I am so happy, I am moving back to Sweden in the end of May! Two weeks ago I got the message that I got the job as brand manager at Göteborgs Kex in Sweden. The sales- and marketing department within Göteborgs Kex are moving from Kungälv, Gothenburg to Solna , Stockholm this spring. The reason to this is that the Orkla Brands Nordic companies located in Sweden are trying to gather up in the same building (as the Norwegian companies do in Sandakerveien in Oslo) to achieve synergy effects from being a huge concern. So by June this year the majority of the sales- and marketing departments within OLW, Göteborgs Kex, Axellus and Pierre Robert Group will be located at Solna Business Center just outside Stockholm City.
I do have split feelings; I love my job at Nidar AS in Oslo but I am at the same time very excited about my new job at Göteborgs Kex. When I move back to Sweden again, I have been one and a half year at Nidar as a Trade Marketing Konsulent. I have really enjoyed my time at the company and Nidar is a great organisation with wonderful people. I will for sure miss it. Though, the biggest reason why I want to change job and move is that I see my long term future in Sweden (friends and family) and therefore I cannot miss this chance to join Göteborgs Kex when positions will be filled when moving to Solna.
Göteborgs Kex is also the FMCG-company that is closets to my heart since the production is located nearby my parents' house in Gothenburg. I have grown up beside the company's factory and therefore I have a strong personal connection to it. Moreover, I want to work with marketing in the future and my new job is a more clearly defined marketing job.
I really want to stay within Orkla and if I had not got this job I would absolutely have stayed at Nidar, no doubt! This is just an example what great opportunities Orkla can offer you; a new job in a new country, how nice isn't that!
