We are all different. And that's wonderful! We don't hire people based on a template, but on who you are. For us, drive and personality are more important than experience and background. We're doing well, and we're growing fast. Now we're looking for more happy employees with the right attitude and a desire to develop!
About the job
We're looking for you who love food, people, and sales and want to be part of our great team at Willys Ljungby Garvaren! The job simply means you help our customers shop for good and sustainable food at really good prices.
The position: Permanent employment, full-time. Probationary period applies.
Start date: 2026-09-28 or by agreement.
Working hours: You will vary between working early mornings, daytime, evenings, and weekends.
Requirements: Upper secondary education, good Swedish language skills (spoken and written). We welcome applicants of all ages, but according to the Swedish Work Environment Authority's regulations AFS 2023:2 chapter 8 and appendix 2, we do not employ people under 18 years of age due to the nature of the work tasks. You need to have previous experience in leadership roles, preferably in retail.
Here's more about the position:
You are part of the store's management group, with the store manager as your direct supervisor, and you lead and plan the operations of the fresh produce team. You naturally take an active part in the day-to-day store operations.
You work strategically to develop the store's sales, profitability, and other important key metrics. You also participate in developing and following up on the store's business plan.
You have personnel responsibility for the members of your team and are therefore responsible for recruitment, scheduling, and onboarding.
You lead, motivate, and develop your team and help employees develop and perform to their full potential.
You are a role model in meeting our customers with knowledge, sensitivity, and a big smile.
About us
For us, the right attitude and a desire to develop are more important than experience and education. We work together as a team, as we see that real good collaboration gives the best results – while having fun at work. A bit more about us:
We work with concept management and chain operations – there are clear procedures and structures in place and you won't need to reinvent the wheel. This frees up time for you to focus on developing your team and department.
You will be offered many ways to grow and develop in your leadership role. Most of our store managers once worked as a team lead.
Willys is one of the most successful companies in the industry and we continue to grow. And because we're growing, you can too. As a large company, there are many opportunities for you to develop in your leadership role with us, including through various training programs.

About you
You love food, people, and sales just as much as we do! Willys grows and develops all the time, and you like to do that too. You want to learn new things, enjoy being challenged, and are driven by taking on greater responsibility. It's also great if:
You are driven to inspire and engage your employees, you're good at creating a positive work environment, and continuously developing your team.
You thrive in results-oriented environments where the pace is high, you have strong self-drive, good problem-solving skills, and aren't afraid to make decisions when needed.
You like people, put the customer's needs first, and are good at bringing people along – both customers and employees.
You are good at communicating and can develop your team and your store through feedback and coaching.
You need to have previous experience in leadership roles in a service profession, and it's a clear advantage if you have experience from grocery retail.
