As Head of HR, you will lead a mature team of HR professionals supporting employees across our Norwegian retail operations of our two banners: Brilleland and Interoptik. This leadership role will have its main focus on translating our global HR-agenda to concrete impact in Norway, and make sure local needs are being reflected in the overall HR-plan for Scandinavia. This includes the local rollout of digital HR applications and the implementation of a new HRM system infrastructure. It is a hands-on role where you contribute as a trusted business partner. You will work in close collaboration with the broader Scandinavian HR organisation to ensure alignment and consistency across markets. Synoptik is part of a Scandinavian matrix organisation and you will be reporting to HR Scandi Director (solid line), and Country Manager Norway (dotted line).

Based at our Norwegian headquarters in Sandvika, you will be an active sparring partner to the Norwegian management team, store managers, regional leaders, and corporate departments including finance and marketing. You’ll ensure that HR strategies and operations fully support both the business objectives and cultural values of the organisation.
