With energy, courage and enthusiasm, Strawberry wants to create a better world. Want to help us with that?

Our People Specialist will go on parental leave and we are seeking the right person to take over her role while she is away. We are  looking for a person who, with great commitment, humor and a pragmatic attitude, wants to join us on an exciting journey. A trip that includes everything a good trip should do; good travel companions, exciting experiences, hotels, people, culture and not least; the unexpected. Are you looking for a company with a unique culture, where you get to develop and grow, where your ideas are listened to and where you get to be part of driving change? Then you should read on! 

Strawberry is an exciting company with more than 110 hotels in Norway, and almost 250 in the Nordics. We have won several awards over the years and like to be seen and heard. In addition to running hotels, we have a strong social commitment to issues that are important to us. Please read more about our WeCare program and social responsibility on our career page. 

The role is broad and you'll work closely with colleagues throughout the group - mainly managers but also our employees. You work for our Norwegian part of the company but belong to a larger Nordic People team where we collaborate across borders. 

You'll be specialized in People administration and support through our various People systems as well as developing processes giving our employees and leaders an even better experience. You'll administer courses and educational projects as well as contribute with recruitment support, and other support. You'll also act as managerial support within People, primarily to all our leaders at the hotels but also our head office. In short, the role is broad and you'll work with almost all areas of People.

The role means that on certain days you'll be very operational, while the next moment you'll have to work focused on more long-term tasks and projects. At Strawberry, we strongly believe that freedom creates results, and you therefore need to enjoy taking responsibility and work independently. The role reports to the Director of People Norway & Denmark. 

We would like you to check the following:

  • Relevant education from college or university
  • Fluent in Norwegian and English, written and verbally
  • At least 2-3 years of experience from administrative and operational People/HR work
  • Basic knowledge of Norwegian labor law - preferably both for operational workers and office workers. 
  • A "doer" who possesses the following personal qualities: Positive, committed, structured, communicative, solution-oriented and initiative-taking
  • Triggered by administrative work and succeeds in creating structure in the unstructured

We offer:

  • Challenging and developing tasks
  • A wonderful and unique work environment characterized by positivity and warmth
  • An opportunity to be part of the growth of one of the Nordic countries' most forward-looking companies
  • The hotel industry's best benefits
  • A beautiful and unique office centrally located at Frogner in Oslo

The position is temporary and full-time. Some business trips will occur. Do not wait to apply as the selection process is ongoing. Please contact Thea Sareisian Eilertsen, Director of People,  at thea.eilertsen@strawberry.no or Andrine Engeseth, People Specialist , at andrine.engeseth@strawberry.no if you have questions about the position.
