About you

You love food, people, and sales just as much as we do! For us, it doesn’t matter if you are a vegan or a meat lover, eating tacos on a Friday or a Tuesday. The great thing about you is that you are you. And that’s exactly what we are looking for.

• You are driven to inspire and engage your employees, you are good at creating a positive work environment and continuously developing your team.
• You thrive in results-oriented environments where the pace is high, you have a strong drive, good problem-solving skills, and are not afraid to make decisions when needed.
• You have good knowledge of store operations and are used to leading and working together in a team.

• You like people, put the customer’s needs first, and are good at getting people on board – both customers and employees.
• You are good at communicating and can develop your team and your store through feedback and coaching.
• You need to have previous experience in leadership roles in a service profession, and it is a clear advantage if you have experience in grocery retail.
