We aim to drive positive change by providing capital to help everyone reach their goals and accelerate progress towards a sustainable tomorrow. As a leading financial services group in northern Europe, we'll help you grow and empower you to take on more responsibility to create a real difference. Welcome to SEB.
About the RoleYou will be part of the team responsible for delivering payroll to all employees in Sweden – currently, we process payroll for 10,000 employees. Our mission is to ensure that salaries and other compensations are paid out on time and with high quality. We are highly focused on improving and simplifying processes for managers and employees. Therefore, our role includes delivering clear results and driving automation and digitalization.
