Lager 157 has entered Germany — and now it's time to scale.

We're looking for a Country Manager Germany who can lead our next growth phase: building strong teams, securing operational and legal excellence, and developing a performance culture that aligns fully with Lager 157’s values and way of working.

This role is for a hands-on, structured, and people-focused leader who knows that real growth comes from routines, leadership on the floor, and strong cross-functional collaboration.

Lager 157 is an international fashion brand with strong roots in Swedish textile history. We stand for DENIM & BASICS – A LIFESAVER, offering great basics for all people at the best value for money. With our principle of "102%" we strive to improve every day — across all countries, teams, and touchpoints. Our stores are structured, concept-driven, and connected across borders. With 90+ stores across the Nordics and one recently opened in Bremen, we’re now ready to grow Lager 157 Germany — sustainably, legally, and with excellence in execution.
