Are You Looking to Grow Your HR Career in a Dynamic International Environment?

We are looking to expand our Human Resources team with an HR Operations Advisor, Nordics, ideally based in Oslo. We are in search for someone passionate about payroll, employment law, and customer service.

Who are we?

The RiskPoint Group is a global Managing General Underwriter (MGU) providing best-in-class insurance solutions backed by the insurance companies we represent.

We are an agile company with strong cross-border collaboration, leveraging our extensive, international expertise.

Our company structure is flat, and we provide great opportunities for every employee to make a difference, take responsibility, enhance their skill set, and grow.

About The Team
Our HR department was established in 2021, as we grew past 100 employees across 10 countries. Today, our multi-national HR department provides services for 18 countries spanning Europe, the Americas, and Asia Pacific. With a growing number of over 300 employees and new operations on the horizon, we are looking to strengthen and develop our HR department to support the company's continued growth.

Our HR team operates as an internationally decentralized model, designed to represent the diverse and global nature of our company. Remote work collaboration between team members, regular travel, and proactive communication across geographies are essential to our team's success.

We work closely with all areas of the company, including our Centers of Excellence, Country Management, Finance & Operations, Marketing & Communication, and various insourced and/or outsourced partners.

About The Position
As our new HR Operations Advisor, Nordics, you will play a pivotal role in supporting the company's growth and strengthening best practices that position us as an Employer of Choice, aligning with our Group company culture.

Our Nordic operations aim to provide the business with effective and compliant payroll & employment law administration across three of the Group's Nordic operations in Norway, Sweden, and Finland. You will work closely with our HR Operations position covering equivalent activities for local and head office operations, based out of our Copenhagen office.

The key focus areas for this regional position are broad, yet critical, to the fast-growing environment in which we operate. As such, you will be responsible for several areas, with examples of your responsibilities including:

Payroll Administration

• Process end-to-end payroll for employees in the Nordic region, ensuring precise calculation of salaries, taxes, social security contributions, and benefits. This includes accurate and timely handling of pre- and post-payroll administration for wages and additional compensation elements (such as benefits and cash perks) to meet administrative needs and comply with relevant employment laws, tax regulations, and social security requirements.
• Obtain a good understanding of international payroll matters as support to the team
• Manage the relation & communication with external providers, such as payroll, legal, and tax
• Maintain up-to-date records to ensure accurate compensation and legal statements
• Prepare the necessary elements for accounting and cash payments
• Collaborate with the Finance team to process reconciliation
• Assist with the setup of related processes and formalities for new legal entities and employees
• Support the HR Reward team with formalities in Nordic languages related to employee benefits and special tax status applications, and tax returns for international payrolls

Personnel administration & employment law

• Draft and maintain all administrative employment documents in accordance with social legislation (e.g. employment contracts, addenda, transfers, and certificates
• Maintain up-to-date personnel employment data and prepare regulatory reporting

• Administration for:

• Time & attendance

• GDPR-related administration (e.g. consents, NDA's)
• Disability and accident files – both workplace and private

• Social security & immigration formalities

• Support business managers from a technical employment and legal perspective when dealing with sensitive employee discussions related to performance management and terminations

Regulatory

• Actively keep abreast of developments on regulatory matters (legal/tax/payroll) for the region in scope and share the information with all stakeholders concerned
• Assist with the update of social documentation, including working regulations, contract templates, personnel handbooks, and employment-related policies

Communication & reporting

• Contribute to internal HR communications related to payroll and individual employee files (e.g. absenteeism, leave of absence, parental leaves, pay slips, etc.)
• Prepare data for employment and payroll audits, and management reporting
• Provide quality service advice and information to employees on social and salary matters
• Train employees and managers in the use of specific software & tracking processes for time and attendance, holidays, and sick leave, as well as on social law applicable for the region in scope

Projects & HR team support

• Contribute to HR projects such as payroll provider changes, HRIS, new payroll & employment set up, legal changes, leave administration, and more
• Act as an active back up for your Danish HR Operations Advisor and incidentally for other HR team members on general matters in the event of absence

This role will ideally be based out of our Oslo office, or potentially Stockholm, allowing for partial remote work and involving regular travel to other countries. You will directly report to our Group Human Resources Director, with a dotted line to the local Country Manager.

A great match for us

We are looking for a trustworthy team player, able to work independently in a systematic, quality-focused, and extremely organized approach.

This position requires the ability to manage multiple tasks simultaneously while maintaining an overall perspective, as well as a strong willingness to learn quickly and handle complex payroll calculations and data with accuracy. You will need to perform effectively under pressure, meet challenging deadlines, and manage demanding projects, all while demonstrating strong problem-solving skills. A keen orientation toward figures, and a commitment to data accuracy and quality work are needed, together with proactive follow-through, reliability toward customers, and a readiness to act on commitments are essential.

Given the international scope of the role, dedication and flexibility in working hours are required. The complexity of our business and the need for fast response times call for persistence and initiative. As you will be accountable for payroll matters, your presence during payroll periods each month is critical to ensuring the smooth and timely delivery of results.

We hope you have:

• Skills equivalent to a bachelor's degree, or 8-10 years relevant working experience specifically in payroll and employment law matters
• In-depth knowledge of social security, tax, and social legislation for the countries in scope
• Familiarity with global mobility concepts, including expatriate taxation and cross-border employment
• Impeccable ability to deal with confidentiality, highest integrity, and ethical standards
• Maturity and personal understanding to deal with people and compensation matters in a neutral and impartial way
• Proficiency in relevant IT tools such as payroll systems, HRIS systems, and advanced Office 365
• Previous experience with project management
• Understanding of, or interest in, the insurance business, as well as several related HR domains such as employee benefits
• Interest in keeping abreast with new regulatory changes and best practices in the field
• Full written and oral proficiency in both English and Norwegian
• A good understanding of Swedish and Danish is vital for the ability to draft legal documentation in those languages. Finnish is a bonus.

The most important attribute is your attitude and dedication to the job and to feel at home in an informal, entrepreneurial company culture where tools, structures, and processes are still under construction.

Please note that all international candidates must have valid residency and work permits for Norway in place before applying, including a Norwegian ID (Norsk identifikasjonsnummer) to be able to process employment matters with the local Norwegian regulator.
