We are now looking for a Payroll Associate who wants to combine daily operations with working towards increased digitalization and efficiency. You will become part of an engaged Payroll team responsible for the payrolls of our Swedish companies.

• Manage absence, parental leave, and time-reported events.
• Ensure that our processes are followed and maintain high quality.
• Contribute to improvement work and the development of our payroll systems and ways of working.
• Work towards smoother collaboration between payroll, HR, and finance.

• Have experience with systems such as Medvind, HRM, or similar.
• Have worked with different collective agreements, for example, the Paper industry agreement.
• Have experience driving initiatives related to system support in payroll, HR, finance, or similar.

Personal Attributes

We place great importance on your personality. To thrive in the role, we believe you are an engaged and results-oriented person who takes responsibility for your work and drives it forward with high quality. You are curious with a proactive attitude and a desire to develop and learn new things.

You enjoy collaborating with others and contribute to the team's common results through an unpretentious and positive approach to work. At the same time, you are confident in yourself and your abilities, have high integrity, and act responsibly in a job where structure, regulations, and precision are of great importance. You also have a strong interest in systems and a good ability to quickly familiarize yourself with new ways of working and IT systems.

Our values are important to us, and we believe that you, as an applicant, identify with our values: Care for each other and we keep our promises.
