Collaborating closely with management teams, you will:

• Contribute to the overall business ambition by addressing relevant people-related areas and ensuring alignment with HR at both local and group levels.

• Support managers at all levels in various situations, from sparring on difficult conversations, to establishing development plans, and, if no improvement is observed, guiding exit procedures in accordance with individual cases and local regulations.

• Promote people engagement at the managerial level, including overseeing the satisfaction survey process.

• Lead succession, talent, and competency management efforts in collaboration with the management team, and coordinate with the HR Group as appropriate.

• Actively support the recruitment process by monitoring recruitment plans, participating in senior-level hiring when needed, aligning with hiring managers and recruiters on pay ranges, and occasionally contributing to final offer decisions.

•  Have the opportunity to lead and participate in strategic projects with HR colleagues across the organization to support organizational and leadership development.

• Take ownership of the annual people wheel in close cooperation with HR colleagues, including:

  • Performance Management: Ensure the process has local relevance and impact, not just frequency, by regularly reviewing its value with managers and employees.

  • Merit and Bonus Processes: Coordinate and manage these locally.

  • Succession Planning and Critical Roles: Facilitate these processes effectively.
