Partner with leaders across our international organisation

As HR Business Partner, you will be based in Karlskrona while partnering with leaders and management teams located in several countries. You will translate business priorities into practical people and organisation actions, coach and challenge managers, and support workforce and capability planning. The role covers both longer-term organisational priorities and day-to-day people topics, requiring close collaboration across geographical boundaries as well as with local HR, People Services, Talent Acquisition and P&C specialists.

Your responsibility will be to:
