I'm interested

Are you passionate about contributing to improve decision-making – both strategically and operationally – within the leading logistics provider in the Nordics? Are you a generalist – with a mindset combining analytical aptitude and business understanding?

In that case – read on

You, Us & The Job

Network & Analytics is a small team within PostNord's strategic department, Nordic Strategy & Solutions. We try to support the decision-making and change within PostNord, attempting to honour our Nordic perspective and the needs within our different country organizations.

In our team, we have senior experience and understanding of our logistical network, together with competence related to the more technical and operational challenges. We also have knowledge and ability to extract data from the PostNord operations, paired with the aptitude to analyse and conclude. We now need to add new key competence, to handle our mission more fully – someone who can take the lead in understanding our real-world challenges and capture them in dynamic simulation models, enabling us to better understand the consequences of various alternatives and change initiatives.

The PostNord culture – ABC: Accountable, Brave, and Committed – should also strongly influence you and this role. We are involved in change and transformation, with all the challenges this implies. And in trying to balance investment and capacity needs, customer wishes and quality, as well as cost implications, we should in a constructive way try to contribute to taking all these perspectives into account.

What will you do?

In this role, you will be responsible for leading the simulation modeling initiatives that you or we identify will add value and support PostNord. You will in many cases need to take a more proactive approach, given that you are expected to see opportunities to contribute that others will not realize – until presented with the model as such. You will support and have interfaces with many parts of PostNord – the colleagues in the same unit (Network & Technology) having a more operational or a more technological focus, but also the country organizations, Finance, and other units in the strategic department.

Given the strong competence in process understanding you have and will nurture through your work, you are in more general terms expected to help those focusing on operational excellence in identifying improvements – with or without the assistance of simulation. Tasks related to presenting and visualizing data, might also be encountered.

At PostNord, we value our employees and reward them with competitive salaries, great working conditions, and amazing benefits and discounts.

One of the benefits you can enjoy is joining The PostNord Plus personnel foundation, which offers you a wide range of activities and deals in holidays, sports, culture and wellness.

PostNord is a fantastic place to work and grow We have a diverse and talented team of people who work in different roles and locations across the Nordic region.

We offer the prestigious PostNord Professionals program to help talented employees develop and prepare for senior roles

Who are we looking for?

You have a holistic ability – enabling you to see the "big picture". You dare to challenge and think "outside the box" – and you pair this with an analytical skill. As a person, you take responsibility for your tasks, take initiative, start activities, and achieve results. You have good cooperation skills and a communicative talent – both visually and verbally.

Your experience and competence

• Communicative in Swedish/Scandinavian and English, spoken and written
• Programming competence, with an object-oriented mindset (preferably Java)
• Experience of dynamic modeling and simulation (preferably AnyLogic)
• B.Sc./M.Sc., BBA/MBA, or the equivalent – with a flavour of Logistics, Operations Research/Management, and/or Business

It would be beneficial if you have experience/competence from different types of industries (ideally including parcel logistics) and are comfortable with Excel, SQL, and/or Data modeling. Experience in and willingness to take on project management roles would also be an advantage.
