SENIOR OPERATIONS COORDINATOR-WHOLESALE

A BIT ABOUT AXEL ARIGATO
The idea of Axel Arigato started with the founders; Max Svärdh and Albin Johansson, questioning the whole structure of the fashion industry - why and how you make things. By foregoing seasonal collections, traditional sales channels and engaging with customers directly, Axel Arigato was launched with one main objective: to create the present, shape the future, and inspire generations.

At Axel Arigato, our aim is to build a platform through the power of community, inclusivity, and memorable experiences. We are an equal opportunity employer and value a diverse workforce. We believe that our differences are a strength and that by bringing together our individual perspectives and backgrounds, we make magic happen

MORE ABOUT THE ROLE

We work very close to the sales managers but also cross functionally with other departments such as finance, production, logistics and more. We are customer- centric and want to be seen as an enabler, both internally and externally.

The main responsibilities:

• Evaluate current processes in a constructive way and initiate change to create systems and process efficiencies.
