Senior HR Business Partner, Medical Technologies

About the role

Bittium is looking for a Senior HR Business Partner to lead the people agenda for its medical technology business. The role sits close to segment leadership as their counterpart on all people matters, and is suited to someone who forms their own view and speaks up when they disagree. It is a permanent position at the Espoo / Oulu site, with a hybrid working model.

Key responsibilities

• Own the people agenda for the segment: turn the medical technology strategy into workforce priorities, identify capability gaps and recommend how the organisation should be structured to close them.
• Ensure competence requirements, role definitions, training and records hold up in a regulated environment, working with quality and regulatory colleagues so HR fits with the quality management system.
• Own how the segment attracts and retains scarce specialists, covering positioning, sourcing strategy, retention and succession.
• Lead complex employment matters end to end, including change negotiations, performance and conduct issues, terminations and disputes, working with employee representatives and external counsel.
• Contribute to group-wide HR initiatives and harmonise HRD and people processes across Bittium, and act as a senior voice in the HR team.

Required profile

• Masters' or bachelor's degree in a relevant field, with current knowledge of HR practice.
• Substantial experience in demanding HR roles, including several years as an HR Business Partner supporting senior leadership.
• Proven track record in organisational development, talent management, succession planning and leadership development.
• Experience in an international organisation and comfort working across jurisdictions.
• Fluent Finnish and English, with the ability to influence at leadership level in both.
• Advantageous: experience in medical technology, pharmaceuticals or diagnostics, familiarity with competence and training requirements under a quality management system, experience recruiting for regulatory, clinical or quality roles, and a background in the technology or industrial sector.

Required skills

• Deep knowledge of Finnish employment law and collective agreements, with hands-on experience leading change negotiations.
• Confidence with HR systems and data, using evidence to build arguments.
• Ability to balance strategic work with hands-on delivery and to hold a position under pressure while keeping relationships intact.

What we offer

• A permanent position at the Espoo / Oulu site with a hybrid working model.
• The chance to work in a business where technology, regulation and people work closely together, with decisions visible in products reaching patients and clinicians.
