Job description

About the company

SICK in Linköping is part of the global SICK Group, a technology company with more than 10,000 employees worldwide. The Linköping site serves as an international competence and innovation center within industrial image processing and sensor technology, developing software and solutions related to industrial cameras, sensors, and robotics.

The organization consists of approximately 90 employees and operates in a highly international environment with close collaboration across development teams, sales organizations, and specialist functions throughout the SICK Group.

As an innovation center, SICK works closely with Linköping University and local innovation ecosystems, contributing to the development of future technologies and competencies. Openness, collaboration, and curiosity are central parts of the culture, creating an environment where people are encouraged to contribute, learn, and grow.

The Role

As People Business Partner, you will play an important role in supporting managers and employees across a broad range of HR-related topics, while also helping to drive and coordinate key initiatives within the People area.

This is a varied role where you will combine day-to-day support with longer-term activities such as recruitment, employer branding, talent development, and process improvements. You will work closely with managers, supporting them in employee-related matters and ensuring that key processes are delivered in a structured and effective way.

You will be part of the local People team and report to the People Manager Nordics. The role offers close collaboration with colleagues across Sweden, the Nordics, and the wider global People organization, while remaining firmly connected to the local business in Linköping.

The organization is in a phase of development, with a growing focus on competence planning, employer branding, and modern ways of working. This creates opportunities for someone who enjoys contributing ideas, driving improvements, and exploring how digital tools, AI, and data can support the future of People work.

Key Responsibilities

• Drive and support recruitment activities and employer branding initiatives
• Represent SICK at employer branding events and support initiatives aimed at attracting future talent
• Act as a trusted advisor to managers and employees on People-related matters
• Contribute to organizational development and support change initiatives when needed
• Support the implementation of global People processes, policies, and systems
• Contribute to the continuous development of People processes and ways of working, exploring how digital tools, AI, and data can support efficiency, decision‑making, and the employee experience

Your Profile

You are a relationship‑oriented and proactive People professional who enjoys working close to the business and supporting both managers and employees.

You are comfortable balancing structure with flexibility and enjoy working in an environment where priorities may shift and new initiatives emerge. Rather than needing every day to look the same, you are motivated by variety and appreciate being part of an organization that is continuously developing.

To succeed in this role, you likely bring:

• A university degree in Human Resources, Behavioral Science, or a related field
• Around five years of experience in a broad People or HR generalist role
• Experience supporting managers in both operational and strategic People matters
• Experience working with recruitment, employer branding, or talent attraction
• A genuine interest in improving People processes through digital tools, AI, data, and new ways of working
• Fluency in English, both written and spoken

Experience from a technology‑driven organization, an international environment, or working with larger HR systems such as SAP SuccessFactors or Workday is considered an advantage.

As a person, you are structured, curious, and approachable. You build trust easily, enjoy collaborating with others, and are comfortable taking ownership while remaining hands‑on in your daily work. You are also someone who enjoys learning, exploring new ideas, and adapting to changing circumstances.

Why SICK?

At SICK, you will join an organization characterized by openness, collaboration, and a genuine interest in both people and technology.

You will have the opportunity to work in an international environment while remaining close to the local business and its leaders. The role offers a broad range of responsibilities and the chance to contribute across several areas within People, from manager support and employee relations to recruitment, employer branding, and organizational development.

This role is particularly well suited for someone who enjoys variety, values strong relationships, and is energized by change and development rather than predictability.

Ready for your next challenge?

If you are looking for a broad People role in an international technology company where you can make an impact while continuing to learn and develop, we would love to hear from you.

Please submit your application no later than August 16, 2026. We will begin reviewing applications after the application deadline. For more information about the position or the recruitment process, please contact Sara Lidmer at [e-mail].
