What to Expect from the Position

As a Department Manager, you will be responsible for the following departments in the store: Leisure, Bicycle, Home, and Office/Multimedia. This means you are the extended arm of the management team in the operations. Your responsibility includes 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, suggest which products are suitable for the ends of aisles, and promote cross-selling. Order and tidiness are among our core values, and in this role, you will ensure that signage and references are clear and accurate. 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 the best possible service to Biltema's customers. 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 special passion for your product areas and care about creating a safe environment for both customers and colleagues.

What We Expect from You

We are looking for someone who has worked in retail for a couple of years and wants to take the next step in sales. You are a dedicated service person who focuses on the customer. As a person, you enjoy taking responsibility, initiative, and have a sense for sales. It is natural for you to go the extra mile to achieve results. You also have an eye for sales displays and effective product placement. Challenges motivate you, and you thrive in a fast-paced work environment where new perspectives are sought.

It is important that you have an interest in the product areas you will be responsible for within Biltema's range, and we would like you to mention in your application which area you have knowledge of. Personal suitability will be highly valued, as you must be communicative in both Swedish and English and possess the ability to convey the goal and the path to your colleagues. It is also an advantage if you have previously held a leadership position.

Of course, you share Biltema's values: Simplicity, Frugality, Proactivity, Order and Tidiness, and Flexibility.
