About You

You are a business-oriented HR professional who enjoys working close to the organization and its leaders. You are analytical and structured, while also comfortable operating in an environment where not everything is defined.

You build trust and strong relationships, but you are equally prepared to challenge constructively, bring a clear point of view and influence decisions.

Most importantly, you have the energy and drive to take topics from discussion and analysis to decisions, execution and measurable impact.

We expect that you bring:

• 5 years of relevant HR experience, preferably including experience as an HR Business Partner as well as university degree in relative field
• Experience in facilitating organizational change and restructuring, together with a strong understanding of Swedish labour law, collective agreements and market practice.

Why Join Us?

This is an opportunity to join Intrum at an important point in our transformation journey and have a direct impact on how our organization, capabilities and ways of working evolve.

The Team

You will join a small and highly capable Swedish HR team with broad responsibility for the People agenda across the Swedish organization.

We work closely together, combining local business partnership with expertise and support from HR colleagues across Intrum Group. This gives you the opportunity to make a significant local impact while being part of an international HR community.

We value collaboration, curiosity, courage and ownership, and we expect everyone in the team to contribute beyond their immediate area of responsibility.

Location & Ways of Working

The role can be based in Stockholm or Gothenburg and reports to the HR Director Sweden.

We apply a hybrid working model, with three days per week in the office and two days where you have flexibility to work from the location that enables you to perform at your best. Selection and interviews will be conducted continuously.
