Career Counselor to Naval Base Korsør (Personnel Command)

Do you want to play a central role in the rollout of the Armed Forces' new staffing and career system, and do you thrive at the intersection of administrative processes and strong relationships?

We are looking for a structured and outgoing colleague for our team in Korsør. Your task will be to secure the administrative and data foundation under the new HR system, which the Armed Forces will seriously roll out from autumn 2026. If you are strong in data handling, coordination and follow-up – and at the same time passionate about guiding managers and employees in new processes – then you might be the one we need!

About us

You will become part of the HR partner section for the Navy, which organizationally belongs to the Personnel Command (PKOM). The section consists of one section head, six HR partners and 11 career counselors, equally distributed between Fleet Station Korsør, Fleet Station Frederikshavn and Air Station Karup. Although the section is geographically spread, we seek a close and strong everyday community both physically and virtually.

We place great emphasis on knowledge sharing, mutual support and an informal, respectful tone. While the career counselors focus on process facilitation and dialogue-based career development, the HR partners provide local leadership support and HR advice – two functions that are expected to merge even more over time.

About the position

We have left the preparations behind and are now solidly in the implementation phase, where the Navy's new HR system must be translated into concrete career paths for Navy employees. As a career counselor, you will be the driving force in facilitating and administering the entire process at Navy authorities. You will be responsible for tying together the threads before, during and after the central personnel meetings.

Your primary tasks will be

• Collect, validate and analyze data to be used for the authority chief's personnel meetings (including data from employees' career wishes).
• Be responsible for the administrative planning, coordination and facilitation of local personnel meetings at the Navy's squadrons, including preparing agendas, minutes and ensuring follow-up.
• Plan and conduct team-based inspiration presentations and activities for Navy employees at different service locations – e.g., Korsør, Frederikshavn or Karup.
• Advise managers and employees on the principles and tools of the new HR system

You enter a daily life where your work has a direct and visible impact on employees' career paths from day one.

Workplace and travel activity: Your fixed place of work will be Fleet Station Korsør. We offer flexibility with the option of one home office day per week when tasks permit. Since we collaborate nationwide, you should expect up to 30 travel days per year for monthly meetings, seminars and presentations outside the office. You should expect business trips to, among others, the Faroe Islands and Greenland, where Navy sailing units operate, may occur.

About you

Your personality, curiosity and commitment are crucial for us. You must be motivated to learn new things, and you thrive in an environment where plans sometimes need to be adjusted along the way. You are good at building trust and creating relationships across disciplines and levels.

We imagine that you have a vocational education with experience in administrative processes, or a medium/long higher education with insight into HR, process facilitation or labor market conditions. It is a great advantage if you already have knowledge of the Armed Forces' organization, culture and structure.

We are looking for a colleague who

• Can work independently, but at the same time actively contribute to the team's overall task solving.
• Have a structured approach and work systematically with data (experience with Excel and system understanding is a plus).
• Are strong in written and spoken communication – and able to write precise minutes.
• Can keep an overview in a varied daily life with many different tasks.

We ensure that you are well equipped with a tailored onboarding program, HR partner training and a fixed mentor to help you get started.
