Become part of a vital chain and contribute to our common goal of making people’s lives better. Octapharma is one of the largest human protein manufacturers in the world, developing and producing medicines sourced from human plasma and human cell lines. We are a privately-owned company, where the warmth of family meets the scale of a global organisation.

Octapharma AB is located in northwestern Kungsholmen in Stockholm and has approximately 1,100 employees.

Join us in shaping our vision to provide new health solutions advancing human life.

This position is tied to the 2-year International Early Career Program, that can support you to kick-start a career at Octapharma via international intra-group rotations and developmental sessions. See more program information here.

This position is based at our production site in Stockholm, and during the first two years you will take part in 2–3 rotations of approximately 1–3 months each at our other production sites in Europe.

Your main tasks and responsibilities

• Act as the local system owner for SAP SuccessFactors and related HR applications, including configuration, maintenance and hands-on support
• Manage operational configuration of modules such as Onboarding, Recruiting, Compensation and Employee Central, including testing and implementing local change requests in close collaboration with Group HRIS
• Extract and interpret data from HR systems (e.g., SAP, HRM) to generate meaningful insights and use HR KPIs and dashboards to support strategic decision-making across the organization
• Support system integrations (e.g., SAP-based interfaces) and contribute to GDPR, DPL and other data-privacy compliance requirements
• Lead local HRIS projects and collaborate closely with Group HRIS, Local IT and HR while contributing to the ongoing development of HRIS and AI-driven solutions

Your expertise and ideal skill set

• Recent university graduate within HR (preferably with IT/system/data focus) or in fields such as Information Systems or Business Administration with an interest in HR processes
• Up to 3 years of relevant work experience (excluding internships) ideally including exposure to HR systems, project management or service-oriented environments
• Strong communication skills with a collaborative, proactive and service-oriented mindset
• Structured, responsible and able to drive tasks to completion
• Willingness to relocate internationally for short-term rotations as part of the Early Career Program
• Fluency in Swedish and English

HR Unit - where you make an impact

• You will be part of the HR team, responsible for supporting the organization in areas such as recruitment, payroll, employee benefits, work environment, succession planning, and competence and talent development
• Ensure that our colleagues and the wider organization collaborate effectively in our joint efforts toward our vision
• Develop employee‑related processes
• With us, you will find a warm and familiar atmosphere where people connect, have fun, support each other, and work together
• The department consists of 13 people, and you report to the Senior Director Human Resources

My experience in the International Early Career Program has been one of the most meaningful steps in my professional growth. With a background in Chemical Engineering and a home role in QC IT, I didn’t expect that part of my rotation would lead me into HR IS but it became an incredibly valuable chapter of my journey. Supporting the coordination of Octapharma’s Corporate Sustainability Report gave me new insight into how our organization works on a broader level and showed me the impact of cross‑functional collaboration. Although my home position is in a different area than this role, I can genuinely recommend the program to anyone who is curious, driven, and eager to develop. IECP is a unique opportunity to explore new perspectives, grow your skills, and discover possibilities you might not have imagined at the start.
