We’re looking for a People Partner to join our People team in Oda!

As a People Partner at Oda, you’ll play an important role in shaping how we support and develop our teams. You’ll be the go-to partner for several business areas --- including Product & Tech, Finance, Marketing, and Customer Service --- and work closely with leaders to make sure we create great conditions for people to thrive and grow, while helping the business succeed.

You’ll be part of a close-knit team of People Partners and Advisors who support each other, share insights, and collaborate across Oda. Together, we aim to build strong, people-centered practices that scale with the company.

In this role, you'll:

• Partner with leaders to design team structures and ways of working that support their goals

• Use people data (like engagement, sick leave, turnover, etc.) to spot trends and help leaders make informed decisions

• Lead and support organizational changes --- from team restructuring to role adjustments

• Give guidance on roles, compensation, and job architecture

• Help plan for future talent needs and identify potential gaps or risks

• Build good relationships with unions (like Tekna) and represent Oda in negotiations

• Improve and develop HR processes and create useful tools and materials for leaders

• Support leaders with complex personnel matters in a fair and thoughtful way

• Ensure we follow relevant laws and internal guidelines

• Act as a coach and sounding board for leaders as they grow in their roles

• Bring insights from your areas to help improve how we work with people across Oda

To thrive in this role, we believe you enjoy working both strategically and hands-on. You're curious, pragmatic, and comfortable navigating complex people challenges. You pay attention to detail, build trust easily, and know how to balance empathy with business needs. You're a confident communicator who’s not afraid to challenge or be challenged --- always with the goal of helping people and teams grow.
