Store Manager & Community Lead
Build KL's sweetest destination.
Scandy's is opening its first mini flagship store in a yet undisclosed location in Klang Valley. More than a candy shop, this will be a destination experience bringing the magic of Swedish pick & mix culture to Malaysia.

This isn't a typical retail manager role. You'll be part store manager, part event creator, part community builder, part content creator, and part entrepreneur.
