The new Willys store will open in the fall of 2025, and we are now looking for team leaders. As a team leader at Willys, you play a key role in your store.

Here’s a bit more about the position:

• You are part of the store's management team, with the store manager as your immediate supervisor, and you lead and plan the operations in your team. Of course, you actively participate in the daily operational store work – you can expect to get many steps on your pedometer!

• You work purposefully to develop the store's sales, profitability, and other important key figures. You also participate in the work of developing and following up the store's business plan.

• You have personnel responsibility for the employees in your team and are therefore responsible for recruitment, scheduling, and onboarding.

About us

Not everyone is suited to work with us. But many find it fun! For us, the right attitude and willingness to develop are more important than experience and education. With us, you will work alongside a whole team of great personalities with different backgrounds, skills, and perspectives.

Here’s a bit more about us:

• There are clear routines and structures in place, which frees up time for you to focus on developing your team and your department.

• You will be offered many ways to grow and develop in your leadership role. The majority of our store managers have once worked as team leaders.

• Willys is one of the industry's most successful companies, and we continue to grow. And as we grow, you can too – within your own area of responsibility or others, in-store, in the warehouse, or in the office.

• Willys is also part of the Axfood family, a group with a variety of companies and operations, with many different career paths and development opportunities. Through the Axfood Academy, we can offer our employees a range of different training.

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 you continuously develop your team.

• You thrive in result-oriented environments where the pace is high, you have a strong drive, good problem-solving skills, and you don’t shy away from making decisions when needed.

• You have good knowledge of store operations and are used to leading and working together in a team.

• It is important that you, like us, have high ambitions, are meticulous, and have a very high level of structure and planning.

• You enjoy challenges and see opportunities instead of difficulties in a day-to-day that often presents varying conditions and unforeseen events.

• 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 from grocery retail.
