If you're driven by making a real impact, take pride in providing high-quality support, and thrive on creating value for the business — this could be your next step.

You’ll be part of a small, agile team and report to the Global Head of Compensation & Benefits. The role is based at the company's Global Headquarters in Gothenburg, Sweden. They embrace a hybrid working model, recognizing the value of both in-person collaboration and focused remote work. What matters most is having the time, tools, and trust to get things done — and to enjoy doing them.

In this role, you’ll be a trusted partner to HR and business leaders on all Compensation & Benefits matters, helping them design and deliver practices that support the attraction, retention, and motivation of top talent across markets.
