Lediga jobb Ridestore AB i Göteborg

Since 2006, we’ve gone our own way. Our focus has never been on growth for the sake of growth; instead, we’ve built a company with people who are curious and understand that business is all about people and their infinite learning. We try not to get stuck in corporate bs, which means we build the company we’d love to work for. Some examples;
We don’t believe in big company goals. Instead, we believe that if we keep a curious mind and become a little bit better every day, we achieve long-term success.
We value output rather than 9-5. We adapt to changes, avoid unnecessary meetings, and aim for asynchronous communication because we believe in calmness and deep work.
We have always championed an idea-driven culture, valuing originality, creativity, deep thinking, reflection, and collaboration.
We want to work with the smartest and most humble people. We’ve found it’s simply more fun that way.

With that, our culture has always been the most important product we have built. Weird to say to a product developer? Maybe. But know this: we love the products we co-create with our customers, too. It’s actually a dedication to exceptional quality in our products, as well as driving a great customer experience, that has led to the fact that you can find our two brands (Dope and Montec) on most slopes around the world. From one winter season to the next, we keep improving everything we do, and our products evolve along with us and our customers.
What’s this role about, then? To start with, you’ll dive into Ridestore, get to know your new teammates, understand what makes us unique, who’s who, what tools we use, explore our brands and products to grasp their current identities, where to get coffee, what kind of fabric the nerdy R&D guy is talking about… and… you get it; learn a lot about your new work.
Then, depending on your background and how fast you learn, we see you engaging in a variety of things in this role, some probably from day one, others way later:
Iterative product development: You will continuously build and improve products over time, ensuring the creation of the best possible results while finding purpose and fulfillment in the process.
Test new designs: You’ll experiment with new ideas, identify design risks, and collaborate with the design team to make construction decisions that ensure both quality and aesthetic alignment.
Own product improvements: You’ll drive product enhancements and clearly communicate sample feedback to suppliers. You will suggest and test technical improvements, digging deep to understand why some constructions work and why others fail.
Enhance technical quality:You'll contribute to building our quality by evaluating samples in detail and providing our factories with actionable feedback.
Optimize the product development team: Support in building and refining ways of working that keep the team efficient and agile. You’ll be expected to bring a passion for improving how we do things in product development.
Build technical assets: Using Adobe Illustrator, you’ll create and maintain a high-quality tech drawing library for all products.
Stay on top of projects: You’ll track project stages, prioritize urgent deliveries, and flag any potential delays.
Solve problems: You’ll approach challenges with an open mind and creativity, driving solutions when issues arise.
Share knowledge: We’re in this together. You’ll spread your technical expertise across the team and company to help people grow and get a better understanding of our products.
Sounds interesting, right? What you just read is meant to help you understand what we envision you driving and achieving so you know where to aim. As we grow and change, you and the team may realize your role may need to adapt and grow. We welcome change, so this list should help you understand our expectations but not box you in!
Who are you?
A sociable person, comfortable in both giving and receiving feedback
A passionate product developer
Self-driven and detail-oriented
Autonomous, capable of handling projects independently
A structured mind to keep projects on track
Problem-solving skills to tackle the coming bumps in the road
Humble to the bones and know how to laugh
You love working in a team

Your Experience
Experience in product development for functional outerwear
Deep knowledge of Illustrator
A clear understanding of lead times and product development processes


It's a full-time role based in our only office in Gothenburg. So we want you to live close to Gothenburg and be able to work from the office about three days each week. Ridestore is distributed across several countries and has a great digital workplace, meaning we will also offer you the flexibility to work from home.
So, apply if you want to be part of a fun-loving and humble crew where we go our own way. Our journey is our goal; we want to continue to learn and see where it can take us. We’ll offer you freedom in a passionate and snowy environment where you can impact the future of Ridestore with your work.

How we do it
Please do not put any effort into writing a cover letter before applying; instead, you will get to write answers to some questions that we find interesting for this role! And please, write it yourself; we love to use AI tools, but in this case, we want to see the real person. Good luck, and have fun! Visa mindre

At Ridestore, we’ve always relied on tech and agile applications to lead the way to innovation. This is something that has resonated within Ridestore ever since Linus (one of our founders) built the first version of ridestore.com in his childhood bedroom.

That’s now almost 20 years ago, but this approach is still with us today, and for our finance team, it’s no different. By utilizing agile applications we’ve been able to automize a lot of traditional finance work. But we are not done. To let our team focus on what they do best, we are now looking for someone to step in and take ownership of our applications and help the Finance team to reach new heights.

Why are we looking for a Product Owner?
Simply put, we need someone that brings more tech knowledge to the team and makes our work more automated and systemized. You will have complete responsibility for all technical products in the finance team and be the link between developers and teams with all that it entails (coding, business logic, etc.).

What you'll be doing?
In the short term, we need you to take ownership of the Netsuite application and make sure we own our backlog and development projects internally and towards our IT partner. Taking your dedication and superpowers to take our way of doing things to the next level. The main short-term focus is to build a structure in and around Netsuite from a user perspective. You will ensure that the system is being used in the most optimal way and that our finance teammates have everything they need from the system.

In the long term, you will take ownership of all applications within Finance with the objective of building automation and effective processes. You might also have played a key role in building the internal reporting and analysis package that Ridestore uses as the single source of truth when it comes to analyzing business figures.

How the long-term perspective will look is impossible to say. But with a culture rooted in constant change and flexibility we are not in any way bound to the applications we use today. And if there are better applications that work better for us, you will be the driver of change and innovation within the team.

Sounds interesting? Then this is who we’re looking for!
You have an interest in both Finance and Tech and love to support your fellow colleagues with your technical expertise. We have set up our ways of working with asynchronous communication in the core - we use Asana as a shared productivity tool on which we base the majority of our work and Slack for culture, fast comms, and fun. This means we have a flexible environment where you can focus, but it demands a lot from everyone as you need to be the driver of your work. Being a driver means taking charge, getting information and resources, and solving problems. You don't have to do everything alone, but it's your job to keep the work moving and ask for help when needed.

Since we would like you to hit the ground running from day one, it’s crucial that you have the following:

-
Strong financial knowledge and experience, including accounting principles and financial analysis, and experience with the Netsuite cloud-based financial system

- Understanding of agile methodology and experience working in an agile development environment

- Experience in developing financial products and services

- Experience with D2C (Direct-to-Consumer) e-commerce platforms and operations

It's an added advantage if you possess a familiarity with business intelligence tools and data analysis, along with proficiency in . Experience with Commercetools as an e-commerce platform is highly desirable, as is knowledge of Third-Party Logistics (TPL) integrations and their role in supporting financial operations.

Where you’ll do it? ?????????????
Mostly remote. But we want you in the CET zone plus/minus 2 hours as most of our teams are based in Europe. Ridestore has been remote since 2014, except for some people who work in Gothenburg, where we have our only office (https://career.ridestore.com/pages/gothenburg). In this particular role, we want you to be able to visit the office when needed, which means you should be open to traveling to Gothenburg once in a while.

We’ll offer you freedom in a passionate and somewhat snowy environment where you can significantly impact the Ridestore journey with your work.

We look forward to seeing what you can bring to the Ridestore team!

How we do it
We want to get to know you and your unique perspective, so we ask that you answer some questions that we find interesting as the first step in the application process. So do not put any time into writing a cover letter.
Hope to see you in the process! Visa mindre

Over the years, our business has gone from an idea of - let’s see what we can do if we focus on quality and co-creation with happy customers - to a rather big business reaching over the snowy tops of the world with our two brands Dope (https://www.dopesnow.com/) and MONTEC (https://www.montecwear.com/). Still with the same ethos, but with a bigger business comes more complexity. We do love challenges at Ridestore, but we also realize when we need additional expertise. In this case, we’re looking for a person with a background as a commercial analyst (or a similar role) for us to level up the procurement side at Ridestore. We want to keep a lean organization, so it’s vital that you are strategic and, at the same time, thrive in being hands-on. As it’s a team lead role, you enjoy leading others.

- Forecast and manage inventory levels, ensuring optimal stock for each season
- Develop, optimize, and improve sales strategies based on comprehensive data analysis

In addition, being a hands-on doer who’s resilient and flexible will help you thrive in this role.

Our business has grown fast in the last few years because we put all our focus into building our two snow brands, Dope (https://www.dopesnow.com/) and MONTEC (https://www.montecwear.com/). We have come far, but to drive our brands to the next level, we’re now looking for an experienced marketing leader to step in and take care of our marketing team and the operations. This will give way for the creative side of marketing to take our branding to something new.

WHAT WE SEE IN THE ROLE ?????

In the short term, your primary focus will be to bring an experienced and objective view to Ridestore and our two brands. Working closely with Dan Stremel (https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-stremel-688521aa/), you will establish the best possible working relationship together from day one to lead Ridestore’s brand and marketing efforts, where you'll be focusing on the team and operations and Dan traversing over toward the brand and the innovation side.

You will also play a crucial role in streamlining marketing workflows and processes and introducing new and effective ways of working. In collaboration with the marketing team, you will review and improve the current marketing strategy to ensure it aligns with our goals, target audience, positioning, messaging, and tactics.

A team that works seamlessly with the rest of the crew guided by you through a visionary and hands-on leadership style that's all about change and empowerment. Your team is excited to work with you because they want to, not because they have to. Together you have been able to build top-of-class brands by developing a progressive and agile marketing team.

You have led the charge in developing a well-functioning monthly marketing strategy review process about performance and data.

And by now, we got the organizational setup pretty dialed, with all brand and marketing functions housed within the marketing team.
