The group includes companies such as Teknikdelar and Batteriexperten. The company was founded in 2012 and currently has around 80 employees, with headquarters in Malmö and a sales office in Stockholm. Spares is in an exciting growth phase where continued expansion demands efficient processes, strong operational management, and scalable operations.

A large part of the role involves creating structure and pace in daily operations.

At the same time, you are expected to contribute to improving processes and methods over time. This could involve identifying bottlenecks, suggesting changes to workflows, or working with the COO/Warehouse Manager to drive smaller improvement initiatives. This is not a strategic desk role. It is an operational role where you make a difference by staying close to the business and getting daily operations to run better.

You quickly see when something isn't working, take action on problems, and ensure things get done. At the same time, you are receptive, clear, and good at bringing others along. This is a role for an upcoming star who wants to build a strong foundation in operational leadership and progressively take on more responsibility as both you and the business develop.
