Versatile tasks from expert work to customer service

Delicious products and good solutions are created through cooperation – every role is important! Vaasan needs several expert groups that work in areas such as sales, finance, information management, procurement, human resources, product development, and communications and marketing. Many of them work at our headquarters in Salmisaari, Helsinki.

Our bakeries need experts to ensure quality, occupational and product safety, continuous improvement of operations and supervisory tasks, among other things . In the Vaasa bakery stores located in different parts of Finland, customers are served by salespeople and store managers who run the stores. 

Some of the expert roles and supervisory tasks extend across national borders (Finland & the Baltics).

With us, you won't be able to bread right away

In addition to bread, we bake wonderful grooves. This means that we offer you opportunities to develop professionally in your current area of expertise or to increase your competence in a completely new area. There are numerous examples of Vaasan employees who have changed from one job and function to another: a production manager has become an IT professional or a dispatch worker has become a procurement assistant.

As part of a large international Lantmännen family, you can build a career both at home and abroad – in any part of the Lantmännen organisation.
