Do you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love leading people, and want to make a real impact every day?
Just as a Sandwich Artist crafts something genuine for every guest, a Leadership Artist does the same for their team, every single day. As a Restaurant Manager at Subway, you are culture-carrier, coach and operational lead all in one. You shape the atmosphere, drive results and make sure every shift counts, for the guests, for the team, and for your own growth.
Subway Sweden is entering an exciting new phase. We are strengthening our restaurant leadership as part of an ambitious growth journey. Over the coming years, the business will expand significantly across the Nordic region, and to succeed we need strong leaders who want to grow with us.
About Subway
Today, Subway serves millions of guests across over 37,000 restaurants in more than 100 countries. The first Subway in Sweden opened in 1999 and the brand has expanded to over 150 locations across Sweden. Subway’s mission is simple: “Delight every customer, so they want to tell their friends – with great value through fresh, delicious, made-to-order sandwiches, and an exceptional experience.”
We are proud to be an employer with clear career paths and a culture where we genuinely care about one another. Many of our leaders, including Area Managers and senior roles started their journey in the restaurant. This could be your start too.
Join a Team That Works Together
At Subway, we are one team at every level. From the restaurant floor to the Area Manager to the CEO, we share the same goals, the same values, and the same passion for the guest experience. Each level exists to support the next.
Your Area Manager is your closest partner. You set goals together, follow up, and celebrate wins together. Just as you show up for your team, your Area Manager shows up for you.
