Our People Specialist will move on to the next adventure and we are seeking the right person to take over her role. 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 19 hotels in Finland, and almost 250 in the Nordics. We have won several awards both in Finland and Nordics over the years and like to be seen and heard.

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 administrative, while the next moment you'll have to work focused on more long-term tasks and projects in a fast paced and changing environment.

We offer:

  • 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 modern office centrally located in Helsinki
