WHY OATLY

Hello potential future Oatly employee. It’s us, the original oat drink company that started in Sweden back 35 or so years ago. We're now ramping up our operations in Spain and LATAM, some of our fastest growing markets worldwide, and because of that we need a brilliant mind (hi, maybe you?) to help us make it happen.

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. And while that’s a big deal, we also believe all that tastes better when, well, what you’re having actually tastes better.

Happens that in Spain and LATAM, coffee culture is exploding with new taste experiences, and no, we’re not talking pumpkin spice lattes. The fun part is helping figure out what’s next and making sure Oatly is right there in the middle of it. Does this feel exciting? Well, this is where you come in.

THE ROLE

We’re looking for a Communications Manager to join our team. In this hands-on role, you’ll drive communications initiatives in Spain while supporting efforts across LATAM and other Spanish-speaking markets. You’ll play a key role in delivering our PR strategy, building strong relationships with media and thought leaders, and strengthening the Oatly brand across key markets

You will report to the Head of Communications, France & Southern Europe and be a part of the global communications team working across our markets. You’ll help bring Oatly’s mission to life, making it easier for people to live healthier lives without recklessly taxing the planet’s resources while working day-to-day with brand, sales, BMDs, public affairs, nutrition and sustainability teams to support commercial goals.

Here’s the main elements of the role...

WHO YOU ARE

If the below sounds like you, you could be the ideal person for this job:

• Based in Barcelona; native Spanish speaker with professional fluency in English

• A minimum of 2-3 years of experience in communications (agency, start-up or in-house) with a hands-on mindset

• A love for media, lifestyle trends, social platforms, pop culture and whatever gets people talking, with a good feel for the Spanish-speaking media landscape

• A passion for writing, with a knack for spotting what makes a story interesting

• An organised multi-tasker who relishes working on more than one project at any one time

• A team player who enjoys communicating with a wide range of stakeholders regularly – from press, agencies, influencers to internal stakeholders and teams

• A natural curiosity and open-mindedness, with the motivation to learn, grow and take on challenges, including supporting communications beyond Spain, across other Spanish-speaking markets

• An interest in sustainability, mission-led brands and transforming our global food system for the sake of people and planet.

• Some exposure to food & drink or fast-moving consumer goods is a plus
