Commercial Partnerships Jr. Associate
Drive campaigns, coordinate suppliers, and build commercial expertise in a fast‑paced environment as our Partnerships Trainee
HAYPP GROUP
At Haypp Group, we’re driven by a higher purpose to address one of the world’s biggest public health crises: How to put an end to smoking. Globally, there are still more than 1 billion active smokers, and every year around 8 million people die from largely preventable, smoking-related diseases. Our goal is to empower adult nicotine users to make less harmful choices and, in doing so, save lives. We do this by being the go-to online retailer for safer nicotine alternatives.
Haypp Group is one of the Nordic region’s leading e-commerce retailers when it comes to safer nicotine alternatives with 17 digital storefronts and an established presence now in 7 countries. Nicotine pouches (snus) were invented in Sweden, so it makes sense that this is where our head office is based, but the US is by far our fastest growing market. Over the years, we’ve served millions of customers through our 2 dedicated US sites - Nicokick and Northerner - with that number steadily increasing.
With around 280 team members spread between Europe and the US, we’re now in the process of scaling our local operations in Arlington, Virginia. There’s no doubt that we are an innovative, fast-moving company that’s on a strong growth trajectory. And at Haypp Group, you’ll get to experience the perks of a Scandinavian-American mixed workplace without having to move overseas! Ours is a open-minded organization with energy and drive that welcomes ideas from all levels of seniority and values you for being you.
