At Willys, we work every day to deliver Sweden's cheapest grocery bag, so that more people can eat well every day. A job at Willys is simply a job that does good and feels right – for more people. Welcome to Willys. We need everyone here.
About the job
We're looking for you who love food, people, and sales and want to be part of our wonderful team at Willys Stockholm Fridhemsplan! In short, this position means you contribute to helping our customers shop for good and sustainable food at truly great prices.
Position details: Permanent full-time employment. Probationary period applies.
Start date: 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 in accordance with the Swedish Work Environment Authority's regulations AFS 2023:2 chapter 8 and appendix 2, we do not employ people under 18 years old due to the nature of the work tasks. You need to have previous leadership experience, preferably in retail.
Here's a bit more about the position:
You are part of the store's management team, with the store manager as your direct manager, and you lead and plan operations in the Checkout team. Of course, you actively participate in the daily work of helping our customers check out their items.
You work goal-oriented to develop the store's sales, profitability, and other key metrics. You also participate in developing and following up on the store's business plan.
As Checkout Team Lead, you are responsible for a very important part of the store where we meet the most customers and have the chance to make a great final impression. You are a role model in serving our customers with knowledge, sensitivity, and a big smile.
You have personnel responsibility for your team members and are thus responsible for recruitment, scheduling, and onboarding.
You lead, motivate, and develop your team and contribute to team members developing and performing to their full potential.
About us
For us, the right attitude and willingness to develop are more important than experience and education. We work together as a team, because we see that truly good collaboration gives the best results – while we have 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. The majority of our store managers once worked as a team lead.
Willys is one of the industry's most successful companies and we continue to grow. And because we're growing, so can you. As a large company, there are many opportunities to develop in your leadership role with us, including through various training programs.

About you
You love food, people, and sales as much as we do! Willys is growing and developing all the time, and you like to do that too. You enjoy learning new things, like being challenged, and are driven by taking on greater responsibility. It's also great if:
You are driven to inspire and engage your team members, you're good at creating a positive work environment, and continuously developing your team.
You have previous experience working in a checkout line.
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 necessary.
You love people, put the customer's needs first, and are good at getting both customers and employees on board.
You're good at communicating and can develop your team and store through feedback and coaching.
You need to have previous leadership experience in a service profession, and it's a clear advantage if you have experience in grocery retail.
