Coop Norrbotten is one of the largest employers in Norrbotten, offering many challenging jobs. We are on an exciting transformation journey to meet the future needs of food customers just as well and naturally in our physical stores as on Coop.se.
The ongoing transformation presents many challenges but also opportunities. And you are never alone. If there is one thing we are especially proud of, it is our employees. By successfully recruiting many competent staff members, we work together towards the future.
Coop is unique! It is 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. This is what makes us unique. It also gives us a greater responsibility, but also greater opportunities.
Coop is one of Sweden's largest employers, driven by the mission to provide everyone access to good food. We are on an exciting transformation journey to be the positive force in food Sweden. We aim to simplify everyday life and provide everyone access to quality ingredients – something that benefits both body, soul, and our environment.
Coop has long been at the forefront, realizing the importance of ecological thinking. Our fish is certified, the hens are free-range, 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 being the best in sustainable development, and now we are investing even more in spreading joy in food and more love for quality ingredients.
Together, we can and will be the positive force in food Sweden!
We value the qualities that a balanced age and gender distribution, as well as ethnic and cultural diversity, bring to our operations.
