We are looking for someone ready to meet the challenges of the future – to continue building a robust and flexible purchasing organization together with us. As the unit manager for procurement, you have a central role in the ongoing work alongside the group manager and about 20 purchasers, contract controllers, and investment coordinators. You report to the purchasing operations manager and are an important member of the purchasing management group.

The procurement unit prepares and conducts procurements and implements agreements. In the role of unit manager, you have responsibilities for operational planning, personnel, work environment, and finances.

Together with the purchasing management group, you and the group manager continuously develop the operations to deliver sound business for a sustainable future based on customer needs.

Your qualifications

As a person, you have a positive attitude, are good at communicating, listening, and coaching. Furthermore, you are strategic and structured and have a good ability to create engagement and participation in the organization. Not least, you have a strong presence and can maintain a helicopter perspective and drive procurement issues towards challenging operations in a changing organization.
