We are all different. And that's wonderful! We do not hire people based on a specific mold but based on who you are. For us, drive and personality are more important than experience and background. We are doing well, and we are growing rapidly. Now we are looking for more happy employees with the right attitude and a desire to develop!

Position: Full-time temporary position.

Start date: 2026-01-02 or by agreement.

Requirements: Secondary education, good knowledge of Swedish (spoken and written). We welcome applicants of all ages, but referring to the Swedish Work Environment Authority's regulations AFS 2023:2 chapter 8 and appendix 2, we do not hire individuals under 18 years of age due to the nature of the work tasks. You need to have previous experience in leadership roles, preferably in retail.

The fresh produce department is a very important part of our store, and as the Fresh Team Leader, you have a key role in the store.

Here is a bit more about the position:

• 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 the fresh produce team and are therefore responsible for recruitment, scheduling, and onboarding.
• You lead, motivate, and develop your team and contribute to employees developing and performing to their full potential.
• You are a role model in the work to welcome all our customers and meet them with knowledge, sensitivity, and a big smile.

About you

You love food, people, and sales just as much as we do! For us, it doesn't matter if you are 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 is 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 do not shy away from making decisions when necessary.
• You have good knowledge of store operations and are used to leading and working together in a team.
• Since the fresh produce department is such an important part of our store, 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 daily life 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 in the grocery retail sector.
