Job Description
About the Role
Nscale is expanding fast, and Nordics are a key part of that growth. This role owns People Operations for the Nordic hub and, while based there, is a genuinely global role: the immediate mandate is to build a solid operational foundation globally and adapt to local specifics where applicable.
Your immediate priority is to take a hands-on approach: partner with the local People Partner and the global Payroll Team to stabilize time and attendance. You will also evaluate the introduction of new systems to support the hub, while ensuring Nordic operations comply with local employment laws and align with Nscale’s global People processes.
What You'll be Doing
- Time & Attendance: Partner with the local People Partner and the global Payroll team to diagnose and fix current issues in time and attendance, and put a stable, accurate process in place.
- Systems Implementation: Lead the introduction of new People systems and improvement of existing ones such as Workday for the Nordic hub, and globally.
- Managing employee lifecycle: Ensure the Nordic hub meets the employment law and local regulatory requirements, while aligning to Nscale’s global People processes.
- Statutory Reporting: Manage statutory HR reporting requirements under Norwegian law (NAV).
- Hands-On Foundation Building: Own day-to-day People Operations admin that isn’t yet automated while actively identifying what should be streamlined or automated next.
Requirements
- You have 5-8 years of experience in People Operations, ideally in a fast-growing tech or start-up environment.
- You possess a strong working knowledge of Norwegian and Nordic employment law and compliance requirements.
- You are fluent in Norwegian and hold a Norwegian social security or D number.
- You have experience working closely with Payroll, specifically on time and attendance or similar payroll-impacting processes.
- You have a proven track record of introducing or implementing new People systems.
- You demonstrate a genuine start-up mentality with the ability to balance hands-on manual work with long-term process building.
