong self-motivation for remote working
Exceptional attention to detail in all written communications
Complex travel and logistics crisis management at executive level
Experience in a fast-paced startup or high-growth environment
You have built or implemented at least one meaningful AI-powered automation in your work
You present options to executives rather than making choices on their behalf
You craft every external communication to fit the stakeholder context
You are direct enough to chase senior people and flag when something is not working
What we offer:
Remote-first working with regular team days in Dublin and Waterford
Direct partnership with the CEO and senior management
A role that goes well beyond traditional EA into AI-powered operations and business impact
Access to top AI tools including Claude as part of your daily toolkit
A fast-growing company at the forefront of AI adoption
A culture built on high performance, fairness, and continuous improvement
Compensation package negotiable and to be discussed at initial screening
Our hiring process:
First round screening interview (45 mins), followed by a second round with two members of senior management (60 min take-home exercise before interview + 45 min discussion), final discussion with CEO (60 mins), and structured references.
How to apply:
Submit your details via https://http---hbossbrightbeam.com/apply and include your CV with a brief cover note explaining why this role interests you, what you would bring to Brightbeam, and one specific example of how you have used AI tools to improve your work. Quality over length.

IRELAND / REMOTE-FIRST - REGULAR CLIENT TRAVEL DUBLIN, GALWAY, CORK, WATERFORD
We are looking for an engineer with genuine AI curiosity who wants to work at the intersection of technical delivery and client problem-solving. As a Forward Deployed Engineer at Brightbeam, you will participate in discovery sessions, build functional prototypes that answer real questions, and develop the skills to own client technical relationships over time.

3+ years in technical roles with some client-facing exposure

Sufficient engineering capability to build functional prototypes without supervision
Genuine curiosity about AI with evidence of practical experimentation

HEAD OF PEOPLE
PERMANENT/FULL-TIME
€100,000 - €120,000
IRELAND-BASED, REMOTE – MONTHLY TEAM MEETINGS DUBLIN/WATERFORD
This is a rare opportunity to define what a Head of People role looks like in the AI era. At Brightbeam, every role is being reimagined by AI – and that includes this one. You will join our Senior Management Team, report directly to the CEO, and build people systems for a company where the traditional HR playbook simply does not apply. The focus is 80% coaching, L&D, and retention – 20% hard HR. At 50 people, you are the team.
You will equip managers, design learning programmes, build performance systems, and drive the organisation through continuous transformation. If you have built people infrastructure at a scaling services company before and want to build again – from scratch, at speed, in an environment where AI is reshaping what every role means – this is the role for you.
What you will deliver in the first 12 months:
An onboarding system where new hires grasp how Brightbeam works – including how AI shapes the way we operate
AI-augmented role definitions and career paths for every role, with people equipped for the transition
A lightweight performance system focused on development, clear indicators, and firm action on underperformance
A retention strategy where people become more valuable the longer they stay – targeting retention of high performers
Cross-functional infrastructure that maintains 'one Brightbeam' while scaling from 50 to 200+
Key requirements:
Deep expertise in coaching, L&D, and manager enablement – you work through managers, not around them. L&D background strongly preferred
Has personally managed transformation where roles fundamentally changed – not just participated in one, and not just digitised
Has built people infrastructure during scaling (50-200 people), ideally in a services business
Designs lightweight processes that create clarity without bureaucracy
Naturally aligns with our cultural mantras: outcome-focused, deliberately fair, continuous improvement, and showing not telling
Uses AI daily and sees their own role as being transformed by it
Personable, direct, and genuinely invested in people – prioritises coaching and retention above all else
This role is for you if:
You 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 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. You have moved past getting into the weeds. You see AI as just a tool.
How to apply:
Submit your details via https://http---hbossbrightbeam.com/apply and include your CV with a brief cover note on why this role interests you and what you would bring to Brightbeam. Quality over length.

IRELAND / REMOTE-FIRST – REGULAR CLIENT TRAVEL DUBLIN, GALWAY, CORK, WATERFORD
We are looking for a Senior Digital Intelligence Engineer who sits at the junction of serious data science and production engineering.

PERMANENT/FULL-TIME
€130,000 - €160,000
IRELAND / REMOTE-FIRST – REGULAR CLIENT TRAVEL DUBLIN, GALWAY, CORK, WATERFORD

You work in close partnership with a Solution Director – Technical Solutions counterpart who provides architectural direction – jointly you provide complete account management.
This role was created because overloading a single person with both technical architecture and account management limits the candidate pool and produces mediocre outcomes on both fronts. The split is deliberate. Your focus is the relationship, the delivery, and the growth of the account.

Significant experience in account management, delivery oversight, or client engagement in professional services, consulting, or systems integration
Proven track record managing senior enterprise client relationships

We are looking for a technical authority who can oversee architecture across Brightbeam's project portfolio, translate complex technical judgements for enterprise stakeholders, and build the engineering capability of the teams around them. As Solution Director – Technical Solutions, you will work in close partnership with a Solution Director – Delivery and Engagement counterpart who owns the client relationship and commercial engagement - leaving you free to focus entirely on architectural coherence and technical excellence.
This role was created deliberately: combining technical solution architecture with account management in a single person limits both the quality of the architecture and the depth of the client relationship. At Brightbeam, we have split the role so both tracks can be done properly.
Key requirements:
Significant experience in senior technical roles with solution architecture oversight and multi-project management
Minimum 3 years writing production code – non-negotiable for technical credibility
Proven enterprise architecture capability across compliance, security, data governance, and legacy integration
