Director of Compensation & Benefits

Within Sandvik Group, we’re passionate about development and advanced technology, and we always aim to offer the best possible experience for our customers. Right now, we’re taking an exciting step in transforming our market-leading business even further within the area of stone crushers and screening equipment for the mining and construction industries. We do this by founding an independent, growth-oriented and customer-centric Business Area by the name of Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions. A place of inclusive collaboration, agility and innovation - where we nurture an ever-growing portfolio of products and solutions based on the needs of the market, and where pioneering software technology meets the core of manufacturing.


For Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions, we’re seeking a talented Director of Compensation & Benefits - a role that calls for a systematic, curious and forward-thinking professional with a strong ethical compass and a passion for business. We offer a unique opportunity to join us on this exciting transformation journey, where you truly get to impact our direction by building a competitive, fair and rewarding job market. Are you eager to shape the future of manufacturing? Then we really want you on board!


Let’s talk about your mission
You have the important task of designing and implementing our compensation and benefits program and making sure that we meet the organization’s objectives for internal equity and external market competitiveness - while at the same time following the overall guidelines of Sandvik Group. You provide training, expertise and advice regarding compensation and benefits to our internal stakeholders, and you proactively analyze and evaluate data of our current employee population, future HR needs and the external market to develop salary plans and forecasts. As our specialist in the field, you take part in the annual salary revision, and you conduct job evaluations, build salary structures and lead salary mapping initiatives to ensure that we stay in line with our job architecture.


Keeping one ear to the ground and benchmarking towards other companies within the industry is a vital part of your job, and you manage relationships with external partners and suppliers – such as insurance carriers, actuaries and benefit providers - to ensure that we offer a high level of services to our employees. You also evaluate how digital solutions can support and create efficiency in our work. All in all, you’re one of the key players in ensuring a rewarding, fair and market competitive compensation and benefits program for us!


In this position, you report to the Vice President and Head of HR for Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions. You’re based in the Svedala/Malmö area, although Stockholm or other locations could be discussed, and some travel is normally included in your job.


And what about you?
We’re looking for an experienced professional who truly understands the complexity of a global business – quite a master of stakeholder management and a great influencer for both people and ways of working. You have a relevant degree, most likely within HR, Finance or Business Administration, and you combine this with at least seven years’ experience from working with compensation and benefits. You’re familiar with labor legislation, various types of incentives and benefits, and are used to manage job evaluations and work in job analysis systems. We operate worldwide, and this calls for an open mind and cultural awareness – you interact across both functions and borders and you need excellent communication skills in English.


You enjoy analyzing and evaluating data, and then transforming this into relevant structures and successful programs. You take ownership and make sound decisions to keep us one step ahead and, by looking at things from different perspectives, you’re also confident in challenging us. On top of this, you’re a natural collaborator and a socially skilled communicator – someone who easily builds strong networks, both internally and externally.
