Hello potential future Oatly employee,

It’s us, the original oat drink company from Sweden that produced the first oat drink nearly 30 years ago. We need more brilliant minds to come 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 you're driven to help us make a positive impact in the world, here's your chance to be a change-maker.

We're looking for a Brand Activation Manager who is a culturally connected, super-organised self-starter, responsible for building the brand in the Benelux region, with a strong focus on Amsterdam – bringing Oatly into cool, exciting new spaces and communities to support our broader mission.

The role reports into the Brand Lead for the Benelux.
