• You demonstrate the necessary leadership skills — practicing empathy and effective communication — to successfully mentor and collaborate with other team members
• You’re committed to the ongoing mission of making Oatly a more inclusive and equitable workplace

Finally, we count on that you share our values and have a great interest to carry out our mission in order to make the world a little bit better.
