At NORMAL we are looking for an experienced People Development Partner in Finland who will be an important part of our People Development team. You will be based at our head office in Helsinki but will primarily have activities in stores - in your regions in the country.

Your role

As a People Development Partner, you will be the link between our People Development initiatives and the everyday life in our Finnish stores. You will be given a wide range of tasks – from recruitment and onboarding to leadership development and business partnering – all with a focus on developing both people and the organization. You will participate in leadership group meetings and contribute actively to the People agenda.

Your responsibilities

· Drive and support recruitment processes primarily at management level

· Be a close sparring partner for the leaders in your regions - also in relation to strengthening our leadership pipeline

· Drive and support onboarding of new employees and managers

· Teach at our internal management training courses and run workshops

· Facilitate leadership development initiatives and ensure that concepts become practice

· Contribute to the development and implementation of People Development activities in everyday life

Who are you?

You are an empathetic relationship builder who meets people at eye level, and you are able to create trust and support among both managers and employees. You have a high drive, like to take initiative and do not wait for others to get you started. You think business and people together - and can translate strategic initiatives into concrete actions. You are also ambitious as a sparring partner and not afraid to get involved.

You thrive in an informal culture where there is room for the crazy and quirky while at the same time, we chase results and have big ambitions.

We also imagine that you:

· have years of experience with recruitment and leadership development – preferably from a larger retail organization

· have worked in a leadership role yourself

· can teach and facilitate with impact and energy

· thrive in an environment with pace, growth and many stakeholders

Who are we?

The culture at NORMAL is unpretentious, and we meet each other at eye level with the common goal of achieving success and results – while having a lot of fun and running fast. We believe in US more than ME, so we also help each other when things are busy. The employees have a high degree of influence, as we want to create a workplace based on trust and responsibility for the individual.

Normal offers you:

An exciting and challenging responsibility in a rapidly growing company. With us, you will become part of a big family, where we are motivated by self-development and our common goal to make Normal the best place possible for both our customers and employees.

Our working environment at NORMAL's Finnish headquarters and stores is youthful, international and fun, and we have a good can-do attitude. The company's values are an important part of our daily lives and thus we offer the opportunity to develop in a supportive work environment.

Do you want to be part of the team?

If you are interested in the position, please send us a motivated CV and an application with a few words about yourself and why you would be a good fit for this position. You are also welcome to reach out for questions to our Head of People Development, Morten Max on +4530248611.

We will be conducting interviews as we go, and we will hire the right candidate as soon as we have found that individual.

We look forward to receiving your application 😊
