Marketing Assistant

Hello potential future Oatly employee. It’s us, the original oat drink company that started in Sweden back 25 or so years ago.

In the last few years, we’ve become a popular and pioneering dairy-alt player in the UK market. We're continuing to establish our presence here, determined on being part of the discussion on the long-term future of the food and beverage industry. With this growth, we need more brilliant minds to come work with us to keep the momentum going and the oat drink flowing.

We exist to make it easy for people to eat better and live healthier lives without recklessly taxing the planet’s resources in the process. If this resonates with you, then maybe you’d like work for Oatly, too. So, let’s get to the formal stuff.

Who You Are

If the below sounds like you, you could be the ideal person for this job:

• You’re inquisitive and energetic, and excited by the prospect of joining the team behind the Post Milk Generation.
• You’re proactive, organised and driven. You know how to balance and prioritise lots of different tasks and deliver results on time.
• For us mindset is most important, but it'd be a huge bonus if you can demonstrate a solid understanding of the primary channels Oatly use to speak to consumers.
• Communication is an inherent strength of yours and you can clearly articulate plans, thoughts, ideas and evaluations in written and verbal format.
• You understand the importance of speed when working in a fast-growing company like Oatly, and are naturally proactive and someone who independently plans, initiates and executes tasks and projects.
• You’re always authentic to who you are and not afraid of bringing your unique perspective, talent, experience and ideas to any team!

Another bulleted list felt redundant, so we wrote this long sentence with all the ways we sweeten the deal to work with us: 25 days of holiday (+bank holidays and the opportunity to buy or sell days), comprehensive health insurance, free therapy so you can be kind to your mind, an epic office space in Farringdon which comes with loads of snacks and breakfast (+ amazing cappoatccinos), genuinely great co-workers who want to see the company and each other succeed, and a fridge full of the best non-dairy alternative in the world for your enjoyment.

Phew! Well done if you’ve got this far. We’re glad we’ve still got your attention because we’ve got one last super important point to make.

As you can probably tell, we’re a norm-breaking company. For us, diversity and differences are an obvious asset. We know that amazing candidates can sometimes be put off applying for a job unless they can tick every box, and that makes us really sad. So please trust your gut and pop in your application if it’s feeling right. Good luck!
