Type: Full-time, 12 months (maternity cover)
Reports to: CEO
Work directly alongside the CEO and leadership team to drive strategic projects, build investor-grade deliverables at speed, and bring AI-powered ways of working to one of Scandinavia’s fastest-growing beauty brands.
CAIA Cosmetics is a Stockholm-based global beauty brand, founded in 2018 by beauty industry veterans and experts in social media and content. We create high-performing, top-quality products at accessible price points, always crafted with intention and grounded in our Scandinavian heritage of effortlessness, warmth and clean design.

ABOUT THE JOB
We’re looking for a sharp, driven, and AI-savvy professional to work directly alongside our CEO and management team — someone who can seamlessly shift between building a board-ready deck, running a cross functional project end-to-end, and finding smarter ways to get things done with the latest AI tools.
This is initially a 12-month position covering a parental leave, with the possibility of evolving depending on business needs. You’ll be the operational backbone of the leadership team: managing executive priorities, driving strategic projects from A to Z, and producing high-quality deliverables at speed. You’re not just keeping things organized — you’re making the entire management team more effective.
We’re looking for someone who treats AI as a core part of their workflow, not a novelty. You use tools like Claude, ChatGPT and automation platforms daily — and you’re always exploring what’s next.
