HR Business Partner

TFS HealthScience is a global contract research organisation partnering with pharmaceutical and biotech companies to take new therapies through clinical development. Behind every study are people, and we are looking for an HR Business Partner who wants to make sure we have the right ones, in the right roles, ready for what comes next.

The role

As our HR Business Partner, you will work side by side with senior leaders as a trusted advisor, and you will have a real say in how our business grows. You see HR as a business lever: you understand what drives revenue, and you make sure our people decisions support it. You will also help shape how our HR team works going forward, using modern tools and AI to make HR faster, smarter and more valuable to the business. This role is based at our Lund office, so you will need to live in southern Sweden within commuting distance.

What you will do

• Partner with leaders on organisational development and change

• Shape strategic talent management and workforce planning, so we have the right capabilities for tomorrow's business

• Advise leaders on people matters, from performance and conflict to restructuring

• Lead succession planning and business continuity

• Develop our leaders and help them grow their teams

• Handle employment law matters and work with unions and works councils

• Strengthen TFS as a place where great people want to work

Who you are

You understand how a client services organisation grows, what its leaders are accountable for, and how people decisions affect performance and profitability. Leaders turn to you because you are credible, approachable and willing to challenge their thinking. You handle difficult conversations with integrity, respond to immediate needs without losing sight of longer term priorities, and stay open to better ways of working. You build trust across teams and borders in an international organisation.

What you bring

• Proven experience as an HR Business Partner, advising senior leaders at a strategic level

• Academic degree in Human Resources, Business Administration, Psychology, Law, or a related field.

• Strong commercial acumen, ideally from a client facing or service based business

• Solid knowledge of Swedish employment law

• Fluent English and Swedish

• Based in southern Sweden, within commuting distance of our Lund office

• A genuine interest in using data, digital tools and AI in HR

Nice to have

• Experience from life science, pharma or a CRO

Why join us

• Real influence, with direct access to senior leadership

• The chance to shape how HR supports a growing international business

• An international environment with the agility of a company still building its future

• Work that ultimately helps bring new treatments to patients
