Director of Public Relations EMEA (Temp. position one year)

THE OATLY WAY

We are the world’s original and largest oat drink company. For over 25 years, we have exclusively focused on developing expertise around oats: a global power crop with inherent properties suited for sustainability and human health. Our commitment to oats has resulted in core technical advancements that enabled us to unlock the breadth of the dairy portfolio, including alternatives to milks, ice cream, yogurt, cooking creams, and spreads. Headquartered in Malmö, Sweden, the Oatly brand is available in more than 20 countries globally.



That’s where you come in:

As a Director of Public Relations EMEA, you will amplify Oatly’s voice and protect our reputation in earned traditional, social and digital media contexts within EMEA, to educate and inspire people to make the switch from dairy to plant based.

A knack for strategic communications, love of leadership and solid planning are what’s key here. Creating a good flow between these divisions and guiding Oatly’s strategic communications for the general public and other key audiences is what you will take on responsibility for. Oatly believes in working cross-functionally, so you will work collaboratively with a lot of different departments and regions outside of Comms! 

 

Are you the Oat we’re looking for?

We are looking for an experienced and inspiring leader that welcomes ambiguity as an opportunity to move forward and is comfortable with change. There’s a lot of it here! You are a team-builder that believes in making your colleagues feel at home and encourages learning. Collaboration is in your nature, you’ve orchestrated creative, proactive, and measurably successful communications plans. 

You are a highly professional with both a business and people mindset - your role is both to look to the interest of the company and make sure your team is doing great. You are both a strategist and a doer - develop and execute long term strategies, and short term tactical plans covering both corporate and creative PR.

Other key competencies & experiences:

- 8+ years in a specialist communications role, with PR focus
- Managing high performing teams
- Ability to thrive in a fast paced and unpredictable environment, with competing priorities and stakeholders, in which you will need to find your own path


- Self-propelling and proactive 
- Not a must, but great if you have agency experience and/or have knowledge of sustainability communications  


As we act in a truly global setting, your communication skills in English must be excellent, both verbally and in writing.

The role is a temporary position, from June 2022 to August 2023, but as we plan to keep growing, chances are pretty good that other positions will be available by the end of this appointment.

Finally, we hope 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.
