Community Manager

Hello potential future Oatly employee. It’s us, the original oatmilk company that started in Sweden back 25 or so years ago and has since expanded to the U.S. where we’ve continued growing at a rate such that we need more brilliant minds to come work with us to keep the momentum going and the oatmilk flowing.

Sustainability, health, and transparency are the core values that guide everything we do. Basically, we exist to make it easy for people to eat better and live healthier lives without recklessly taxing the planet’s resources in the process. If any of this resonates with you, then maybe you’d like work for Oatly, too. Now onto the formal stuff.

We are seeking a Community Manager to join our team and drive impactful interactions across our digital channels.

Due to business needs, qualified candidates must reside in the Eastern or Central Standard Time zones. 

Here are the things we want to hire you to do:

Community Management & Consumer Communications
Work as part of the Community Management Team to handle consumer communications across digital platforms (email, social media, and others) in both the US and globally. Actively participate in our proactive communication strategy to connect with consumers and build a strong oat loving community.

Creative Community Engagement
Engage creatively with fans, consistently finding new ways to surprise and delight them, to boost excitement about the brand and its mission.

Complaints Management
Manage quality complaints to ensure consumer satisfaction and resolve issues effectively, creating positive experiences for our loyal oat fans.

Swag Management
Coordinate swag shipments, letters, and coupon mailings for fans, influencers, and partners, enhancing the overall community experience.

Trendspotting & Cultural Relevance
Stay ahead of social trends and news stories to identify opportunities for the brand to meaningfully join conversations. React quickly to cultural moments with engaging comments to strengthen Oatly’s presence and relevance.

Here are the things we think you need:

Education & Experience
You have a Bachelor's Degree and/or strong professional experience that equips you for success in this role.

Social Media Enthusiast
You're fluent in social media (Instagram and TikTok), and passionate about helping brands leverage their platforms. Your enthusiasm for how Oatly can cultivate and grow its community will drive much of your day-to-day work.

Consumer Focused
Great community management also means excelling in consumer relations. You’re adept at handling everything from frustration to passion, keeping calm and embodying Oatly’s unique tone of voice to turn the average consumer into loyal oat advocates.

Preferred Skills
Bilingual in Mexican Spanish is a big plus.

And here’s another list of qualities we think make a good Oatly team member:

Mission-Driven
You feel connected to our mission of promoting sustainability and health in a transparent way.

Accountable Self-Starter
You're a motivated self-starter who thrives on accountability and doesn’t need direct supervision to succeed.

Another list felt redundant, so we wrote this long sentence with all the ways we sweeten the deal to work with us, like providing flexible vacation for starters, really great benefits, genuinely great coworkers who want to see the company and each other succeed, and a start-up vibe with an established company history.
