About you

We are looking for a confident, structured and service‑minded HR professional who is comfortable taking ownership of a broad range of HR activities.

You enjoy working in an international environment, are pragmatic in your approach and can quickly familiarise yourself with existing processes and ways of working.

• A practical, solution-oriented mindset and strong communication skills.
• Fluency in both Swedish and English.
• A willingness to work primarily from our Stockholm office, with on‑site presence adapted to the agreed scope.

As a person, you are approachable, reliable and relationship-oriented. You have high integrity, pay attention to detail and build trust with managers and employees. You enjoy contributing to a collaborative environment and are comfortable stepping into an existing role and taking responsibility from day one.
