Coop Norrbotten is a retail cooperative owned by approximately 155,000 members in Norrbotten. The association has 43 stores/supermarkets, about 740 employees, and a gross turnover of approximately 3.3 billion kronor. Stores are located from Kiruna in the north to Piteå in the south. The service office is located at Storheden in Luleå.

Coop Norrbotten is one of Norrbotten's largest employers with many challenging jobs. We are in an exciting transformation journey to meet the future food customers just as well and naturally in our physical stores as on Coop.se.

The ongoing transformation involves many challenges but also opportunities. And you are never alone. If there is one thing we are particularly proud of, it is our employees. By successfully recruiting many competent employees, we work together towards the future.

Coop is unique! It is easy to think that all grocery stores are the same. The same products on the shelves, the same shopping carts, and the checkout at the exit. But Coop is different because we are owned by our approximately 4 million members. That is what makes us unique. It also gives us a greater responsibility, but also greater opportunities.

Coop is one of Sweden's largest employers, and we are driven by the task of giving everyone access to good food. We are in an exciting transformation journey to be the good force in food Sweden. We will simplify everyday life and give everyone access to good ingredients – something that is good for both body, soul, and our environment.

Coop has long been at the forefront and realized the importance of ecological thinking. Our fish is certified, the hens are free-range, and our own brand Änglamark has been designated Sweden's Greenest Brand - but our journey does not end there.

Together with our employees, we work every day with our customers to continue to be the best at sustainable development, and now we are investing even more in spreading joy in food and more love for good ingredients.

Together we can and will be the good force in food Sweden!

We value the qualities that a balanced age and gender distribution, as well as ethnic and cultural diversity, bring to the organization.
