Lead the flagship at Storheden - shape the food destination of the future
The store is constantly evolving. We look forward to investing in store-produced items and increased production towards our units in Norrbotten. Another goal is to develop the restaurant to the next level, all to create a store that will be the obvious choice for Luleå residents.
The store has a fantastic location and great conditions to become Luleå's best and most popular grocery store. As a supermarket manager, you, together with your staff, help create an attractive Luleå and put Storheden on the map as a food destination.
The role as supermarket manager
As a supermarket manager, you are the natural leader who shows the way forward and coaches your team of department managers. You will, among other things, work with customer satisfaction, sales, operations, results, staff and change work in the store.
Customer service and sales are at the heart of our business. The Supermarket Manager is a key person in this work, responsible for the budget, business plan and sales activities. You are also a culture bearer, and by that we mean that you do not only work for Coop, you work for the whole of Norrbotten where our stores contribute to smaller towns and villages coming alive. We have been named Sweden's most sustainable company in 2021 and are very proud of our sustainability work. Part of this work is to give back to our community and village, create jobs and reduce the environmental impact of transport.
At Coop we constantly strive to be better. This applies to our entire business, including store profitability and performance. If you step into the role of Supermarket Manager, you have a great opportunity to drive improvement work together with your team and you have the overall responsibility for developing your store towards a good result.
You are ultimately responsible for the store and have five department managers as direct reports. You are responsible for employee interviews, sales, onboarding, skills development, process compliance and compliance with Coop's sustainability policy.
Are you the leader our supermarket needs?
We are looking for a candidate with experience in retail and previous personnel responsibility where you have led other leaders with good results. As a basis, you have an upper secondary education or a meritorious post-secondary education. If you have experience in improvement work, this is also an advantage.
We believe that you:
- Have broad experience in the retail sector
- Previously worked in a management team, preferably with personnel responsibility for other managers
- Thrive in a fast-paced, unpretentious environment and are energized by simplifying and improving.
- Can lead through managers in a fresh produce intensive environment and likes to work close to the floor.
- Uses data/key figures smartly - but knows that the culture and the customer meeting decide
Do you feel a little extra for sales and love to see your employees develop? Then this role could be for you. You may be a creative person who thinks a little differently, dares to try new solutions and is easy to get others on board towards the same goal.
At Coop, we value the qualities that an even age and gender distribution as well as ethnic and cultural diversity bring to the business.

We do not contact recruitment companies in this recruitment process
Coop Norrbotten is a retail association owned by about 155,000 members in Norrbotten. The association has 43 stores / supermarkets, about 740 annual employees and a gross turnover of about SEK 3.3 billion. Stores are located from Kiruna in the north to Piteå in the south. The service office is located at Storheden in Luleå.
Coop Norrbotten is one of Norrbotten's largest employers with many challenging jobs. We are on an exciting journey of change to be able to meet the food customers of the future as well and as naturally in our physical stores as on Coop.se. The change that is underway involves extra challenges, but also opportunities. And you are never alone. If there is one thing we are particularly proud of, it is our employees. By having succeeded in recruiting many competent employees, we are working together towards the future.
Coop is unique! It's easy to think that all grocery stores are the same. The same products on the shelves, the same shopping carts and the checkout at the exit. But Coop is different because we are owned by our 4 million members. That's what makes us unique. It also gives us extra responsibility, but also extra opportunities. Coop has long been at the forefront and realized the importance of ecological thinking. Our fish is certified, our chickens are released and our own brand Änglamark has been named Sweden's Greenest Brand - but our journey does not end there.
Together with our employees, we work every day with our customers to continue to be the best in sustainable development and now we are investing even more in spreading the joy of food and more love for good ingredients.
Together, we can and will become the force for good in food Sweden!
We value the qualities that an even age and gender distribution, as well as ethnic and cultural diversity, bring to the business.
