Sr. People & Culture Manager
Lead the people agenda. Shape the culture. Transform how we work.
The fastest way to transform isn't just through initiatives. It's through leaders who are clear, capable, and accountable. That's where this role begins.
At Simployer, we're simplifying work-life for employers through modern HR tech. We're growing. We're building an AI-first company, redefining how we work, how we lead, and how we create value. And we need the right people architecture to get there.
Now we're looking for someone who gets excited by questions like:
What does high performance actually look like in an AI-first company?
How do we build leadership capability before we need it, not after?
What would it take to make workforce planning genuinely strategic?
As our Senior People & Culture Manager, you'll be the business partner who helps us answer those questions, with structure, data, and real commercial thinking.
Your mission
Partner with senior leaders to build the people foundation that an AI-first Simployer needs. Not just through programs and initiatives, but through clarity, capability, and disciplined execution.
This role sits at the heart of our transformation. You'll work closely with leadership across the business, driving organizational design, workforce planning, talent development, and change leadership. You'll make sure our people processes, from salary reviews to succession planning, reflect where we're going, not just where we've been.
You'll thrive here if...
You've operated as a true business partner at senior leadership level, not just an HR advisor
You come from a fast-scaling or transformation-driven company and know what that pace feels like
You're confident using data to challenge, inform, and drive decisions
You understand Swedish employment law deeply and navigate it with confidence
You believe culture is built through leadership behavior and accountability, not initiatives alone
You know how to lead change without losing people along the way
You're genuinely curious about how AI is reshaping workforce and leadership, and want to be part of figuring that out
You don't need to have all the answers. But you do need to feel energized by the questions.
What you bring
We are not big on long checklists, and if the mission resonates with you we would love to hear from you. That said, there are a couple of things you will need to succeed in this role: a Bachelor's degree in a relevant field and fluency in both Swedish and English.
A message from the Hiring Manager:

Someone who is motivated by strengthening leadership, raising performance standards, and shaping a culture where teams can truly thrive and deliver.
If you’re ready to make an impact, I would love to hear from you."
