Job Description:

We address one of the world’s biggest problems – how to end smoking. There are 1.1 billion smokers in the world and around 8 million people die every year from smoking-related diseases. Our goal is to significantly reduce death rates, save lives, and inspire people to choose smoke-free enjoyment. How? By offering better nicotine alternatives online. Haypp Group is one of the Nordics’ leading e-commerce groups with eleven store brands across seven markets, serving more than 1 million active consumers. Through brands such as Snusbolaget.se, Northerner.com and Nicokick.com we sell nicotine pouches, Swedish-style snus and other smoke-free products online. With our headquarters on Östgötagatan in Stockholm, we are around 300 colleagues, mainly based in Sweden but working across markets globally. We are an innovative and fast-moving company on an exciting expansion journey, helping more and more smokers switch to smoke-free alternatives.
