Vacant job

Coop is in an exciting phase of development and we are now looking for an Assistant Store Manager for our lovely store in Kiruna Centrum.

Customers in our stores should not only be met with good products at good prices; we also want them to experience food inspiration, interesting events, surprises, and above all, a personal welcome from all our staff. True success is built on the fact that we love our jobs and show genuine care and joy for our customers!

As Assistant Store Manager, you will share responsibility for all aspects of the store with the Store Manager, and above all, you will coach the sales staff in their daily work. Does this sound like an interesting challenge? If so, please state in your application why this role suits you.

Your duties as Assistant Store Manager also include working together with the Store Manager to:

• Create the best customer experience by actively and daily working on customer interactions in dialogue with colleagues
• Be an engaged member of the store's management team
• Take responsibility for continuous development and improvement work in the store – using business planning and the store efficiency program
• Monitor sales and key figures, and work to involve all employees
• Sales plan and follow up together with department managers
• Contribute to good teamwork and work with feedback

The position also includes all regular sales duties found in the store, such as sales, picking, merchandising, and cash register work.

The position is permanent, 35 hours/week. We are open when our customers want to shop, so working hours may vary – days, evenings, and weekends.

• Experience and competence within food retail is an advantage
• Multilingualism and experience/interest in different cultures is an advantage
• Basic leadership training or leadership experience is an advantage

Who are you? It is important that you have a genuine interest in food, service, and sales. You are cheerful and positive, enjoy working in a team, and have the ability to inspire and communicate. You get things done, like working at a fast pace, and can handle stressful environments. You likely see yourself in the future as the Store Manager of your own store, and you show commitment to getting there.

Please note that the application deadline is short, so please submit your application as soon as possible. We look forward to receiving your application!

Coop Norrbotten is a retail cooperative owned by approximately 155,000 members in Norrbotten. The association has 41 stores/hypermarkets, approximately 740 full-time employees, and a gross turnover of approximately 3.3 billion SEK. 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 change journey to meet tomorrow's food customers just as well and naturally in our physical stores as on Coop.se.

The ongoing change involves many challenges, but also opportunities. And you are never alone. If there is anything 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. Same products on the shelves, same shopping carts, and the checkout at the exit. But Coop is different because we are owned by our 3.5 million members. That is what makes us unique. It also gives us a particularly large responsibility, but also particularly large opportunities.

Coop is one of Sweden's largest employers and we are driven by the mission to give everyone access to good food. We are in an exciting change journey towards being the good force in food-Sweden. We want to simplify everyday life and give everyone access to good raw materials – 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, chickens are free-range, and our own brand Änglamark has been chosen as 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 in sustainable development, and now we are investing even more in spreading food joy and more love for good raw materials.

Together we can and should become 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 business.
