Your main responsibilities will include:

• Providing advice and support to managers and HR colleagues on labor law issues.
• Guiding managers and HR colleagues on our central and local collective agreements.
• Continuously monitoring current legislation and practice in the field.
• Promoting a uniform interpretation and application of labor law and collective agreements within the agency.
• Working to increase knowledge and capacity within the organization to handle labor law and collective agreements in a uniform and correct manner.

• Investigating and following up on labor law substantive issues.
• Working continuously on assigned negotiations and discussions on behalf of the negotiation manager.
• Conducting various types of investigations.

• Experience working systematically and structurally with knowledge-raising initiatives.
• Experience conducting investigations in labor law substantive issues.
• Good communication skills in Swedish, both verbal and written.

To succeed in this role, you must have the ability to look beyond the immediate details, see the bigger picture, and consider the broader perspective, with the best interests of the entire operation as the starting point for your actions and decisions. You work systematically, have good judgment, and the ability to weigh together complex information with various considerations. This ability guides your statements, actions, and decisions. You adapt easily to changed circumstances and see opportunities in change. Your flexibility and problem-solving skills allow you to quickly change your approach and adapt to the current situation. You are challenged and driven by learning new things and improving and developing everything from work methods, documents, and processes to collective agreements and labor market structures.

As a person, you are secure, stable, and have good self-awareness. You stand firm in your HR competence combined with a professional and pedagogical approach, contributing with high engagement in driving issues forward. You enjoy working both independently and together with colleagues to achieve the goal of equal, legally secure, and efficient HR support.

Your ability to communicate clearly and constructively makes you a valuable collaboration partner. To develop in the role, you continuously maintain your specialist competence and serve as a knowledge resource for others. We place great emphasis on personal qualities.
