"In my job each day is different, you never know, what the day might bring"
Arttu Kivi, Production Manager, Koskenkorva Operations, Distillation
Arttu Kivi works as a Production Manager at the Koskenkorva distillery. Arttu is responsible for the entire production process, including the distillation, the feed, the starch and other components.
"We have a flat organisational structure that works really well"
"My daily job involves lots of individual tasks and I also have some matrix management responsibilities, which bring a welcome additional challenge to my work," Arttu describes. "At Anora, we have a flat organisational structure that works really well."
"I enjoy my job because each day is different, you never know, what the day might bring," Arttu says. His work is really varied and includes a significant managerial and leadership aspect. "I can’t really say that I have a daily routine, as such. Some days, one particular area will require a lot of input, including monitoring activities and advising my colleagues."
Arttu aims to make sure that his team members are able to assume responsibility for their own work and it has worked well. "My job is fun and I enjoy coming in every day."
