About KTH's Operational Support

Job Responsibilities

We are now looking for a temporary HR generalist to join us in the HR department at KTH. As an HR generalist with us, you will be a close HR support for managers and employees at Campus Valhallavägen. With us, you will have a broad and varied role with the opportunity to develop and take responsibility, both through strategic and operational work. You will be the first point of contact for managers regarding HR-related needs and questions, where you will contribute with strategic advice and qualitative consultative support. If necessary, you can seek support from one of our HR specialists who work in their respective areas of expertise. In your work, you will always have a close connection to labor law for state operations, laws, and internal rules and guidelines at KTH, using this as a tool and guide in your daily work. As an HR generalist, you will support by being present in meetings at various levels and participate in meetings for collaboration with union representatives. You will also support in rehabilitation cases and other personnel matters and have a coordinating, operational, and information-distributing role in matters such as salary reviews, employee conversations, employee surveys, safety rounds, or other current issues within the personnel area. You will capture the managers' need for support through regular check-ins. The role also includes some recruitment where you will play a central role in parts of the recruitment process, such as initiating and discussing the requirements profile, participating in and conducting interviews using a competency-based method. You will also help develop managers by conducting manager introductions and continuously capturing the need for leadership development. In your role, you will also perform administrative tasks within the HR area. KTH's HR department has recently undergone a reorganization and is now working to develop processes and working methods. You will be a part of this development work.

About the Department/Group

With us, you will become part of an experienced and cohesive team of HR generalists and HR administrators who together provide important support for KTH's core operations. We work closely together in our daily tasks and collaborate closely with other parts of the HR department and other functions within the university. The work environment is characterized by openness, trust, and a willingness to help each other. We share knowledge, support each other in complex matters, and develop common working methods to ensure professional and qualitative HR support. As a colleague with us, you will meet a humble and solution-oriented team where we enjoy working together, appreciate dialogue, and value the opportunity to develop, both individually and as a group.
