Vacant job

Are you a flexible team player who enjoys working broadly and agilely in procurement? Then you have the chance now! 

TK Elevator is growing – and is looking for two strategic buyers for its Swedish team. Here you will have the opportunity to influence, develop, and take a holistic approach to several procurement areas in an international company with a future-oriented vision.

As a Strategic Buyer at TK Elevator, you will belong to the procurement department where your team consists of a procurement manager, two strategic buyers, a Fleet Manager, and several local purchasers/contractors. As a team, you will work towards both the Swedish and Nordic markets and will therefore have a lot of contact with colleagues in the Nordic countries.

You will be based at TK Elevator's headquarters in Stockholm/Skärholmen but will also visit other Nordic offices and suppliers in Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. The procurement volume in the Nordic region is approximately 1 billion SEK.

More about the role

In the role of Strategic Buyer, you will help identify synergies between Nordic units and five newly acquired companies in Sweden. You will work closely with the Fleet Manager and other buyers and report to the Head of Supply Chain and Purchasing, Nordics, who will also be available as support.

The company is on a strong growth journey, and for the right person, there are great development opportunities. Approximately 50 employees work at the Nordic headquarters in areas such as sales, new installations, HR, and finance. They work in the business system Visma, and communication occurs in both Swedish and English. Parking spaces and charging stations are available for those who drive to work near the premises. Breakfast buffet is served on Tuesdays!

Job Responsibilities

In the role of Strategic Buyer at TK Elevator, you will:

• Be a key player in the procurement organization that is under development
• Review and collect volumes, prices, contracts, and specifications
• Optimize the supplier portfolio and seek new suppliers in the global market
• Work for continuous improvements and cost reductions through expanded supplier collaboration
• Prepare procurements
• Participate in and independently drive procurements
• Follow up and report savings

Who are we looking for?

To succeed in the role of Strategic Buyer at TK Elevator, we believe you have several years of experience in strategic procurement work and are a skilled negotiator. It is particularly important that you enjoy working broadly and see it as a fun and educational opportunity to engage in several product categories and projects simultaneously.

You are confident in yourself and enjoy finding solutions and improvements. We place great emphasis on your personal qualities and that you have a good understanding, a willingness to learn more, and a genuine interest in procurement and purchasing.

We also see that you are a person who looks long-term at this role and wants to grow with the company. Furthermore, you are meticulous, analytical, and skilled at reading and understanding contracts. You will belong to an extroverted and open-minded team, and to thrive, we see that you are a social and cheerful person who is unpretentious, collaborative, and contributes to a pleasant atmosphere among colleagues.
