About the Job

As a procurement officer, you are a key person in MTM’s efforts to create modern, sustainable, and legally secure purchases that make a real difference for our operations and our users. You lead our procurements from needs assessment to contract and ensure that MTM has the best possible conditions to use its resources wisely, strategically, and sustainably.

In this role, you provide important support to both managers and buyers. Through your work, you help ensure quality, innovation, and stability in the services and functions that are crucial for the execution of the agency's mission.

As a procurement officer, you are also a driving force in developing our procurement and contract processes. You work proactively, share your expertise, and make it easy for the organization to make good decisions on procurement matters. Together with colleagues in the unit, you help strengthen the agency's ability to manage, plan, and follow up on operations in a professional and forward-looking manner.

This is a role where you can take responsibility, influence, and contribute to an organization that makes a difference every day. Currently, there is one procurement officer in the unit. The new position is an expansion of the existing staffing.

The position is located in the Management and Operations Support unit, which works at the heart of MTM’s governance and development. The unit has a strategic overall responsibility for HR and internal communication as well as for operational governance, financial processes, and the agency's procurements and purchases. This means that we drive and develop central processes such as operational planning, budgeting, and follow-up, internal governance and control including risk management, as well as channel strategy and intranet. The unit works closely with management, managers, and operations to create structure, quality, and long-term development in the agency. There are currently 12 colleagues in the unit.

Our office is located in Malmö, and we offer the possibility of some remote work.
