Do you want to strengthen Eslöv Municipality's employer policy and contribute to a professional, legally secure, and cohesive HR function?

We are looking for an experienced HR strategist with a clear specialist profile in labor law and negotiation. The role is central to the municipality's application of laws, agreements, and employer strategic issues, and you will be an important support to both managers, HR partners, and trade unions.

This is the position for you who are confident in your labor law expertise and thrive in a role with significant responsibility, complex issues, and many points of contact. You combine legal sharpness with a stable, attentive, and trust-building way of working.

Your Mission

As an HR strategist in labor law and negotiation, you have a municipality-wide responsibility for several of our most significant employer processes. You work both strategically and operationally and collaborate closely with HR partners, trade unions, and managers at all levels.

Your mission includes:

• driving and coordinating the municipality's salary review process – from analysis to follow-up

You have the ability to keep focus on the issue and allow the dialogue to continue moving forward even when the pace is high or when different interpretations and perspectives arise. At the same time, you work independently and take responsibility for driving matters to conclusion, but you are happy to discuss ideas and build common working methods with colleagues when it enhances quality.
