If you're passionate about management systems, operational excellence, and creating practical improvements that make a real difference, we'd love to hear from you. About the role As our Quality Manager, you'll play a central role in strengthening how we work across CWS. You'll be responsible for developing and maintaining our Integrated Management System while ensuring our operations continue to meet ISO standards and regulatory requirements. But this role goes beyond compliance. You'll work closely with Operations, Leadership, and Group Compliance to identify improvement opportunities, strengthen processes, and help build a culture where quality, safety and continuous improvement are part of everyday work. This is a hands-on role where you'll balance governance with practical implementation—translating requirements into processes that genuinely support the business. In this role, you will: Own and continuously develop the CWS Integrated Management System (IMS). Ensure compliance with ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ISO 27001. Plan and conduct internal audits while supporting external certification audits. Drive continuous improvement initiatives together with Operations and business leaders. Facilitate risk assessments, supplier evaluations and non-conformity management. Develop practical processes, routines and documentation that support daily operations. Deliver training and increase awareness around quality, compliance and management systems. Collaborate closely with Group Compliance and cross-functional stakeholders across Foxway. This role requires on-site presence at least four (4) days per week and is based primarily in Växjö, where you'll work closely with our operational team. Occasional travel between Foxway locations is expected to enable close collaboration with operations and stakeholders. We believe you have Around five (5) years or more of relevant experience within Quality Management, Integrated Management Systems, Compliance, Operational Excellence, or similar fields. Practical experience working with ISO management systems, particularly ISO 9001, ISO 14001, ISO 45001 and ideally ISO 27001. Experience conducting internal audits and supporting certification processes. A background from operations, manufacturing, logistics, warehouse or other operational environments where quality systems play a key role. Proven experience driving continuous improvement and implementing process changes across an organization. The ability to initiate, drive and follow up improvement activities from idea through implementation. Experience facilitating workshops, analysing business needs, and translating them into practical processes and solutions. Fluency in AI-powered and IT tools to improve processes, documentation, and ways of working. Strong communication and stakeholder management skills with the ability to influence across different functions. A structured, pragmatic and solution-oriented way of working. Fluency in Swedish and English is required. Norwegian fluency is a merit. To thrive and succeed with us... Curious. Passionate. Committed. Courageous. These four values guide everything we do at Foxway, and we're looking for someone who shares them. You have a hands-on mindset—you don't wait for perfect input but proactively develop proposals, documentation and ways of working together with process owners. You're someone who enjoys turning complexity into practical solutions. Rather than maintaining processes for the sake of documentation, you're motivated by making them work better for the people using them every day. You build trust across the organization. You communicate confidently with different stakeholders, and know how to influence without relying on formal authority. You turn improvement into action. You're equally comfortable facilitating audits, leading workshops, or working alongside Operations to identify practical improvements. Proactive and collaborative, you're driven by finding better ways to strengthen quality, efficiency, and the overall customer experience. Most importantly, you want your work to contribute to a more sustainable and circular way of managing technology. Why join Foxway? Help shape how quality and continuous improvement evolve across our CWS business. Play a key role in maintaining and developing management systems that support our long-term growth.
