We're 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-focused environment?

The HRBP Role!
This is a broad and business-focused HR role where you work close to the business and function as a strategic partner to managers. You contribute with an HR perspective that strengthens both the organization and the business and become part of a dedicated HR team that supports a business with over 800 employees and 85 managers.
You'll be 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 your assignment is also to develop our data-driven HR work. You'll help build processes, analyses, and decision support by using HR data and key metrics to identify trends and contribute to business decisions that strengthen both the business and our employees.
Some of your key responsibilities:
Drive and follow up HR processes according to the annual calendar – from Performance Management to salary reviews
Be a close and business-focused support to managers on matters concerning employment law, work environment, rehabilitation, organization, and leadership
Prepare and analyze HR and business data to identify trends, create decision-making materials, and contribute to business development.

Ensure that laws, guidelines, and policies are complied with throughout the organization

Do you recognize yourself?
You thrive in a role where you can combine strategic and operational HR work in a changing environment with a fast pace. You're confident in your HR expertise and have the ability to both support and challenge managers in a trustworthy way.
With strong personal drive, you take responsibility, build good relationships, and communicate clearly at all levels in the organization. At the same time, you have a clear business focus, see the connection between people and business results, and work data-driven where analysis and facts form the basis for your recommendations and decisions. You're solution-oriented, see the whole picture, and have the ability to prioritize without losing direction or quality.
