HR Shared Service Advisor

Whats the role?

We’re looking for a proactive, efficient and forward thinking HR Shared Service Advisor to join our Northern Europe HR Shared Services team. Based in Copenhagen, you’ll be part of an international HR community and work closely with colleagues across the Northern Europe Hub.

What You'll do

As an HR Shared Service Advisor, you will be part of a high-performing team delivering first class customer service across the business. Acting as the first point of contact for all HR-related queries—via Teams, email and in person—you will provide timely, accurate and professional support to employees, leaders and stakeholders.
Your responsibilities will include advising on HR policies, procedures, and benefits, managing the full onboarding process and preparing and issuing employment contracts. You will ensure the accuracy and integrity of people data by maintaining the HR database (Workday) and producing regular and ad hoc reports for HR and other business functions.
Although the role is based in Copenhagen, Denmark, (office moving from Hvidovre to Ørestad in June) you will work closely with the Northern Europe HR Hub and act as the key point of contact for our outsourced Danish payroll provider.
This is a fast paced and varied role, ideal for someone looking to build a strong foundation for a career in HR. As part of a small, collaborative team, you will gain exposure to a wide range of HR generalist topics, continuous improvement initiatives, and cross functional projects—locally and internationally. We continue to leverage our Workday HRIS (implemented in 2020) to drive efficiency and digital HR excellence.

Induction & Training

Your induction plan is structured to set you up for success:

• First month: Local onboarding and training in Denmark
• Followed by: A visit to the Manchester, UK Hub to meet the wider team and complete cross Hub training
• Long-term: The role is permanently based in Copenhagen, with opportunities to travel to the UK for ongoing team training, collaboration and wider HR events

What You’ll Bring

• Bachelor or Master degree in Business, Labour law, Human Resource Management etc.
• 1-2 years experience working in an administrative, business or HR focused role.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with experience working within a proactive and customer service focused environment.
• Excellent prioritisation and organisational skills and outstanding attention to detail with ability to work to tight deadlines in a fast-paced environment
• Commitment, courage and competitive drive as well as thirst to learn and challenge yourself is a must.
• Fluent in English and Danish. Swedish and Finnish language skills are seen as a benefit.
• Working knowledge of MS-Office (Excel, Word and SharePoint) are required and experience with SAP and/or Workday HR systems would be advantageous.
• Knowledge or experience in Danish payroll matters is also considered as an advantage
