As People Advisor, you will be the local face of People Operations in Stockholm, providing hands-on advisory support and casework for employment matters in the Swedish market. This is an operational, judgment-driven role that serves as a strong launchpad for career progression in People & HR.
Key responsibilities include:
- Providing practical advice to employees, managers, and People Operations colleagues on local employment practices, policies, and people matters requiring interpretation or judgment
- Running local cases from start to finish within your scope of certification, including absence management, performance concerns, and restructuring conversations
- Handling intake for leave, accommodation, and absence requests, determining what is routine versus what requires escalation
- Building out local processes and policies to ensure people programs land effectively in the Swedish market
- Identifying opportunities to improve local processes and employee experiences
- Applying Sweden's jurisdiction playbook accurately and flagging misalignments with local reality
- Recognizing when matters become formal, contested, or legally sensitive, and escalating immediately with full documentation
- Maintaining current certification and calibration to meet company standards across all markets
- Collaborating with People Business Partners and Employee Relations & Compliance to share local trends, recurring issues, and emerging risks
Success is measured by: fast and consistent local support without delays; well-documented cases that withstand scrutiny; clean and immediate handoffs; early identification and escalation of patterns or risks; and becoming a trusted, visible presence that people proactively seek out.
You will sit within People Operations and act as an escalation point for People Operations Specialists, providing guidance on matters requiring local interpretation or tailored approaches. You'll partner closely with Employee Relations & Compliance (who own jurisdictional frameworks and specialist expertise) and People Business Partners (who drive people initiatives and organizational changes).
REQUIREMENTS:
- Experience in an HR, People Operations, or HR generalist role, ideally with exposure to employee relations casework
- Good understanding of local (Swedish) employment practices, employee relations, and HR policies, with ability to apply these in real-world situations
- Ability to remain neutral and steady under pressure, including with senior stakeholders
- Sound judgment on when to act versus when to escalate; preference for early flagging over guessing
- Organized and detail-oriented with clear documentation standards so others can pick up cases seamlessly
- Motivated by career progression and genuine interest in growing within People & HR
- Comfortable working within a defined playbook while applying independent judgment to implementation
