We are looking for an experienced HR Business Partner to play a central role in the transformation of Demant Group Services and help shape the future of HR partnering across Demant. Part of Group Services are IT, Finance, HR and our Corporate Functions.

In this role you will partner with senior leaders to translate the Group Services strategy into the organization, capabilities, leadership and workforce needed to deliver it. You will be instrumental in driving organizational effectiveness, supporting major transformation initiatives and helping leaders create simpler, more scalable and effective organizations. In this role you will also have 3 HR Business Partners reporting to you.

This transformation requires more than new processes and technology. It requires the right organization, capabilities and leadership to make change sustainable. This is where you come in.

Welcome to Group Services

You will join Demant Group Services as a strategic partner to CFO René Schneider and become part of the Group Services Leadership Team.

Group Services is on a significant transformation journey. We are strengthening technology adoption, driving cost effectiveness, simplifying the employee experience, enabling faster integration of acquisitions and moving towards more standardized and scalable operating models across our functional areas.

You will work closely with functional leaders to make organizational choices that will enable Group Services to deliver its strategy — while also helping strengthen HR partners with leaders across Demant.

Shape the organization of tomorrow

You will bring an organizational perspective to strategic decisions and help senior leaders continuously improve how their organizations operate.

A key part of your role will be challenging complexity and asking the fundamental questions: Are we organized in the right way? Do we have the capabilities we need? Is accountability clear? Are decisions being made at the right level? And are we building organizations that are simple, scalable and fit for the future?

You will work across the boundaries of HR and the business, connecting strategy, organization, leadership, talent and workforce priorities. You will also help strengthen the HR Business Partner community across Demant by creating greater alignment, sharing practices and building collective capability.

In this role, you will:

• Enable transformation – Partner with leaders on major technology, efficiency and operating-model changes, helping translate transformation ambitions into organizational change and ensuring sustainable implementation and value realization.
• Drive organizational effectiveness – Challenge complexity, duplication, unclear accountability and unnecessary organizational layers, helping leaders create simpler, more scalable and effective organizations.
• Build future capabilities – Lead strategic workforce and talent discussions to identify the leadership, skills and critical capabilities required to deliver the Group Services strategy.
• Strengthen leadership effectiveness – Advise and challenge senior leaders on organization, leadership-team effectiveness, engagement, decision-making and collaboration.
• Strengthen HR Business Partnering across Demant – Help establish a more aligned approach to the HR Partner role across Demant entities, creating greater clarity and consistency while allowing for relevant business and local differences.
• Build HR partnering capability – Facilitate alignment, share practices and strengthen the collective capability of the HR Business Partner community across Demant.
• Turn people data into action – Drive accurate reporting on people data to enable follow-through on Group Services people targets and identify relevant development initiatives.

By joining Demant, you will step into a highly visible role where your ability to connect business strategy, organization and people will directly influence how Group Services evolves and how HR creates value across Demant.

• Experience working with development of HR Business Partner capabilities across a global organization.
• Analytical and commercial thinking, with the ability to turn strategy and data into practical organizational choices and actions.
