Nordic Investin has been engaged by a partner company to find a Senior HR Business Partner. You earn influence by understanding how the business works and knowing when a people issue is really a question of priorities, structure or leadership.
The partner is seeking a senior HR business partner for a complex business area experiencing growth and change. You will advise leaders on organisation, capability, performance and workforce risk while ensuring that decisions are translated into disciplined action.
The partner expects HR leadership to stay close to operational reality while shaping longer term capability. Advice should help leaders act, strengthen organisational trust and remain consistent when pressure or competing priorities increase.
How you will workYou will work close to leaders and remain visible to the wider organisation. The role requires sound judgement about when to coach, when to challenge and when a formal process must take priority. Commitments should be followed through and difficult messages should remain clear and respectful.
As a senior colleague, you will own substantial outcomes and help others make stronger decisions. You are expected to recognise risk early, communicate it without drama and move work forward with practical alternatives. Seniority here means broader judgement and follow through, not distance from delivery.
What you will doPartner with senior leaders on workforce and organisation priorities.
Coach managers on performance, leadership and employee relations.
Lead people aspects of restructuring and transformation.
Translate workforce data into clear recommendations.
Coordinate talent, succession and capability planning.
Ensure specialist HR support is brought in at the right time.
Extensive HR business partnering experience.
Strong commercial and organisational understanding.
Confidence challenging senior stakeholders constructively.
Experience leading change and sensitive people processes.
Ability to move between strategic advice and operational delivery.
Professional English; Swedish is required in some partner settings.
International matrix environment.
Mergers, integration or rapid growth.
Experience with executive succession and talent reviews.
Your background may span operational HR, employee relations, talent or organisational development before moving into business partnering. What matters is evidence that your advice changed a decision, improved implementation or reduced a material people risk.
What makes the opportunity interestingThe role offers access to consequential decisions before they are fixed. You will work with leaders who expect honest counsel and an HR team that values practical outcomes over polished presentations.
The exact partner, employment model, compensation, start date and working arrangement will be explained openly during the process. Nordic Investin will make sure you understand the context, expectations and decision path before you are asked to commit significant time.
The recruitment conversationDuring the process, Nordic Investin will focus on concrete decisions you have made: the context you received, the alternatives you considered, the result you observed and what you would change today. You do not need every optional credential if your core experience transfers and you can explain how you would close the gap.
How to applyApply with your CV or LinkedIn profile and a short note describing the most relevant organisation, service, project or financial process you have helped improve. Nordic Investin welcomes candidates with different routes into the profession and assesses applicants on relevant capability, judgement and potential.
