About the company

Stokvis Nordics is part of Stokvis Tapes, an international company specializing in advanced tape and bonding solutions for industrial customers. As part of ITW (Illinois Tool Works), one of the world's leading industrial groups, Stokvis combines the stability and resources of a global organization with the culture and agility of a smaller local company.

From its Nordic headquarters in Norrköping, Stokvis serves customers across Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Norway, delivering customized solutions to industries such as healthcare, electronics, automotive, and industrial manufacturing.

Following a recent Nordic reorganization, Sweden has become the hub for the Nordic business, making this an exciting time to join the company as it continues to strengthen collaboration, develop common ways of working, and support future growth.

The Role

This is a newly established HR Business Partner role where you will become the go-to HR partner for managers across the Nordic organization, with your primary focus on supporting the business in Sweden.

You will work closely with managers throughout the employee lifecycle, providing day-to-day HR support in areas such as recruitment, onboarding, employee relations, performance management, talent development, compensation planning, and labor law. You'll also collaborate with the local union and support managers in handling employee-related matters.

Beyond the daily HR work, you will play an important role in building and improving HR processes, creating structure, and supporting the implementation of Workday and other HR initiatives. The role offers plenty of variety and the opportunity to influence how HR continues to develop within the Nordic organization.

You are pragmatic, approachable, and solution-oriented, with the ability to balance structure and flexibility. You are comfortable taking ownership while building trust and strong relationships across the organization.

To succeed in this role, you likely bring:

• A university degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Social Sciences, or a related field

• At least five years of broad HR experience

• Experience supporting managers in operational HR matters

• Good knowledge of Swedish labor law and HR processes

• Experience across several parts of the employee lifecycle, including recruitment, employee relations, performance management, and talent development
