To support our growth in Finland, we’re now looking for a People Business Partner who will play a key role in shaping our local employee experience, while being deeply connected to our central People team. This is a unique opportunity for someone who wants to work both hands-on and strategically, and who thrives in a high-paced, ever-evolving environment.

As People Business Partner Finland, you’ll have a broad and hands-on role — combining strategic partnership with everyday HR operations. You will be the first point of contact for all people-related matters in Finland, supporting both our Helsinki office and our sales hub in Turku, all in all around 90 employees. In the role you are expected to have a presence at both locations. You will have one direct report, Office Manager & HR Administrator, based in Turku.

Your key responsibilities will include:

Partnering & Coaching

Be the trusted HR partner to managers in Finland, coaching them on leadership, team development, and people decisions.
Support the Finnish leadership team with strategic HR insights and workforce planning.
Promote accountability, feedback and psychological safety in a fast-paced, performance-driven environment.

People Processes & HR Operations

Own and execute core people processes locally — including onboarding, performance management, compensation review, offboarding, and employee engagement initiatives.
Ensure compliance with Finnish labor law and internal HR policies, including union and employment law topics.
Handle daily HR admin tasks, contracts, documentation and data updates with support from central People Operations.
Be on top of HR data, follow and deliver on metrics and KPIs in our People strategy.

Recruitment & Development

Collaborate with Talent Acquisition to ensure strong hiring pipelines and be responsible for the recruitment process (high volume) for our sales teams in Turku.
Support and train managers in hiring processes, interviewing and onboarding.
Coordinate local learning and development efforts — from onboarding training to leadership support.

Organizational Development & Change

Act as a key enabler of our shift to a matrix organization – helping managers navigate cross-functional collaboration and shared ownership.
Drive culture-building initiatives and local internal communications.
Collect and share employee feedback, and bring the Finnish employee perspective into central People discussions and priorities.

Collaboration

Work closely with colleagues in Talent Acquisition, People Operations and other HRBPs across the Nordics and apply our global People strategy with local fit.
Be a member of the local Finnish management team (together with Managing Director, Head of Sales, Head of Marketing, and Product Lead).
Report to the Chief People & Culture Officer and be a part of the central People team.

What we’re looking for:

Several years of experience in a broad HRBP or HR Generalist role, ideally in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
Strong knowledge and experience working with Finnish labour law and HR best practices.
Enjoys working independently and switching between strategic and hands-on tasks.
Experience or exposure to matrix organizations is a plus.
A collaborative mindset – you enjoy building relationships and working across teams and geographies.
Fluent in Finnish and English, both spoken and written
A university degree within a relevant field.

Why join Sambla Group?

Be part of a company in transformation — from multiple brands to ONE Sambla Group.
A culture that values ownership, ambition and collaboration.
Freedom to shape your role and make a real impact in our Finnish business.
A central People team to support you — you're not alone, even if you're the only HR person in Finland.
