Logistics Project Manager (Temporary 12-18 month contract)
Hello potential future Oatly employee. It’s us, the original oatmilk company that started in Sweden back 25 or so years ago and has since expanded to the U.S. where we’ve continued growing at a rate such that we need more brilliant minds to come work with us to keep the momentum going and the oatmilk flowing.
Sustainability, health, and transparency are the core values that guide everything we do. Basically, we exist to help people live a healthier life without recklessly taxing the planet’s resources in the process, and to change the food system for the better. We drive that change through the power of oats and through a significant reduction in cow’s milk consumption. If any of this resonates with you, then maybe you’d like to work for Oatly, too. Now onto the formal stuff.
The Logistics Project Manager will report to the Director of Logistics, North America, and be the key contributor in driving the logistics developments and improvements within North America to ensure the logistics execution can be done at optimum cost and performance using the right tools. This is a temporary 12-18-month position.
Here are the things we want to hire you to do:
Lead the North American logistics cost out/cost control programs and support the global teams.
Lead and support the regions in their process initiatives and developments
Develop a “best in class” logistics and distribution footprint for existing and new markets
Lead new logistics process and/or system implementations In North America

Here are the things we think you need:
BA/BS degree in Supply Chain, Finance, or Project Management.
Project Management Certification (PMP).

2+ yrs of Logistics Project Management experience on projects over $1.5M.
Excellent analytical and communication skills, both oral and written
Must be detail-oriented, highly organized, and able to work independently and with limited supervision
Effectively prioritizes multiple demands, ability to be flexible during high workload periods
And here’s another list of qualities we think make a good Oatly team member:
You feel connected to our mission of encouraging health, sustainability, and transparency
You are a self-starter who doesn’t need direct supervision to motivate you for success – we believe strongly in building a culture of individual accountability and ownership, and need partners that can embrace that mentality
You are ready to make your mark in a smaller, growing brand, leveraging your experience to deliver amazing results and build an outstanding company
You have an entrepreneurial spirit in that you’re comfortable with ambiguity and are energized by the process of building something lasting from the ground up
You enjoy sharing your quirkiness and talents with your coworkers
Another bulleted list felt a bit too…bullet-y. So we wrote this long, awkward sentence to let you know all the ways we sweeten the deal when you work with us, like flexible vacation (take it when you need it), really great benefits (yes, pet insurance is in there), paid volunteer days off throughout the year (doing good is fun), free six packs of...(drumroll)…oatmilk, and you’ll also get genuinely great coworkers who are rooting for each other and the company to thrive. Oh, one more short but very important sentence: We are nimble and agile (not chaotic) in how we work, and we’re grounded in a long company history dating way back to the last century.
