About us

We are a fast-growing AI startup that builds tools to help society withstand and adapt to security threats, natural disasters, extreme weather, and other risks. Our platform enables simulation, scenario planning, incident management, and early warning, and is used in environments where availability, robustness, and security are critical.

We're still building the foundations of our People and Culture function. This is an exciting opportunity to build it from the ground up and shape how we hire, develop, and support our people as the company grows.

About the role

This is a unique opportunity to own and shape our People function from day one. For the foreseeable future, you will lead the function end to end, with full ownership across all areas. From recruitment and onboarding to policies, compensation, systems, and culture, you'll create the foundations that enable us to scale without losing what makes us a great place to work. You will move between hands-on daily execution and longer-term, strategic decisions, often in the same day.

You will report directly to the COO and act as the go-to people partner for every manager and employee in the company.We see HR as an enabler, not a gatekeeper. You'll work in close partnership with managers, taking the time to understand the business and our culture, and introducing ways of working that make life easier – not more complex.

What you will do

Build the foundation

Set up the HR systems, tooling and payroll we'll need as we grow, ensuring employee data is handled correctly and in line with GDPR.

Hire and Onboard the team

Own recruitment end to end, with talent acquisition as a key focus, and partner with managers on workforce planning and employer branding in a competitive AI market.

Support managers and employees

Handle employee relations and ensure compliance with Swedish employment law (LAS), collective agreements and any related negotiations (e.g. MBL) where applicable.

Own work-environment responsibility (arbetsmiljö), including preventive work and rehabilitation processes.

Grow and reward our people

Build compensation and benefits structures, including salary benchmarking and, where relevant, our options/equity programme.

Support performance management, employee development and engagement initiatives.

What we are looking for

This role is well suited to someone who enjoys variety, thrives in a fast-moving environment, and is comfortable things are still taking shape. You're excited by the opportunity to build something from the ground up and prefer creating new ways of working over maintaining established processes.You listen first, take the time to understand the business, and introduce processes where they create real value.

We are looking for someone with:

Several years of broad, hands-on HR / people generalist experience, ideally including a standalone or sole-HR role.

Experience in a startup or fast-scaling company.
Good knowledge of Swedish employment law and core HR practices.

Strong recruitment experience and a genuine interest in talent acquisition.

The ability to prioritise across a broad range of responsibilities and work independently with a high degree of ownership.

A pragmatic, hands-on approach, with the ability to balance strategic thinking with day-to-day execution.

Fluent in Swedish and English

Practicalities

Location: this is an on-site role at our office, we believe being together in person is part of what makes the culture and the build phase work, especially at this stage of our growth.
Application deadline: 16 July.We review applications on an ongoing basis, so we encourage you to apply as soon as possible.

What we offer

Competitive compensation and long-term upside in a company with strong growth and a clear public-benefit purpose.

A flexible work environment with a broad mandate to make an impact, where you'll have the opportunity to build and develop the security function in close collaboration with management, product, and engineering.

Important information

For final candidates, we conduct an in-depth background check through an external provider. The role is subject to security clearance.

Why join us

You will shape the people function of an AI company at the most formative point in its growth — the systems, the culture and the team you build will define how our next employees experience the company. You will have unusual ownership and visibility, work closely with leadership, and see the direct impact of your work every day. If you want a role where what you build genuinely matters, this is it.

Sound like you? We would love to hear from you!
