Director of People Advisory

Our People Experience team delivers people advisory services across four markets. We have more than 1000 leaders across 250 hotels who use our self-service tools and support services. The most complex cases make their way to us for hands-on support. 

As our Director of People Advisory you’ll be wearing two hats. First, you’ll lead a team of People Managers & Advisors in Norway and Sweden and work hands on with leadership support and people cases in Sweden. In addition, you’ll work on unifying the People products and processes we deliver across all our markets (Norway, Sweden, Denmark and Finland). Our aim is to align and standardize where we can, and localize where it makes sense. 

The right person for the role will mix strategy with operational HR. You understand improvement needs by using our products together with the leaders, and understanding what works and what doesn’t. You fly the flag for applying user insights, product development thinking and lean methods to develop great people experiences. 

You’ll report to the VP People Experience, and work from our offices at Solna in Stockholm. You’ll need to travel regularly to be present for your team. 

We will ask you to submit a CV. Instead of a cover letter, the application form have some free-text fields. 

What you'll be doing

Your work will span from high-level strategy to hands-on support, specifically focusing on:

• Leading your team and vision: Be present for your team members in Sweden and Norway, and liaising with our teams in Denmark and Finland. You’ll raise the bar on smart ways of working to build high quality services. 
• Building the Toolbox: You will own and evolve our library of templates, guides, and automated processes. You’ll ensure that being a leader at Strawberry is easy and compliant by designing tools with a "customer-first" perspective.
• Empowering Leaders: You’ll design and deliver engaging training—from LiveTalks and webinars to e-learning content—ensuring our leadership team is confident in navigating the employee lifecycle.
• Expert Advisory: You will provide high-level advisory on complex cases. This includes planning case strategies, attending critical employee meetings, and quality-assuring all legal documentation.
• Driving Union Relations: As the main point of contact for central unions in Sweden, you will lead negotiations for collective agreements and salary reviews, and manage coordination in the event of industrial action.
• Governance & Compliance: You will stay ahead of legislative changes in Sweden, implementing necessary updates across the organization and maintaining self-audit routines.
