The posting
About the role Great deliveries start with great teams. We’re looking for a People Partner who wants to help build both. Based at Instabee’s HQ in Stockholm, you’ll partner with leaders across Customer Service and the other support functions within our Swedish organisation. From helping managers grow into confident leaders to shaping teams and making everyday people decisions, you’ll work close to the business and see the impact of what you do. This is a broad, hands-on role with room to influence. You’ll move between longer-term priorities and the situations that need your attention today, bringing sound judgement, structure, and a practical approach to both. Your future team You’ll report directly to our Head of People Sweden and be part of the Swedish People team, alongside our Head of People and three People Partners supporting our operational organisation across Sweden. Together, you’ll share knowledge, tackle challenges, and develop how we work with People across the Swedish business. You’ll also be part of Instabee’s wider People & Culture team, collaborating with colleagues across our markets to exchange ideas, learn from each other, and bring shared People initiatives to life. Some of the things you will do Act as a trusted partner: Advise and challenge leaders, translating business needs into practical People initiatives.
Enable leadership: Coach managers in performance, feedback, team development, and everyday leadership.
Drive core People processes: Lead salary reviews, performance management, talent reviews, and engagement initiatives within your functions.
Lead change: Support workforce planning and organisational development, helping leaders and teams navigate new ways of working.
Manage employee relations: Guide leaders through employee matters, union dialogue, and negotiations in line with Swedish labour law and relevant collective agreements.
Strengthen the employee experience: Partner with Talent Acquisition and leaders on hiring, onboarding, and retention, while supporting a healthy and sustainable work environment.
What we’re looking for You’re an experienced People professional who enjoys being close to the business. You can connect the bigger picture to a manager’s next decision, and you’re just as comfortable challenging a proposal as you are helping put it into practice. You bring empathy, integrity, and the confidence to take a clear position. When priorities shift, you stay focused on what matters and help others move forward. You’re curious about how technology and data can improve the way we work, and you enjoy building solutions that people actually use. We believe you bring:
At least 5 years of experience as a People Partner/HR Business Partner, independently supporting and advising leaders across a broad People agenda.
Strong practical knowledge of Swedish labour law and collective agreements, with experience independently managing complex employee relations matters and union negotiations.
Proven experience coaching and challenging managers, driving core People processes, and supporting organisational change.
Strong communication and stakeholder management skills, with the confidence and judgement to influence decisions and balance business and employee needs.
A bachelor’s degree in HR, Business Administration, Organisational Psychology, or a related field.
Fluency in Swedish and English.
What you’ll get A role with real ownership, close access to business leaders, and the opportunity to shape how our Swedish organisation develops. You’ll join a People team with colleagues to learn from, exchange ideas with, and tackle challenges alongside. There’s plenty to build and improve, and your ideas will have room to become action. If you enjoy a quick pace, care about making leadership better, and want to see your work make a difference in a technology-enabled delivery business, we’d love to meet you. Of course, we have all the necessary and standard benefits in place, but in addition to this, we can also offer:
🏢 Brand-New Office — More Space for Our Brilliant People. Soon moving into our new Stockholm HQ, designed to bring our people together to collaborate, connect, create and deliver.
