What to Expect from the Position

As a Department Manager, you will be responsible for the following departments in the store: Car, Car Care, and Chemical Room. This means you are the extended arm of the management team in the operations. The responsibility entails ensuring that the department is always well-organized, sales-oriented, and customer-ready with well-stocked and inviting shelves. You will create inspiring seasonal displays and suggest products suitable for end caps and cross-selling. Order and tidiness are among our core values, and in this role, you will ensure that signage and references are clear and correct. You will also be responsible for the department's inventory.

An important part of your role is to motivate and engage your colleagues and share your knowledge about the department's products. Together with your colleagues, you will restock items and coach them to provide Biltema's customers with the best possible service. You are a team player who values close collaboration with other department managers, where you are happy to exchange ideas and experiences. We hope you have a particular passion for your product areas and care about a safe environment for both customers and colleagues.
