Biltema offers a wide range of products for the whole family in the areas of Car/Motorcycle, Boat, Leisure, Home, Office/Technology, Construction, Car Care, and Tools. Biltema markets more than 19,000 items. Our vision is to make it easier for people to afford a car, boat, home, tools, and high-quality leisure products, thereby creating a richer leisure time for everyone. Biltema currently has a total of 161 stores in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland, of which 60 stores are in Sweden. Biltema is a strong brand in an exciting expansion, planning to open about 50 new stores in the Nordics in the coming years.

What you can expect from the position

As a Department Manager, you will be responsible for the Home and Leisure department of the store. This means you are the extended arm of the management team in the operations. 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 products suitable for end caps and cross-selling. Order and tidiness are among 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.

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 pick up products 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 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 pronounced service-oriented person with a customer focus. As a person, you enjoy taking responsibility, initiative, and have a sense for sales. For you, it is natural 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.

It is important that you have an interest in the product areas you will be responsible for within Biltema's assortment, and we therefore want you to share in your application which area you have knowledge of. Personal suitability will be highly valued as you, as a manager, must be communicative in both Swedish and English and possess the ability to convey the goal and the way to achieve it to your colleagues. It is also advantageous if you have previously held a leadership position.

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