Vacant job

Do you want to grow in a role where you can develop, take responsibility, and be part of an engaged team? At Nordic Nest Group, you will have the opportunity to combine daily problem-solving with collaboration and structure – in an environment where a lot is happening and no day is like the other. As Assistant Department Lead in our returns department, you will play a vital role in keeping the flow going and always creating the world’s best customer experience. 

What does the role entail? As Assistant Department Lead, you are responsible for leading and inspiring the team and ensuring the daily operations of your department together with the Department Lead. You also support the Department Lead with operational tasks as needed to reach our goals in the most efficient way for the business.

Your main responsibilities;

• Work operationally with department-specific tasks together with the team.
• Coach, motivate, and inspire the team to create engagement and strengthen team spirit.
• Together with the Department Lead, ensure the daily operations of the department.
• Work towards continuous improvement in every aspect regarding quality, profitability, and efficiency.

Who are you? To succeed in this role, we see that you are a person who thrives in a busy environment – where you can combine leadership, structure, and a solution-focused approach. You are motivated by helping others grow and have a natural drive to improve workflows and processes. As a leader, you are present and communicative, and you are not afraid to roll up your sleeves and be part of the operational work when needed.

We also believe that you...

• Have a good ability to plan, prioritize, and create structure in a fast-paced environment
• Are unpretentious, attentive, and good at creating engagement in your team
• See opportunities in change and dare to try new ways of working
• Have previous experience in logistics, warehousing, or customer-facing operations
• Communicate fluently in Swedish and English, both verbally and in writing

If you also have experience leading others, even on a smaller scale, or have worked with returns management before, that is a plus – but above all, we are looking for the right personality and engagement!

Are you ready to become part of the team?

The position is a permanent full-time employment starting in August 2025. The location is at our warehouse in Kalmar.

We believe in the power of personal qualities, which is why we use personality tests early in the process.
