About the job
You’ll be joining a company that has set the foundation for growth, and you’ll work closely with other Business Area C&B managers, division HR managers, and other key business stakeholders, to make sure that our global compensation and benefits strategy is in place and executed.

As we have a strong growth agenda, you also support the business HR in related M&A activities and post integration strategic support in the area of C&B. You provide consultation on compensation packages for new hires and internal transfers as needed and review salary increase proposals to secure market competitiveness.
Keeping up with market trends and best practices in the area of C&B is important, and you share your knowledge and insights with stakeholders at all levels – creating education, communication, and implementation material that are consistent across countries, yet locally relevant. To take us to the next level, you drive constant improvement and respond to changing business needs.


You report to and act in close collaboration with the Vice President & Head of Human Resources at SMF, and you’re a valued member of our global C&B Forum. You’ll be located at our Headquarters in Stockholm or other Sandvik location in Europe, and occasional travel to our business units around the world is part of the job.
