Launch your career where strategy meets delivery
Want to turn your academic education into real business impact—and see bold priorities turn into measurable results? Here, you won’t just watch from the sidelines—you’ll be an active player and learn by doing.

Nord-Lock Group is looking for a driven graduate trainee to help shape and deliver improvement initiatives across operations and commercial excellence. You’ll dive into real challenges, work hands-on across the full value chain, and get exposure that actually matters.

You’ll thrive here if you:

• Bring strong interpersonal skills and thrive in teamwork, able to influence and collaborate across all levels in an international environment

• Combine humbleness with high performance, staying extremely self-driven

• Actively mobilize energy in others and champion cross-functional collaboration to get results

• Make it easy for people to work with you—because impact is better when you work together

This role is designed to build broad skills, sharpen your business acumen and fast-track your development—setting you up for key future roles within Nord-Lock Group and potentially also Investment Latour. If you’re curious, analytical, action-oriented, and hungry to make a difference from day one—this is your launchpad.

What You’ll Do
This role combines strategic/analytical work with practical execution, giving you the chance to deliver real impact:

• Turn data into clear insights, recommendations, and decision material / business cases

• Support and eventually lead parts of improvement initiatives (operations, sales, finance, purchasing, data transparency, digitalization/AI, engineering & footprint)

• Present findings to stakeholders and help move work from decision to action

• Capture and share best practices across sites and teams, incl. external best practice

How you'll grow
Over ~1.5–2 years, you’ll rotate with short-term international placements at our sites, with your base location at the Nord-Lock HQ in Göteborg. We want to build breadth, experience, and a strong internal network, including:

• Operational excellence and purchasing

• Site-based improvement work (productivity & continuous improvement / KPIs)

• Commercial excellence and go-to-market

• Business development and data analytics

You’ll also gain regular exposure to senior stakeholders and see firsthand how key business decisions are made.

Requirements

• MSc or PhD in Industrial Engineering & Management, Business Administration, Supply Chain, or similar related fields

• Structured, self-driven, and comfortable taking early responsibility

• Comfortable working with data and digital tools

• Clear communicator in English (Swedish is a plus)

• High integrity and professional handling of business information

• Driving license is required — execution means being on the mov

What We Offer

• Mentorship and structured support: rotation leaders, regular reviews, and a clear governance cadence

• Real responsibility in a high-learning role with broad exposure across the value chain

• International environment with a strong internal network across sites and functions

• Accelerated development through internal/external training and a strong cross-site network

• Senior visibility: you report initially to the VP and Head of BU TenEx (Group Executive team)
