    In this role, known internally as Country P&C Location Operational Services Manager, you will lead the P&C Operations team in Norway, with direct people management responsibility for 10 co-workers. Together with your team, you are responsible for delivering recruitment, payroll, people administration and people data services to all IKEA units across Norway. In close collaboration with local P&C teams and our shared service organisation, Global Business Operations (GBO), you will ensure a seamless co-worker experience while driving quality, compliance and continuous improvement across our people processes.

    As a member of the Norway P&C Leadership Team, you play an important role in ensuring that our services, processes and ways of working support IKEA Norway's goals and ambitions.

    In this role, you will:
    • Lead and develop a team of 10 P&C specialists across recruitment, payroll, people administration and people data
    • Create clarity, focus and engagement through supportive and empowering leadership
    • Act as an escalation point, coach and sparring partner for your team
    • Ensure high-quality operational delivery, service excellence, compliance and risk management across P&C operations
    • Drive continuous improvement, simplification and standardisation of ways of working
    • Support the implementation of new initiatives, programs and services

    • Experience from People & Culture, HR or other people-focused functions
    • Experience working across stakeholders in a matrixed organisation
    • Experience collaborating with Shared Service Centres
    • The ability to navigate and collaborate in a complex, international environment

    You understand how people processes come together to create a great experience for co-workers and leaders. You are comfortable balancing day-to-day operations with continuous improvement and enjoy finding better ways of working. You thrive in an international and matrixed environment, where collaboration across functions, units and countries is a natural part of the way we work.

    You are a leader with an operational mindset and a genuine interest in how great People & Culture services support the business. Building strong relationships comes naturally to you, and you enjoy creating the conditions for both people and services to succeed.
