HEAD OF PEOPLE & CULTURE
//

business, experience from a fast-growing company, and a proactive attitude to change, who will actively contribute to Liewoodâs future performance development in business and with employees.
Your primary focus is to create organizational structure and foundation for Liewood to grow and develop in desired high pace.
This requires a combination of foresight and execution, creating a supporting HR framework but also complete very practical tasks in 2021: manage 20 recruitments, implement bonus- and HR-system with
a data structure for contracts, revise employee contracts, create annual company calendar
for activities, support moving to new offices, implement a handful of supporting HR policies and ad hoc projects together with the leadership team.
You will refer to the CEO and be part of the leadership team. The same team you will help to grow and develop as leaders and as a team.
