SSC Space also has one of the world’s largest global networks of ground stations for satellite communications. We own and operate the Esrange Space Center in Kiruna, northern Sweden, with the aim of launching satellites in the near future.   

Are you motivated by finding the right people, creating a strong candidate experience and helping hiring managers make better recruitment decisions? 

If you answer yes to these questions, we invite you to seize the opportunity to make a significant impact as a Talent Acquisition Partner in our team. We are looking for a curious and driven person who shares our core values of Customer passion, Care, Collaboration, Curiosity, and Courage. 

As our Talent Acquisition Partner, you will manage recruitments from start to finish in close collaboration with hiring managers across SSC Space in Sweden. While the positions are based in Sweden, you will work with candidates from around the world and collaborate with hiring managers located both in Sweden and internationally. The role combines a high volume of operational recruitment with targeted sourcing for technical and specialist positions.  
This is an opportunity to further develop your recruitment skills in an international company with complex competence needs. Your main focus will be interviewing, sourcing, stakeholder management and recruitment planning, while continuously identifying ways to improve how we work. 

Requirements

We believe you have:

  • A structured way of working and the ability to plan, prioritize and follow up on several parallel processes. 
  • A genuine interest in developing your skills further within recruitment, interviewing and sourcing. 

A relevant academic background is valuable but not a requirement.  
To thrive in this role, you need to enjoy the practical, day-to-day work of recruitment. You take responsibility for keeping processes moving, build trust with both hiring managers and candidates, follow up when needed and you are comfortable giving clear recommendations to hiring managers.  

Responsibilities

In this role, you will: 
  • Manage end-to-end recruitment processes for SSC Space in Sweden, from the initial meeting with the hiring manager through competency-based interviews and selection to the final offer.
  • Work closely with hiring managers, providing clear recommendations, setting expectations and supporting them in making well-informed recruitment decisions. 
  • Manage a high volume of parallel recruitments while maintaining structure, momentum and quality throughout each process. 
  • Proactively source candidates for critical and hard-to-fill positions. 
  • Build and maintain relevant candidate pipelines for recurring and business-critical competence needs. 
  • Ensure a professional, consistent and engaging experience for both candidates and hiring managers. 
  • Follow up recruitment goals and contribute insights based on recruitment data and day-to-day experience. 
  • Participate in employer branding initiatives, student relations and other recruitment-related activities. 
  • Collaborate with colleagues in HR and our international Talent Acquisition community. 

Benefits

We offer you 
  • Exposure to a broad range of roles, from software engineers and technical specialists to project managers and leaders working with advanced space technology. 
  • A unique insight into one of the world’s most exciting industries, where the people you recruit contribute to satellite communications, rocket and balloon missions, engineering services and the future of European access to space. 
  • An international workplace with skilled and passionate colleagues, an open atmosphere and proud employees around the world. 
  • A role where you will learn quickly, take on meaningful responsibility and develop together with the organization.
Additional benefits  
  • In addition to vacation and traditional public holidays, we offer extra paid leave throughout the year, such as time off between Christmas and New Year, Ascension Day, amounting to 6-11 extra days depending on the calendar.  
  • Wellness allowance of SEK 5,000 per year. 
  • Health benefits such as voluntary health insurance and regular health checks for eligible employees.  
  • Access to a benefit bike through a tax-efficient leasing program.
