Do you want to be part of Biltema and the family store?

If so, you now have the opportunity to join us on the journey at our new store in Örnsköldsvik. Biltema was founded in 1963 as a mail-order company focused on car parts and now has no less than 62 stores in Sweden with over 2,000 employees. In addition to a strong expansion rate with new stores in the Nordic region, the product range has also expanded from car parts to over 19,000 items in categories such as home, leisure, construction, tools, office, technology, and of course cars and car care.

What you can expect from Biltema

We offer a challenging job in an expanding company with great development opportunities! Our core values of Simplicity, Frugality, Initiative, Orderliness, and Flexibility permeate our entire operation. We view internal mobility positively and therefore prefer to recruit our own staff for vacant positions.

What you can expect from the position

As a Department Manager, you will be responsible for one of the store's departments, such as Car/Car Care, Construction/Tools, or Home/Leisure. This means you are the extension of the management team out in the operation. The responsibility entails ensuring that the department is always well-maintained, sales-oriented, and customer-ready with well-stocked and inviting shelves. You will create inspiring seasonal displays, suggest which products are suitable for end caps and cross-selling. Orderliness is one of 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.

A key 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 gladly exchange ideas and experiences.

We are looking for employees for full-time and part-time positions with varying degrees of employment.

Working hours vary and include evenings and weekends. Salary will be set according to agreement.

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 pronounced service-oriented person with a focus on the customer. As a person, you enjoy taking responsibility, initiative, and have a knack for sales. For you, it is a given 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 environment where new perspectives are pursued. Knowledge of Swedish and English is a requirement.

It is important that you have an interest in the product areas you will be responsible for within Biltema's range, and we therefore want you to specify in your application which area you have knowledge of. Personal suitability will be given great importance, as you need to be able to convey the goal and the path to your colleagues. It is also advantageous if you have previously held a leadership position.

Information about the process

The interest in working at Biltema tends to be high when we open a brand new store, and we therefore invite you to a speed interview. We primarily communicate via email, so make sure to keep an eye on your inbox as well as your spam folder just in case. If you are one of those who receives an invitation, we would like a confirmation from you to keep your interview time.
