To the table we bring our different backgrounds, experience and personality and together we approach the growth and challenges within our area and apply a pragmatic approach to share duties and tasks through weekly planning meetings and shorter, more frequent stand ups. Mode of operation ranges from operational, to tactical to strategic, with a clear focus on delivering true value. We walk the talk to uphold a culture of respect, integrity, inclusion, innovation and have an ambition to be as automated and hypothesis driven in our management as the vision of the PostNord operations that we work enable. You will have a great influence on your work, and we expect you to bring ideas forward that can improve the deliveries and ways of working within the team.
