KNI A/S in Sisimiut is seeking an HRD Manager, starting on March 1, 2026, or by further agreement.

The HRD Manager reports to the Director of HR, Communication & Sustainability and works closely with both the director and the HR manager. You will be part of the HRD department with a total of 3 employees and will also collaborate closely with a total of 12 colleagues across HR.

The HRD department continuously develops and implements new developmental projects for the entire KNI A/S. We want to be an important player in the Greenlandic community with vital service tasks and to be a training and workplace for skilled and development-oriented people with a global perspective and business understanding.

For HRD, it is important that there is a common clarity within the team about the company's business goals, plans, and challenges in both the short and long term – and about what the organization must be able to deliver, understood as organizational competencies, such as increased customer focus, increased mobility, and increased cost awareness.

HRD must ensure a common understanding and application of a strong connection between HRD initiatives and business needs, so that the organization is equipped to deliver on KNI's goals and results.

As HRD Manager, your primary tasks will be:

· Student administration and support for student mentors along the entire coast

· Planning, initiation, and coordination of new initiatives across the organization

· Participation in diverse HR and HRD projects

· Contribute to ESG-related initiatives within the HR area – experience with ESG is an advantage, but not a requirement, as skills can be developed in the position in collaboration with the HR manager and the director.

We want the position filled by a person who:

· Has a relevant academic education or solid work experience in HR and/or competency development

· Has experience working strategically and translating strategy into practice

· Is versatile, responsible, open, has a positive outlook on life, and is a team player.

· Has an overview and can work across departments and fields.

· Can work independently and proactively as well as contribute with new ideas

To the right applicant, we offer:

· Salary based on qualifications on individual terms

· For external applications, housing can be made available for which rent and deposit, utilities, etc. are paid according to applicable regulations.
