HR Specialist
Turn HR data into insight, improve global processes and shape rewards at EG - balancing hands-on operations with projects that make HR work smarter.
Play a key role in shaping data, process and rewards excellence in EG's HR Operational Excellence team
Do you get a kick out of turning HR data into insight? Are you the person who cannot help but see how a process could run smoother – and who enjoys making that happen? And do you thrive working closely with stakeholders across a global organization? Then you might be the person we are looking for.
As part of the department
EG has scaled fast – 45 acquisitions in six years, and today we are more than 3,000 people across 10 countries. You will join HR Operational Excellence, a global team responsible for HR Operations, Total Rewards, and HR Analytics across EG. We are a team of 9, with colleagues based in Denmark and India, working closely together across time zones. You will be based in our Ballerup office and report to Majse Latsch Jespersen, Head of HR Operational Excellence, who reports to our Head of HR.
EG is a company on the move – we grow, we acquire, and our HR processes and data need to keep pace. That means your day-to-day will mix steady operational work with new challenges as the business evolves.
Your role: Driving Rewards, Optimising Operations, and Partnering Across HR
As our new HR Specialist, you will work broadly across our team's core areas rather than in a narrow lane – splitting your time between hands-on daily operations (recurring reporting, ongoing rewards and HR Ops activities) and driving the projects that improve them. You will need to enjoy both, and shift between them comfortably. Your tasks will include:
• Contributing to our annual salary review cycle – from data preparation and analysis to process improvements
• Helping bring the EU Pay Transparency Directive over the finish line, then driving the ongoing reporting and compliance work that follows in close collaboration with our HR Legal team
• Supporting compensation benchmarking and job levelling/salary band work – preparing data and guidance material
• Supporting incentive and bonus processes — maintaining incentive models and ensuring accurate reporting as underlying systems evolve
• Collaborating with Finance on building and improving HR dashboards, reports and KPIs – and making sure the data displayed is validated
• Spotting inefficiencies in HR processes and contribute to the redesign and optimization of how we work, including exploring automation and AI in our core HR operations
• Supporting HR integration work when EG acquires new companies
• Partnering closely with colleagues across HR, Finance, IT and the business globally – to get initiatives across the line
• Driving day-to-day activities in the HR Operational Excellence team and picking up ad hoc projects
You Are the Ideal Candidate If
You have a minimum of 2 years of experience from an HR role. What matters most here is that you are analytically sharp, genuinely curious, and comfortable teaching yourself new subject areas. Prior exposure to Total Rewards is a real plus, but we are just as interested in candidates with a strong HR data/reporting or process improvement background who pick things up quickly and are self-driven.
You likely hold a relevant master's degree in HR, Business, Economics or a similarly analytical field – or a bachelor's degree paired with solid relevant experience. If your background is more technical (engineering, IT, or similar) and you have since built up relevant HR experience, we would still love to hear from you – strong analytical thinking matters as much as the label on your degree.
• You are genuinely comfortable with data – Excel is second nature, and you may have worked with BI tools or an HRIS
• You are a self-starter who is comfortable researching and figuring things out independently
• You are curious about AI and how it can be applied to HR – some hands-on experience is a plus, and as an IT company, we are always looking to push this further
• You are structured and able to independently plan and drive projects to completion
• You are naturally curious about how processes work, and you do not shy away from asking 'why do we do it this way?'
• You build relationships easily and communicate clearly with stakeholders at all levels
• You are fluent in both Danish and English, spoken and written
What's in it for you?
A Scandinavian culture built on trust, autonomy, and no politics – in a truly international environment.
Real ownership – You'll own real deliverables from day one, from salary review data to Pay Transparency compliance, with the freedom to shape how the work gets done.
Meaningful impact – Your work shapes how more than 3,000 colleagues across 10 countries are paid, levelled, and treated fairly, and keeps EG ahead of new regulation like the EU Pay Transparency Directive.
Collaborative culture – You'll be part of a close, global team of 9 across Denmark and India, where speaking up and challenging how we do things is expected.
Our Values
• Lead the Industry – We bring deep industry expertise and help our customers lead their industry.
• Make it Happen – We take ownership, move fast and deliver real impact.
• Stronger Together – We collaborate across borders with high standards, trust, openness and no politics.
We look forward to hearing from you!
