人力资源业务伙伴（HRBP）

职位说明

This is the HR seat at the table for our Norwegian business. You’ll be the person leaders call when they need a thinking partner — the one who coaches, challenges, and helps them turn ambition into action. T

hat might mean helping a manager think through a difficult people decision, or getting hands-on with a sensitive case when needed. Either way, you take clear ownership of the local people agenda from start to finish.

You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with our HR expert network across the Nordics and globally — drawing on their depth, but bringing the local fluency that keeps things grounded in Norwegian reality. Strategy and operations both land on your desk, and you’re equally at home with both.

What you’ll actually do

Be the trusted partner to leaders

Coach managers through the full employee lifecycle — onboarding, follow-ups, performance conversations, sickness absence, conflict, and the harder employee relations cases. You bring calm judgment and a clear point of view, even when the conversation is uncomfortable.

Translate business strategy into people plans

Take what the business is trying to achieve and turn it into HR activity that actually moves the needle. No HR-for-HR’s-sake.

Own the annual people cycle

Goal-setting, development reviews, performance management, talent and succession, salary and bonus rounds, engagement surveys — you run the rhythm and make sure the follow-up is meaningful, not performative.

Keep us compliant — and a good place to work

You’re our expert on the Norwegian Working Environment Act and HSE (HMS). You’ll make sure our Working Environment Committee (AMU) and verneombud structure work as intended, prepare HR content for AMU meetings, and lead on HSE reporting.

Lead on labor law and ER cases

Confident, pragmatic advice on Norwegian labor law. Steady hands on the cases that matter.

Turn data into decisions

Sickness absence, turnover, engagement, compliance, risk — you read the signals, spot the patterns, and bring leaders insights they can act on.

Guide leaders through change

Reorganizations, role clarifications, evolving ways of working — you help leaders navigate it with care and clarity.

Bring local execution to global initiatives

You implement group-wide HR processes locally in a way that fits Norway — not by bending Norway to fit the process.

Champion a diverse, engaged, high-performing team

Partner with business leaders to build the kind of workforce we’re proud of.

What you bring

Experience

5–7+ years as an HR Business Partner, HR Manager, or similar — ideally inside a global matrix or group structure

Solid grounding in Norwegian labor law and HSE (HMS)

Track record in organizations going through change, with highly skilled people

Education

Higher education in HR, organization, law, economics, or equivalent. A relevant master’s is a plus.

Language

Fluent written and spoken Norwegian and English

Capability

Strong leadership presence and solid project management chops

Who you are

You’re proactive — you’d rather move things forward than wait for the perfect moment.

You own your deliverables and get them done, pragmatically.

You’re confident enough in HR to challenge leaders respectfully, and self

aware enough to know when to listen.

You read cultural cues well and bridge differing views without flattening them.

You build trust quickly and keep it.

You see HR through a commercial lens, balance analysis with action, and bring high personal integrity to everything.

And you’re genuinely good to work with — the kind of teammate people are glad to have on the project.
