About the role

As one of our HR Administrators, you will be an integral part of the HR operations team within the People & Culture department. We are front facing, supporting and enabling the business through co-workers and managers within the organisation.

This is a temporary assignment for approximately 12 months due to heavier workload in the HR administration area related to an increased amount of recruitments in our organisation

In your role you ensure that the correct co-worker information is in the right systems and shared with the right people. Always with co-worker experience, rules and regulations, local legislations and simplicity in mind.

You create accurate legal documents with a great eye for detail. In addition, you make sure our co-workers get a smooth joiner, mover and leaver process preparing employment contracts. Especially co-workers relocating from other countries bring a large number of steps and variables with them that need to be thought of and acted on in collaboration with our Mobility team in Älmhult. By making sure co-workers receive essential information and benefits at the right time you bring your part to the co-worker experience.

You also share tools, processes and insights to enable co-workers and managers to solve HR related questions such as reports and self-serve tools


About you

You are a person with a curious mind and a strong drive to enable the best co-worker experience and make us better together. Someone who is not afraid to take responsibility, is proactive yet patient, a mind for processes, and who shares and acts on new ideas and contributes to our active feedforward culture. You thrive in a lively, complex and busy environment where no day is the same and you continuously explore the “unknown”.

Working in an international work environment where everyone can be (the best version of) themselves brings out the best in you. You enjoy getting things done with the right prioritisation and speed and you have a talent to focus on details, accuracy and structure while keeping the wider picture in mind. You are able to think a few steps ahead and support a learning culture by empowering co-workers to solve more problems themselves.

More good things about you:
A drive to live and share the IKEA values every day.
Extensive experience working with HR administration as your true passion
Strong communication skills in both English and Swedish.
Comfortable navigating in ambiguity and complexity.
Strong knowledge and experience of working with Swedish labor and wage tax laws and regulations.
Interest and aptitude for digitalisation and IT solutions.
Experience working with Workday as HR system is an advantage
Organising and structuring your work comes naturally to you.
Ability to contribute and work closely together with peers across the totality of the organisation
