We may have started in the Nordics, but we have a global mindset and consider ourselves to be the international streaming challenger. This means we’re constantly launching our Viaplay streaming service in new markets and on the lookout for talented, curious, driven professionals to join us on our journey.

Right now, we’re searching for an Organizational Developer in our Stockholm office -are you ready to hit play on an exciting career change?



The Role
As an Organizational Developer you will be part of a diverse, talented and forward-thinking group of humorous leaders that are all working to create the best place to work in the Nordic tech market.

We believe that you are passionate about unlocking the potential in organizations, teams and individuals to reach ever higher levels of productivity, meaning and well-being. We know that there is no single way to do this and are always looking for new ways and ideas to learn about our organization, but here are some thoughts: As an Organizational Developer, you will have a lot of freedom to shape the way you work so we also think that you have strategies to be effective in a varied and exploratory environment.

In addition, there are Engineering Managers who manage and coach the teams, drive personal and professional growth and make our co-workers feel happy, appreciated, and engaged.
