• Support managers in preparing structured, transparent employee dialogues and develop individual transition plans
• Coordinate relevant internal and external stakeholders (such as P&C Business Partners, Labour Relations, Redeployment, Talent Acquisition, Learning & Development, TRR, and external partners)
• Explore transition alternatives including internal mobility, reskilling, upskilling, redeployment, study leave, voluntary solutions, and external career transitions
• Monitor case progress alongside managers and P&C to ensure clarity, ownership, and timely follow-ups
• Contribute to improving methods, templates, processes, and overall ways of working within the career change framework

Your qualities

To succeed in this role, you bring an analytical, structured, and proactive approach to complex individual situations. You possess strong communication, advisory, and stakeholder management skills, combined with sound people judgment and high integrity when handling sensitive information. Furthermore, you are solution-oriented and have a strong ability to balance individual employee needs, business requirements, and established processes.
