What Downing offers you

Downing provides a modern and flexible work environment with a hybrid work model, where you’ll spend three days per week at the centrally located Stockholm office. You’ll have great opportunities to influence the Nordic operations and work closely with colleagues across the Nordics and the UK. The role combines independent responsibility with strategic involvement in key projects and investments. 

The company is guided by strong values, focusing on sustainability, long-term impact, and positive social contribution, which are reflected in all aspects of its operations.
