About ustwo
ustwo is an award-winning digital product studio with 125+ people in London, Malmö, New York, Portugal, and Tokyo. For over 20 years, we've helped companies grow through digital products that are meaningful, beautiful, and easy to use.
People are at the heart of everything we do. Our ways of working reflect a culture of care, creativity, and collaboration.
We're now hiring a Senior People & Operations Partner to join our Malmö studio and play a key role locally while contributing to global People initiatives.
As Senior People & Operations Partner, you’ll lead People operations in Sweden and support the Malmö team day to day. You’ll be the first point of contact for Malmö-based employees, managing everything from payroll and compliance to culture and career development.
You'll also collaborate with our global People team on cross-regional initiatives (like reporting, policy development, and process improvements) to help us stay aligned and evolving as one global company.
Location
Our Malmo studio is highly attended, and although it is not mandatory, we would prefer to hire a candidate who is comfortable being in person in the Malmo studio at least 3 days a week. There are some who attend 5 days a week so it is a lively environment and we feel it really supports this role in particular.
Key Responsibilities
This is a hands-on, globally connected role with a local focus on supporting the Malmö studio. You’ll be part of our global People team, working together to shape great experiences across ustwo, while being the first point of contact for the Malmö team.

Manage Malmö payroll and compliance
Oversee monthly payroll in partnership with our local provider. Make sure we stay compliant with Swedish employment law, GDPR, immigration processes, insurance and pension, and workplace regulations. You’ll also contribute to global compliance work and documentation.
Champion growth and development
Help employees and managers navigate career and performance conversations. Make sure people have access to regular feedback, learning opportunities, and support for their growth.
Own local benefits and support global reward
Be the main point of contact for Swedish benefits, ensuring they’re clear, competitive, and fit for purpose. You’ll also support global reward projects like salary reviews, budgeting, and compensation planning.
Contribute to global People projects
Work closely with the global People team on shared initiatives like employee engagement, policy development, people data, reporting, and process improvements.
