Job description

Shape people priorities actoss an international business

Join NKT Grid Solutions as an HR Business Partner and work closely with leaders and managers across our international organisation. Based in Karlskrona, you will support stakeholders across several countries, connecting business priorities with people and organisation needs.

This is a broad and business-facing HR role where you will partner with managers at different levels of the organisation. You will combine strong business understanding with hands-on HR partnership, moving naturally between longer-term organisational priorities and the people matters that arise in the day-to-day business.

Partner with leaders and managers across our international organisation

As HR Business Partner, you will build trusted relationships with both senior leaders and operational managers, understanding their business and providing relevant advice, coaching and challenge.

Your scope will cover a broad range of people and organisation topics, from organisation and workforce planning, capability and talent to performance, organisational change and employee-related matters. You will collaborate closely across P&C to bring together the right expertise and support based on the needs of the business.

Your Key Responsibilities Include

• Partner with leaders and managers on people and organisation priorities, bringing a strong business perspective and constructive challenge.
• Advise and coach leaders on leadership, performance, team effectiveness and complex people matters, enabling sound and sustainable decisions.
• Shape organisation and workforce priorities, including organisation design, workforce planning, capability needs and organisational change.
• Drive key people priorities and processes across performance, talent, succession, engagement and capability development.
• Translate business needs into effective people solutions, working collaboratively across P&C and supporting the continued development and growth of Grid Solutions.

The position is based in Karlskrona and reports to the Senior Director P&C, Grid Solutions. The leaders and managers you partner with are located across several countries, making international collaboration and some travel a natural part of the role.

Experienced HR Business Partner with strong business acumen

To succeed in this role, you need to enjoy being close to the business and understand how people, organisation and leadership contribute to business performance. You build credibility through sound judgement, business understanding and constructive dialogue.

You are comfortable engaging with senior leaders while equally enjoying working hands-on with line managers on concrete people matters. You know when to coach, when to challenge and when a situation requires practical HR guidance. You are comfortable navigating a complex and changing organisation and can balance longer-term priorities with immediate business needs.

We Believe You Bring

• Solid HR Business Partner experience, or equivalent experience from a broad, business-facing HR role.
• Strong business acumen and the ability to connect business needs with people, organisation and capability priorities.
• Experience partnering with managers at different organisational levels, from senior leadership to operational line management.
• Broad HR expertise across areas such as organisation development, workforce planning, change, performance, talent and employee matters.
• Experience working in an international or matrix environment, combined with strong stakeholder management skills and fluency in Swedish and English.

Experience from an industrial, engineering, project-based or operational environment is an advantage.
