• Providing qualified support in labor law matters, union collaboration, negotiations, and other employee-related cases
• Using data, analysis, and business insights to identify priorities and proactively work on solutions that strengthen the business
• Independently driving initiatives that strengthen the organization's ability to meet both today's and tomorrow's challenges
• Contributing to joint projects within the People function and being involved in the company's broader People agenda

You will become part of an engaged People function where we work closely with each other and the business to create value, develop our managers and employees, and continue to be a valued strategic partner to the business.

We are looking for someone who:

• Has an academic degree in Human Resources, Economics, Behavioral Science, or equivalent
• Has previous experience as a People Business Partner, HR Business Partner, or a similar role with both operational and strategic responsibilities
• Has experience supporting managers and leadership teams in complex and business-close environments
• Is confident in labor law, union collaboration, and negotiations, and can independently provide managers with support in qualified employee cases
• Has a good understanding of People processes and how they can be used to create value for both employees and the business
• Is a proactive change leader who dares to challenge established ways of working while building trust
• Works in a structured, data-driven, and analytical manner, focusing on creating results that make a difference
• Thrives on switching between operational issues and long-term strategic initiatives with a holistic view of organizational development

At OKQ8, you will work in a flexible environment with important and varied tasks. We encourage collaboration, innovation, and development – and we believe that together we make each other better.
