Vacant job

We are not looking for a "classic" HRBP, but a true Business Partner!

Are you an experienced HR Business Partner who wants to combine strategic work with operational execution in a business-close environment?

You see HR as a strategic enabler for business development and are driven by turning business goals into concrete HR initiatives that create results. For you, the role is not just about supporting managers – but about actively contributing to business development by understanding the business, challenging the operations, and making well-founded decisions based on data.

Do you want to work close to the operations in a role where you both influence the business and make a real difference for people? Do you want to be a key player in an organization with clear direction, strong growth, and high ambitions? Then this could be your next step!

In this role, you are employed by Saint-Gobain Distribution Sweden AB (SGDS), but you will serve as the HRBP for Optimera Svenska AB.

The Role of HRBP

This is a broad and business-close HR role where you work close to the operations and act as a strategic partner to the managers. You contribute an HR perspective that strengthens both the organization and the business, becoming part of an engaged HR team supporting a business with over 800 employees and 85 managers.

You are responsible for three of Optimera Svenska AB's six regions and combine strategic and operational HR work. The role involves supporting managers in their daily work, driving development and change, and translating business goals into value-creating HR initiatives.

An important part of the assignment is also to develop our data-driven HR work. You will help build working methods, analyses, and decision support by using HR data and key figures to identify trends and contribute to business decisions that strengthen both the business and our employees.

Some of your most important tasks:

• Drive and follow up on HR processes according to the annual calendar – from Performance Management to salary reviews.
• Act as a close and business-close support to managers in matters concerning labor law, working environment, rehabilitation, organization, and leadership.
• Produce and analyze HR and business data to identify trends, create decision support, and contribute to business development.
• Challenge and support managers in making data-driven decisions that develop both people and the business.
• Ensure that laws, guidelines, and policies are followed throughout the organization.
• Support and develop managers through inductions, training, and ongoing coaching.
• Drive and participate in change initiatives and group-wide HR projects.
• Take ownership in one or more specialist areas, such as labor law, employer branding, or recruitment.

Does this sound like you?

You thrive in a role where you can combine strategic and operational HR work in a changing, high-paced environment. You are confident in your HR expertise and have the ability to both support and challenge managers in a trustworthy manner.

With strong self-drive, you take responsibility, build good relationships, and communicate clearly at all levels of the organization. At the same time, you have a clear business focus, see the connection between people and business results, and work in a data-driven manner where analysis and facts form the basis for your recommendations and decisions. You are solution-oriented, see the big picture, and have the ability to prioritize without losing direction or quality.

What you bring to the table:

• Relevant university degree in HR or equivalent.
• Several years of experience as an HR Business Partner or in a similar business-close HR role.
• Experience in strategic and operational HR work in close collaboration with managers and operations.
• Experience working data-driven and using analysis and key figures as a basis for decisions and development work.
• Good knowledge of labor law.
• Experience working with both white-collar and blue-collar employees.
• Experience from a larger organization, preferably in a matrix organization.
• Good system proficiency and experience with Office 365.
• Fluent Swedish and good English in speech and writing.
