Are you interested in commercial issues, customer meetings, negotiations, and really large contracts? Then this is the workplace for you. The Legal & Contracts department has an eventful time ahead and is therefore looking for another new colleague!
Our values lay the foundation
Our values form the foundation of everything we do. High quality, professionalism, innovation, and reliability permeate our entire organization. We, together with our subcontractors, always strive for technical excellence and to question old truths. In a turbulent world, the defense industry is more important than ever, and we at BAE Systems Bofors take our responsibility very seriously. We are now looking for you who want to help us continue to secure defense capabilities in Sweden and in our partner countries around the world.
About the position
As a Contract Manager, you will support the rest of the business commercially and manage quotes/contracts during sales/marketing and project implementation. Reporting regarding the commercial aspects, primarily to the company's management and to some extent also to the company's owners, may be included in the position.
Your responsibilities include, among others:
- Establishing and preparing quotes.
- Actively participating in customer meetings, contract negotiations, and contract writing.
- Reviewing contract terms, preparing negotiations, and being responsible for the commercial aspects during contract negotiations.
- Creating and maintaining customer orders and billing plans.

As a person, you are independent, responsible, structured, and communicative. You are characterized by personal maturity - radiating security, stability, and the ability to adapt communication to the current situation.
