Vacant job

ÖoB in Umeå is now looking for a customer-focused and development-oriented deputy department store manager with experience in leadership and retail.

As the deputy department store manager, you are a key member of the store's management team, working closely with the store manager. Your responsibilities include operations, sales, and creating a positive and developmental work environment. You help drive the business forward, both operationally and strategically.

ÖoB is a values-driven company with employees who are motivated by challenges and thrive in a varied work environment where the pace is fast and customer focus is central. To succeed here, you must be able to handle multiple tasks simultaneously, work efficiently under time pressure, and adapt quickly when conditions change.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone with previous experience as a deputy department store manager (assistant store manager) or department head, with the ambition to eventually step up to the role of store manager. You are a confident and engaged leader who serves as a role model for your colleagues and is motivated by developing both staff and the business.

You are responsible, have good collaboration skills, and enjoy working with people. You have an interest in retail and leadership, and see opportunities in growing with new challenges. The role involves many contact points, requiring good communication skills as well as the ability to plan and organize your work.

We are looking for someone who is self-motivated and goal-oriented, with the drive to contribute to sales, employee development, and good results, always in line with ÖoB's concept and working model.

We value:

• Good collaboration skills
• High service awareness, towards both customers and colleagues
• An eye for the visual aspects of a department store
• Ability to see the big picture in the business

Experience from a leadership position in retail or grocery is an advantage, as is experience working in large-scale operations and a forklift license.

Great importance is also placed on your personal qualities.

This is a part-time temporary position, 30 hours/week, with a start date no later than August 21, 2026, and running until June 1, 2028. Working hours are varied and include evenings and weekends.

Here, you have the chance to work in a truly exciting and development-oriented leadership role where ÖoB can offer significant opportunities for professional growth.

Please submit your application by 2026-06-28. (An appointment may be made before the final application deadline. Selection and interviews are conducted on an ongoing basis, so we request your application as soon as possible.)
