Additional Information

People who are happy and do well at H&M tend to thrive on using their intuition and common sense. We might be the place of possibility, but we're also a place of ambiguity and constant change. This is not a company for micro-managers or people who operate on autopilot. This is a company where your opinions will inform business decisions, so you need to enjoy making them heard, questioning how things work, and trying things that you might not be familiar with.

Consequently, we depend on teamwork. And we have a pretty high tolerance for failure, provided you can show you're learning. You can expect to take on new responsibilities and to move around a bit, too, so this could be the start of a varied and rewarding career if that's what you're looking for. Beyond that, it's really up to you. 70% of our people manager roles are hired from within, so there's not much of a limit to how far you can go. All we ask is that you be yourself, take ownership of your work and your career goals, and go for it with everything you've got.

Our journey will lead to something new and exciting - we will test, fail and learn. You are an important player in this transformation, therefore we believe you are flexible, stress-resistant and able to work in an agile environment.

We believe that you are analytical, solution-focused, a great communicator, and a team player. You possess great people skills, a curious mindset, strong drive and a positive can-do attitude. You dare to stand-up and be creative. You are keen on working with numbers and calculations and have an eye for details. You and the product team will identify plenty of potentials and improvement areas. Hence, to make a difference for our regions and markets you need to be able to transform this into tangible actions in a keep it simple way.
