Senior Manager, HR operational Excellence

EG has scaled fast. 45 acquisitions in six years. +3,000 people. 10 countries. Now we need the leader who takes our HR operations from strong to genuinely world-class.

This is the operational backbone of EG’s entire HR organisation - and the person who leads it will have the chance to build something that others in the industry look to as the benchmark. If you are the kind of leader who reaches for the data before the consultant, who is genuinely excited by what AI can do next, and who makes things happen, read on.

As part of the department

Your Task: Own, Drive, and Deliver
Reporting directly to Tina Bodin, Head of HR, and on the HR Leadership team, you will take full ownership of the function that keeps EG's HR running - across HR Operations, total rewards, and the annual HR cycle. At the same time, you will lead the HRIS, data, and AI transformation agenda that will redefine how HR operates as EG continues to scale.

You will lead a globally distributed team spanning Denmark and India, and you will own the HR operational workstream every time EG acquires and onboards a new business. This is not a slow-moving environment. It is a complex HR function in Nordic tech - and an opportunity to develop in a dynamic environment.

• Own and execute core HR processes end-to-end: HR operations, total rewards including pay transparency, across all markets.
• Lead the HRIS, data, and AI transformation agenda - moving HR from reactive reporting to proactive, predictive decision-making.
• Drive M&A integration: own the HR operational workstream as EG acquires and onboards new businesses, ensuring employees experience a smooth transition from day one.
• Engineer the HR function to embrace AI as a core operating model - agents handling onboarding, offboarding, contract issuance, and workflow execution autonomously.
• Lead and develop a globally distributed HR Ops team across Denmark and India, working closely with India HR Ops Lead.
• Drive process standardisation across HR areas, ensuring a high-performing ops function that scales with the business.
• Use data and workforce analytics to generate meaningful insight - and translate that insight into better decisions.

You are the ideal candidate if
What we are looking for is someone who combines the right operational foundations with genuine intellectual curiosity and a passion for AI-driven transformation.

You-have

• Proven experience leading, or playing a significant role in leading, an HR operations function in a cross-border, international environment.
• Some experience working with Total Rewards & the pay transparency agenda.
• Experience with, or meaningful exposure to, the HR operational side of M&A integration, including carve-out scenarios.
• Data-literate and hands-on: you solve things yourself, reach for the data before the external consultant.
• Genuinely excited by what AI can do - not as a trend, but as a practical tool for transformation.

Nice to have

• Experience building AI-driven workflows or automation within an HR function.
• Background in fast-scaling PE-backed or tech environments.
• Experience managing distributed teams across geographies and time zones.

What’s in it for you?
For the right person, this is a truly brilliant opportunity. The foundations are already in place - a capable team, global processes, and an HR function that has scaled alongside one of the Nordics' fastest-growing software businesses. What this role offers is the chance to take that platform and build something genuinely best-in-class.

• A clear career trajectory: Senior Manager to Director as EG continues to scale.
• Real organisational sponsorship - you will be challenged, and you will be backed.
• An HR leadership team that is genuinely curious about AI and actively experiments with what it can do next.
• Scale that is hard to replicate: 3,000 people, 40+ legal entities, 45 acquisitions in six years, ongoing M&A at pace.
• A Scandinavian culture built on trust, autonomy, and no politics - in a truly international environment.
