About us:

Flåm Bakeri opened in 2016 and has been a fantastic success ever since. Last summer, we moved into brand-new, spacious premises on the waterfront in the heart of Flåm. Our second location, Laksen Bakeri & Kafé in Lærdal, has seen similar growth. Together, we offer a wide range of products, including artisan breads, traditional Norwegian sweet buns, and classic international pastries – as well as local juices, sandwiches, pizza, and barista coffee. We also do daily deliveries of bread and pastry products to Myrkdalen Resort, our hotels in Flåm/Aurland and Sognaporten.

As Head of Bakery Production, you will play a central role in ensuring our bakeries deliver top-quality baked goods every day. You’ll be a key partner to Gro, manager at 3 of our venues, and help drive the development of our production processes, product range, and team culture.

• Support administrative tasks such as shift planning and recruitment
• Foster a positive and inclusive team culture with a focus on motivation, collaboration, and well-being
• Contribute to continuous improvement of production routines and product development

Qualifications:

• Certificate of apprenticeship (fagbrev) as a baker or equivalent experience in food production
• Several years of experience from an artisan bakery, with solid knowledge of production techniques and quality control
• Experience with cake baking is a plus
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to lead and inspire a team
• Driver’s license (Class B)
• Good English communication skills, both written and verbal
• Knowledge of Norwegian or another Scandinavian language is an advantage, but not a requirement

We offer:

An exciting position in an ambitious and dynamic company committed to people and community. You’ll join a proud and passionate team within one of Norway’s leading tourism companies, where we encourage both personal and professional growth. At Norway’s Best, we value diversity and inclusion – it’s reflected in our culture. Our employees are encouraged to ask questions, be themselves, and are seen and respected for who they are.
