Top Companies Hiring for Operations Jobs in Dublin (Oct 2026)

You want an operations job in Dublin and you're tired of applying blind. As of 14 October 2026, the JobRise live jobs feed shows 24 open Operations jobs in Dublin, and 22 of those listings went up in the last 30 days, with 15 in the last 7 days alone.

That's a fast-moving slice. Fresh listings mean employers are actively hiring right now rather than sitting on stale adverts that nobody has looked at in months. The ranking below will shift within weeks, so treat every number here as a dated snapshot and recheck the feed before you send anything.

The companies with the most open operations listings#

Here's the ranking by number of open listings in this slice, with names exactly as they appear on the adverts. Some of these are recruiters or staffing firms rather than the end employer, so read the listing text carefully.

• Stripe: 6 open listings
• Charlotte Tilbury: 2
• Trinny London: 2
• Designer Group: 2
• Indra Group UK & Ireland: 2
• Stranger Soccer: 1
• Mongodb: 1
• Winthrop Technologies: 1
• Culligan Ireland: 1
• Clinigen: 1

The titles tell you what kind of work is actually on offer. Charlotte Tilbury has "Beauty Expert - Arnotts Dublin". Trinny London lists "Makeup Artist - Part Time - 24 Hours" and "Makeup Artist - Part Time - 16 Hours". Designer Group is hiring "Senior Electrical Engineer" and "BIM Coordinator". Winthrop Technologies wants a "Commissioning Administrator", Mongodb a "Senior Program Manager", and Stranger Soccer a "License Owner & Operator, Dublin".

Two things jump out. First, the roles are mixed: retail beauty, engineering and construction, sports operations, and tech program management all sit in the same slice, which tells you the label "operations" covers a lot of ground in Dublin. Second, none of the 24 listings shows a salary, so you will have to ask.

Stripe alone holds a quarter of the slice. That concentration matters, because one company's hiring cycle can move the whole ranking.

How Dublin compares with the rest of Ireland#

Dublin is where the concentration is, and it isn't close. The JobRise Hiring Report: Ireland shows 55 Operations jobs listings across the whole country on the same date, and 24 of those sit in Dublin, so the capital holds well over a third of Ireland's operations openings in this feed.

Wider context: Dublin has 274 open listings across all categories. Operations is a real slice of that, but it is not the whole market, so keep adjacent searches open.

One blunt reality check. 0 of the 24 listings in this slice carry entry-level titles like intern, graduate, junior, or trainee, which means early-career candidates need to sell transferable experience or aim slightly outside the strict "operations" label. That's the catch. Apply anyway.

How to target each type of employer#

Corporate and tech employers, such as Stripe and Mongodb, run structured hiring with several interview rounds and a strong preference for examples backed by numbers. Tailor your CV to the job description's own words, and for the "Senior Program Manager" role at Mongodb be ready to walk through a programme you ran end to end with dates, budget, and outcome.

Engineering and contracting firms, such as Designer Group, Winthrop Technologies, and Indra Group UK & Ireland, care about tickets, standards, and project evidence above almost everything else. Put your certifications and site experience near the top of the CV, because a "BIM Coordinator" or "Commissioning Administrator" application lives or dies on specific tools and processes.

Retail and beauty brands, such as Charlotte Tilbury and Trinny London, hire for client-facing craft and they hire for reliability. Availability matters as much as skill, so for the part-time makeup artist roles state your exact weekly hours and weekend availability in the first line of your cover note.

Owner-operator and niche roles, like "License Owner & Operator, Dublin" at Stranger Soccer, are closer to a partnership than a job. Read the listing twice and ask direct questions about revenue, fees, and contract terms before you invest time. Treat it like a business conversation.

Outreach and referral scripts#

Warm referrals beat cold applications almost every time. Before you ask anyone for a referral, use the free company insights tool to get a feel for how a company hires and what its teams look like, so your message sounds informed rather than generic.

Referral script to a connection:

"Hi [Name], hope you are well. I am applying for the [exact title] role at [company] and noticed your team is there. Would you be comfortable referring me internally? I have attached my CV and a short note on why I am a fit. No problem at all if not, and thanks either way."

Cold message to a hiring manager or recruiter:

"Hi [Name], I saw the [exact title] listing at [company] on JobRise and wanted to introduce myself directly. I have [X years] in [relevant area], most recently [one concrete result with a number]. I have applied through the listing and would welcome a short call. Are you free for 15 minutes this week?"

Keep both under 100 words. Send them Tuesday to Thursday morning, and follow up once after five working days. Then stop.

A worked example: rewriting your CV bullet#

Weak: "Responsible for coordinating daily operations and supporting the team."

Stronger: "Coordinated daily operations for a 12-person site team, cutting supplier delivery delays from an average of 6 days to 3 by renegotiating two key contracts."

The second version names the scope, the action, and the result in one line, and it survives a recruiter skimming for 6 seconds before deciding whether to read on. Do this for every role you have held, and use the same language as the advert where it is honest to do so.

Your 7-step plan#

1. Pull the live list. Open the Operations jobs in Dublin feed and write down every title, company, and date posted. Sort by newest first.

2. Rank by fit, not by prestige. Score each role out of 5 against your actual experience before you spend an hour on an application.

3. Tailor one CV per role type. Keep a tech-ops version, an engineering version, and a client-facing version ready to adapt.

4. Find two contacts per target company. Look for someone on the team and someone in talent. Send the scripts above.

5. Prepare the salary question. No listing in this slice shows pay, so ask early: "Could you share the salary range for this role before we go further?" Typical reported ranges for operations roles in Ireland vary widely by seniority and sector, so verify current figures on official sources before you negotiate.

6. Track everything. A simple spreadsheet with company, role, date applied, contact, and last follow-up is enough. Recheck the feed weekly because 15 listings appeared in the last 7 days.

7. Follow up and move on. One polite nudge after five working days, then let it go. Volume with focus beats perfection on a single application.
