Céimí de chuid Choláiste na Tríonóide, Baile Átha Cliath agus Coláiste na hEorpa, Bruges, thosaigh sí ag obair sa Bhruiséil le Europolitics agus leis an Wall Street Journal Europe. D'oibrigh sí le Cumann na bParlaiminteoirí Eorpacha leis an Afraic (AWEPA) san Afraic Theas le linn aistriú na tíre chuig an daonlathas, agus i 1998 ghlac sí le post urlabhraí le Toscaireacht an Aontais Eorpaigh i Pretoria, agus í i gceannas ar a rannóg preasa agus faisnéise le linn chaibidlíocht an chomhaontaithe saorthrádála idir an tAontas Eorpach agus an Afraic Theas. Tar éis dheireadh Chogadh na Cosaive, d'oibrigh sí mar chomhairleoir cumarsáide don Ghníomhaireacht Eorpach um Atógáil sa tSeirbia.

Is bainisteoir taighde sinsearach í Agnès Parent-Thirion in aonad an tSaoil Oibre ag Eurofound, a bhfuil sé de chúram uirthi tionscadail taighde ar choinníollacha oibre a phleanáil, a fhorbairt agus a chur i bhfeidhm, go háirithe an Suirbhé Eorpach ar Dhálaí Oibre (EWCS) agus a chuid anailísí. Tá sí freagrach as eagrán urghnách EWCS 2021 agus as ullmhú an cheistneora do EWCS 2024. I measc a cuid spéiseanna taighde tá coinníollacha oibre, cáilíocht an phoist, monatóireacht a dhéanamh ar choinníollacha oibre, eagrú oibre, inscne, todhchaí na hoibre agus ama. Tá sí ag obair i réimse na suirbhéanna comparáideacha Eorpacha le breis agus deich mbliana, i ngach gné lena n-áirítear dearadh, forbairt ceistneoirí, obair allamuigh, rialú cáilíochta agus anailís. Is céimí í san eacnamaíocht agus sa bhainistíocht ó ollscoileanna Paris IX, Dauphine agus Paris I Panthéon Sorbonne agus tá Dioplóma Iarchéime sa Staitisticí aici ó Choláiste na Tríonóide, Baile Átha Cliath.
