Company mission
We want to grow the restaurant industry by giving hospitality businesses the tools to take control of their operations and win with more sustainable and profitable business models.
Role
Who you are
- 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
What the job involves
- 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
- 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
Our take
Nory’s AI and automation software allows restaurants to more easily take control of common pain points like inventory, staffing, and marketing, all on one platform. With thin margins, stretched teams and high levels of waste, Nory was founded by a seasoned restaurant founder and scaler, who knows all too well how juggling "market-leading" systems can become a headache for restaurant managers. Indeed, he even built an early version of Nory for his own restaurant.
What makes Nory a particularly interesting prospect is the value that it can offer multi-site restaurants or chains, given its ability to collect data on each location at once. It melds real-time data with AI predictive analytics so that operators can regain control of their profit. It’s this certainty of purpose and value that’s helped Nory get off to a flying start, securing a rapidly growing customer base including Stonegate Pubs, Dr Juice and Viva Italia.
Having raised a significant amount of capital, most recently in a May 2025 Series B round, Nory has grown its team and expanded from Ireland and the UK into Spain as well. It's using its funding to expand into the US, hire data scientists and accelerate its product development. As the hospitality industry struggles with high costs and low margins, Nory's solution will be increasingly essential for restaurants seeking to optimise their operations and turn a profit.
