What we offer

We offer you an interesting, responsible, challenging, and contributing role in the heart of Aalto's digitalization. Researchers and teachers are our key asset, so your work with efficient HR processes will have an impact on the results of Aalto University. Although you are responsible for your own area of work, we offer you support and coaching when you feel a need for it.

Aalto University puts great focus on employee wellbeing, offering flexible working time and location opportunities to suit your working style. We will work with you to form the best possible work experience during your employment at Aalto University

Great possibilities for competence development.

What we are looking for

Your experience and ambitions

You might be an accomplished expert in the area or a more junior with some experience in HR processes and solutions with a 'willing to learn and become an expert' attitude.

We value experience in:

  1. Modern SaaS HCM solutions.
  2. End-to-end HR process and solution understanding with an end-user value-driven approach.
  3. Excellent understanding of master data and integrations in service production.
  4. Hands-on experience in planning and specifying integrations.
  5. Project and change management.
  6. Delivering excellent results through collaboration.
  7. Ensuring compliance with data security and privacy regulations.

Additional skills we appreciate:

  1. Workday HCM suite.
  2. Courage to challenge existing ways of operation and processes.
  3. Analytical and conceptual thinking, innovation, ability to think outside the box.

As for your personal qualities

You have excellent social and cooperation skills, and you are able to communicate smoothly with both technical and business-minded co-workers and collaborators. You have an ability to influence others through your interactional skills and are able to sell your ideas to decision makers.

In order to succeed in our environment, you also need to be good at accommodating the various needs of different stakeholders, able to prioritize them, and further communicate your views in a diplomatic, yet confident manner. You should be able to endure uncertainty and handle confusing situations.

And…

Aalto University is an international working environment, so we expect you to have an excellent command of the English language. Finnish language skills are an advantage. An academic degree in a relevant field (e.g. information technology, information and service management, or business administration) will also help you to succeed in this position.

But…

More than anything, you need to be passionate about your field of work and enthusiastic about constantly innovating and learning new - much more than a long experience in the field.
