HR Director for Br. Olssons

Tacting AB · Full-time

Gustaf Anders gata 7b, Karlstad, Sweden

Br. Olssons is growing. Today, the group encompasses a restaurant, bakery and deli, hotel, events and festivals in Karlstad and Arvika. Now we are seeking our first group-wide HR Director. This is an opportunity for you who want to use your HR expertise to develop the business while building something that is not yet complete. You will have significant scope to shape the role, prioritize the right issues, and create structures that work in an operation with a fast pace and strong entrepreneurial spirit. You work closely with owners, management, and managers. The owners are accustomed to thinking innovatively and driving development. You need to appreciate that energy while having enough integrity to challenge and recommend a path forward when the situation requires it. About Br. Olssons Br. Olssons is a locally rooted and growing group with operations in gastronomy, hotel, events, and entertainment. With a constantly refreshed repertoire and genuine hospitality, we create unique guest experiences that bring old memories to life and create beautiful new ones. As the group grows, our organization must continue to develop as well. Clear roles and mandates, strong managers, and well-functioning approaches will give us the strength to continue growing—while preserving the commitment, speed, and decisiveness that characterize Br. Olssons. Your Role As HR Director, you build and lead Br. Olssons' group-wide HR function. You create a shared foundation for organization, leadership, and employer practices, and ensure that HR work contributes to business development and results. Business acumen is central. You understand how staffing, competence, leadership, and organization affect guest experience, efficiency, and profitability. You balance the business's needs, the human perspective, and employment law, and contribute solutions that are responsible and work in practice. The role is both strategic and operationally close. One day you work with organization, competency needs, or leadership development. The next day you support a manager with a concrete HR matter. You need to thrive in that dynamic and be able to drive work from need to a working method that is used. An important principle is that managers continue to own personnel responsibility. You strengthen them with clear frameworks, qualified support, and practical tools. The mission is to make managers more confident and independent, not to take over their issues. You are also responsible for HR processes and hold together the group's shared approach to process ownership. Each function owns its processes, while you create structure for responsibility, approval, auditing, and follow-up. Important parts of the role will be to: · build a group-wide HR structure and prioritize what should be developed first · support organizational development and create clarity in roles, responsibilities, and mandates · develop managers and shared expectations for leadership · create quality in recruitment, onboarding, employee conversations, and competency development · own the structure for salary reviews and the connection between role, performance, development, and compensation · ensure professional work within employment law, work environment, rehabilitation, and union matters · drive culture and change work all the way to use in daily operations · develop HR processes, HR data, and working methods, and support other process owners. We Are Looking for You… who have broad HR experience and are accustomed to working independently close to managers, leadership, and operations. You might already be an HR Director, but the role could also be your next natural step. Perhaps you currently work as a senior HR Business Partner, HR Manager, or in another broad role where you have handled issues that typically fall on an HR Director's desk. Your current title is therefore not decisive. We are looking for experience and confidence, but also potential, personality, and the willingness to step forward, take overall responsibility, and build a function. At Br. Olssons, there is both the trust and the space to grow with the role. You don't need to come from hotel, restaurant, or events. More important is that you can understand a labor-intensive operation, build trust, and translate HR knowledge into solutions that work in practice. We want you to have: · several years of experience in qualified and broad HR work · ability to link HR issues to business goals, conditions, and results · very good expertise in employment law and systematic occupational health and safety work · experience supporting managers in complex personnel matters · experience with union relations and negotiations · experience in recruitment, competency supply, and organizational matters · ability to drive change from decision to functioning daily practice · relevant academic education or equivalent competence through experience. It is a merit if you have built or professionalized HR in a growing organization, worked close to an owner or CEO, implemented shared HR processes, or have experience from hotel, restaurant, tourism, retail, or other labor-intensive operations.
