Head of Supply Chain Nordics at Oatly

If you are a strategic thinker with a passion for supply chain excellence and sustainability, we want to hear from you!

Hello potential future Oatly employee.

It’s us, the original oat drink company that started in Sweden nearly 30 years ago and we need more brilliant minds to come work with us to keep the momentum going and the oat drink flowing.

Sustainability, health, and transparency are the core values that guide everything we do. Basically, 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 you're driven to help us make a positive impact in the world, here's your chance to be a change-maker.

We are looking for a Head of Supply Chain Nordics to lead the supply chain agenda and development to realize the commercial strategy and key objectives in the Nordics as part of the Nordic leadership team.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Demand Planning: Oversee demand planning activities.
  • Integrated Business Process (IBP): Manage the local part of Oatly’s IBP.
  • Logistics Management: Coordinate logistics at 3PLs and distribution partners.
  • Stock and Order Management: Collaborate with the central supply chain team on stock and order management.

As the Head of Supply Chain Nordics, you will lead the Nordics supply chain function, including supervisory responsibilities. You will act as the link between the local commercial team and the central supply chain organization, supporting end-to-end understanding and alignment of business objectives, requirements, and prerequisites.

More fun things included in the role:

  • Define, align and lead the changes needed to deploy Nordics Supply Chain strategy in collaboration with Central Supply Chain team.
  • Act as key business partner to Nordic Commercial team as part of the Nordic Leadership Team and contribute to doing better business with greater control.
  • Drive focused improvement action plan in cash, cost, service and sustainability.
  • Lead the local IBP process and support Commercial and Portfolio Review as the key forums realizing the business strategy.
  • Lead Demand planning and act as guardian of fundamental supply chain principles adhered to in commercial plans.
  • Lead and manage customer relationships on operational, tactical and strategic levels.

This role requires a strategic and operational leader who can bridge the gap between local commercial teams and central supply chain operations, ensuring alignment and effective execution of supply chain strategies in the Nordics.

Now on to the more interesting part - YOU! Here are the things we think you need to be successful in this role:

  • You have a background/strong interest in supply chain but also have a good understanding of the FMCG world.
  • You have experience in leadership and a proven track record to grow people and deliver great results.
  • You have excellent communication skills and build trusted relationships with key stakeholders, internally and externally.
  • You are comfortable with ambiguity and are energized by the process of building something lasting from the ground up.
  • Solid experience in areas of Demand and Supply Management, IBP/S&OP and Logistics.
  • A commercial interest and ability to create strong relationships between functions.
  • You have the personality to succeed in this role – collaborative, energetic, flexible, humble, dedicated, analytical, reliable, positive and trustworthy.

And here’s another list of qualities we think make a good Oatly team member:

  • You're already engaged with our brand, love our products, and feel connected to our mission of encouraging health, sustainability, and transparency.
  • You thrive in a job that doesn't include a traditional workplace structure.
  • You are a self-starter who doesn’t need direct supervision to motivate you for success.
  • You are a make-it-happen person who is excited to roll up your sleeves and dive in.
  • You are ready to make your mark in a smaller, growing brand leveraging your experience to deliver amazing results, put in place robust processes and build an outstanding company.
  • To generally be an awesome person to hang out with.

We value diversity and inclusion and welcome people from all backgrounds who see sustainability and health as important values. Even if your experience doesn’t align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we encourage you to apply anyway. If you have the curiosity, passion, and collaborative spirit, let’s do this together! It will be fun!

Apply no later than the 11th of August.
