Selection is ongoing, and the position may be filled before the application deadline. We look forward to your application!

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 very large responsibility, but also very 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 on an exciting journey to become the good force in Swedish food. We aim to simplify everyday life and give everyone access to good raw materials – something that is good for 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 named 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 joy in food and more love for good raw materials.

Together we can and must become the good force in Swedish food!

Coop values qualities such as a balanced age and gender distribution, as well as ethnic and cultural diversity, which add value to the business.
