Are you a confident and experienced HR specialist driven by supporting and guiding managers and colleagues? We are looking for someone who wants to work in a team with deep knowledge of labor law, negotiations, and the application of collective agreements. With us, you will have a central role where you support managers and drive the development of our internal processes. Who are we? The HR Department is part of the Municipal Director's Office and has the primary mission of implementing the municipality's personnel policy. Based on the political vision, we work both strategically and operatively. The assignment also includes developing and quality-assuring HR processes and procedures. Through consultative and operations-close support within the HR field, we enable the organization to perform and develop the welfare mission and ensure that Norrköping Municipality is an attractive employer for current and future employees. The HR Department encompasses all of the municipality's central HR functions and consists of four units: the payroll unit, the HR unit, the negotiation unit, and the competence supply unit. The Negotiation Unit consists of seven committed and experienced colleagues characterized by strong collegial collaboration and knowledge exchange. We work solution-oriented, see opportunities where others see obstacles, and value a positive work environment. Shortly, we will be moving back to a newly renovated Town Hall, centrally located near both train and bus connections. Your Responsibilities As an HR specialist with us, you will have a multifaceted role with opportunities for variation and development. Your main areas of responsibility include wage formation and labor law matters, where you also handle individual cases as part of your assignment. You collaborate with union representatives and serve as the face of Norrköping Municipality. You have a key role in supporting managers within the organization, both at an operational and tactical level, to ensure that the municipality's personnel policy is legally sound, sustainable, and complies with applicable laws and collective agreements. You work closely with your HR Department colleagues and also have a supporting role in various matters. We apply a working method based on clusters, which means we organize ourselves in teams across unit boundaries. Together, we offer coordinated, professional, and needs-adapted support to the operations. Who are you? We are looking for someone with higher education in HR, behavioral science, or other education that the employer deems equivalent. You have a background as an HR generalist and specialist with experience in qualified HR work. You have experience with wage formation and labor law. You are confident in reading, understanding, and interpreting both laws and collective agreements. It is meritorious if you have experience from the municipal sector and collaboration with union organizations. As a person, you are confident and have an unpretentious approach. You adapt easily to changed circumstances and are flexible in your working style. You see opportunities and can find different solutions to emerging issues and work goal-oriented. You have the ability to see the big picture, even in detailed or minor matters. To thrive in the role, we also see that you have an interest in working with digital solutions and systems. You appreciate collaboration and enjoy sharing your knowledge with colleagues. You are skilled at building trusting relationships and can act both consultatively and in a guiding manner depending on the situation's needs. Additionally, you are attentive. You can express yourself well both orally and in writing and have the ability to adapt your communication to the person you meet. Welcome to apply!
