Executive Assistant to Vice President and Head of HR

Do you thrive in a fast-paced, global environment where structure meets innovation? Welcome to a role in the center of it all – supporting a visionary leader and helping shape the future of HR at business area segment Machining.  

We offer you the chance to be part of a digital transformation journey that’s reshaping how HR works across borders and brands!  

Your new team  

At Machining, we’re proud of our multi-brand portfolio and our 20,000 brilliant minds all around the world. Our HR team is on a mission to become even more people centric, agile and digitally empowered. We’re known for our transparency, ambition and collaborative spirit – and we’re excited to welcome someone who shares our energy and curiosity.  

About your job 

This is more than an assistant role – it’s a strategic partnership. You support our VP and Head of HR, as well as contributing to the broader HR function. From coordinating global meetings and managing travel to shaping smarter ways of working, you help us stay ahead. You work with structure, bring fresh ideas and make things happen.  

In this role, you can expect to:  

• Manage calendars, travel, documentation, approvals and expenses. 

• Coordinate global HR Management Team meetings and internal events. 

• Support webinars and communication activities.  

• Drive improvements and efficiency in our ways of working with digital tools like Copilot and Office 365. 

• Help lead forums for learning and travel and contribute to new work methods.  

Great collaboration and trusting networks are keys in this position, and you work closely with members of our Machining assistant community to share knowledge and best practices and support each other. 

The location for this position is preferably either Sandviken or Stockholm, and we offer flexible working conditions. Travel may be part of your job, and you collaborate across varied time zones.  

Your profile 

You bring a strong background in coordination, administration or customer service and you’re confident in navigating digital tools and eager to learn more. Experience in HR is a plus – curiosity and interest goes a long way. You know your way around Microsoft 365, Copilot and Teams, or you’re ready to dive in and master them. High integrity and discretion are essential, and you’re comfortable working in a global setting – which also means you need to be fluent in English, verbally and in writing.  

Structured, proactive and calm under pressure – that’s your style. You spot what needs doing and take initiative. You enjoy organizing, planning and finding better ways to work. You’re not afraid to speak up, suggest improvements and influence changes. Flexibility is second nature, and you bring a positive, solutions-focused mindset to everything you do!

We believe that success is a team effort so we value diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive culture where people can be themselves and reach their full potential.
