To meet the needs of the business, the Contract Management department will form two new divisions. We are therefore looking for two department heads distributed across the following divisions:

Together, these will be responsible for compiling requirements and needs from across the company to ensure appropriate agreements. We provide strategic and tactical governance and unified management of our supplier agreements. The operation conducts overall analyses, development, and follow-up to ensure compliance with agreements, creates opportunities, educates, digitizes, and supports the operation to become an even better professional buyer.

Included in the assignment are, among other things:

• Keeping track of the supplier market to ensure that we procure correctly and receive the delivery we want in collaboration with project implementation and purchasing.
• Keeping current contract documents available internally and externally.
• Maintaining an up-to-date contract register.

The respective areas of responsibility of the departments are determined by which agreements and functions belong to the operations that the department supports. The new departments are distributed among 12 and 8 employees, primarily located in Solna, Luleå, and Trollhättan.
