Join us

In this position, you will be part of the Network & Technology Strategy team. Our objective is to ensure that PostNord´s logistics network is future proof and cost-effective. We work with network modelling & design, technology & innovation and quality management and are now looking to strengthen our operations excellence capabilities. You will come to a well-functioning and diverse team who challenge status quo and look for new and innovative solutions that support PostNord’s future success.

The Cost Leadership Program is set up to improve the competitiveness of PostNord. One foundational part of the program is to implement optimized and standardized processes and thereby increase productivity and reduce unit cost. We have decided to set up a dedicated Operations Excellence team that in close collaboration with the country organizations will implement the agreed standards, also referred to as blueprints, in the operational processes from pick-up to delivery.

Job duties

Your role will be to project manage the roll-out and detailing of the blueprints as part of the Cost Leadership Program. This means you will:

  • Define, scope and run projects within the operational processes across the parcel flow from pick-up to delivery; first mile, sorting, linehaul or last mile.
  • Coordinate with workstream and lever leads and identify interdependencies to other levers / projects.
  • Collaborate with local operational teams in depots or sorting centres and with country production development organizations to detail, develop and implement new standards.
  • Set up communities of practice to drive sharing of best practices across countries.
  • Develop and manage business cases to identify and validate potentials.
  • Manage stakeholders at different levels

You will report to the Manager Operations Excellence. The position is full-time with the start date being as soon as the right person is available. You will be located in Stockholm or Copenhagen and will travel to our production facilities in the Nordics on a regular basis.

We are looking for you who have

  • Solid experience from running transformational projects with high degree of change management in a complex stakeholder environment in logistics or supply chain.
  • Relevant academic education within business economics, engineering or logistics (BSc or MSc) or the equivalent experience acquired on the job.

Parcel industry experience in particular within last mile distribution is highly meritable. Management consultancy experience from a supply chain practice is also a plus.

We believe that you are a self-starting and analytical person with excellent problem-solving skills. You are structured, collaborative and a strong relationship builder. You speak and write English fluently. Fluency in one or more of the Scandinavian languages is highly meritable.

We offer you

We offer you a flexible hybrid workplace with a prestige-free environment where we as a team help each other to reach our goals. We encourage self-sufficient leadership for development and career opportunities. In addition to the benefits mentioned above, we offer:

• work in a Nordic and flexible environment.
• good insurance and occupational pension conditions
• employee benefits through PostNord's own employee foundation PostNord Plus
• employment according to a collective agreement.
