Job description

Who we are

We're bold thinkers and kind teammates, growing fast but staying grounded. Our Nordic roots and global outlook shape a culture of friendliness, creativity, and collaboration, all powered by openness and shared wins. We care deeply about doing the right thing - and doing it together. We aim to improve the flow of goods, time, and energy - and we know we can't shape the future by clinging to the past. So, we keep evolving, together.

What we do

RELEX Solutions delivers a unified supply chain planning platform for retailers and manufacturers, enabled by proven AI technology. We help companies optimize demand forecasting, replenishment, merchandising, pricing and promotions, supply chain operations, and production planning across the end-to-end value chain.

With a global team of over 2,000 professionals, we work side-by-side with our customers to solve real problems with lasting impact. Companies trust RELEX to increase product availability, boost sales, deliver actionable insights, improve sustainability, and drive profitable growth. Join us and make an impact on the world and your career!

In response to our fast growth and market expansion, we are looking for an Engineering Manager to lead our Production Scheduling team, working on production scheduling technology that lives as its own dedicated application.

What we need you to do and be

Bring your ideas. Challenge ours. Grow with us.

• You will lead and grow a software development team of 5 engineers
• You will be hands-on enough to understand the technical architecture and direction of the product, without needing to code day-to-day
• You will help define what "great" looks like for the team, in collaboration with the team itself

What you'll bring to the table

Our five values are our playbook. We speak up when things don't make sense. We stop doing what doesn't add value. We stay curious, back each other up, and make space for both innovation and laughter.

• Proven experience leading a software development team
• A software development background: understanding of architecture and technical trade-offs
• Strong facilitation and interpersonal skills: able to bring out the best in a technically strong, opinionated team without being overly directive
• Experience in manufacturing operations and how planning tools are used in practice
• Comfortable with using AI in your everyday work and developing the use of AI tools as a larger organizational strategy
• Fluent in written and spoken English
• As a bonus, we consider the experience of working with an international team, plus great communication and organizational skills

What we consider an advantage

• Specific experience with production scheduling, whether building it or using it ( e.g. Preactor , OMP, Kinaxis, or similar APS tools)

What we offer in return

You’ll be supported and given the space to thrive. We offer meaningful work, flexibility, and a culture that backs you to share your voice and be authentic.

• An international career and learning opportunities
• A rapidly growing and financially robust software company with exciting opportunities for career growth, also in the future
• Flexibility in how and where you work
• Room to thrive in a fast‑growing global company with a good market position
• Practical benefits that support work, family, wellness, and everyday life
• Annual leave
• Diverse, inclusive, and supportive work culture
• Work that meaningfully reduces waste and improves sustainability
• Ownership, autonomy and flat hierarchies
• Two paid volunteering days each year
• A fully remote‑friendly team spanning Finland and Sweden

Please note that to be considered for this position, you must be based in Finland or Sweden (to confirm exact scope; Portugal possibly acceptable and hold a valid work permit for the relevant country.
