Career

We are always looking for someone with good analytical skills, and positions in finance and brand management require more than average. You should be curious, see commercial opportunities, be motivated and have a passion for our products and the company.

For the more experienced positions, past experience of the consumer goods sector is a great advantage. We are also looking for people who are motivated to develop and thrive in an effective environment.

We are flexible when it comes to background and education, and always look at the complete picture. Some of our positions require four years of higher education or a master’s degree, while others put experience ahead of education.

We often seek candidates with a background in IT, business, civil or industrial economics, strategy, HR, food science and sustainability.

We recruit graduates to the following positions:

Project Analyst

Business Controller

Brand Manager

IT Professional

Production Trainee (Only in Norway)

Internship:

We offer a number of different internships in many of our departments. You can read more about internships at Orkla here.

Trainee programme:

We have several trainee programmes in production. These are designed for graduates interested in a future career in logistics, innovation or as a production manager. Here we want to develop tomorrow’s factory managers, project managers and change managers who have a broad experience and insight into every smallest part of the value chain.

Summer jobs:

A number of summer jobs are advertised every year. If you are looking for a summer job at one of our factories, we advise you to contact the factory directly. Any summer jobs at our head office will be announced via our career pages.

If you have a good idea we are always open to discussing a possible collaboration, but we have no fixed procedures for this today. Send your enquiry to careers@orkla.no or to an employee if you’ve already decided who should be contacted.

We operate mainly in Scandinavia, the Baltics and Central Europe. If you wish, there are opportunities for working in other countries. We don’t have a formal programme for this at the moment, but we are working to make it easier. A number of employees who have had the desire to work in other countries have been given the opportunity to do this.

Much of the skills development occurs through new and challenging work tasks. Experience creates good skills, and together with your manager, you can influence tasks and processes at a high level.

We also have more formal skills development in terms of different course programmes. This happens through our own educational institute, Borregaard Hovegaard. Here, both specialisation courses and organised global leadership development programmes are held.

No, unfortunately, we do not accept open applications for unspecified positions at Orkla. All of our available jobs are published at careers.orkla.com and applications must be submitted through our careers portal. You can register a general profile and request e-mail alerts when we publish positions that may interest you.

If you want to work at one of Orkla’s factories, we recommend that we make direct contact with the factory you want to work at. Either by telephone or e-mail.
