Hello potential future Oatly employee. It’s us, the original oat drink company that started in Sweden back 25 or so years ago.

In the last few years, we’ve become a popular and pioneering dairy-alt player in the market. We're continuing to establish our presence in the Hungary, Czech Republic and Slovakia, determined to be part of the discussion on the long-term future of the food and beverage industry. With this growth, we need more brilliant minds to come to work with us to keep the momentum going and the oat drink flowing.

We exist to make it easy for people to eat better and live healthier lives without recklessly taxing the planet’s resources in the process. If this resonates with you, then maybe you’d like to work for Oatly, too. So, let’s get to the formal stuff.
