Are you an experienced procurement professional with a business-oriented focus and good knowledge of public procurement? We offer a role where you will work strategically and operationally with the entire procurement process and contribute to developing Kungsbacka Municipality's procurement work with sustainability, innovation, and digitalization at its core.

The Role of Procurement Leader with Us

As a Procurement Leader, you will be responsible for the entire procurement process – from needs analysis and dialogue with the organization to implementation and follow-up of contracts. You will drive your own procurements within service categories and ensure they are conducted in a businesslike, professional manner and in accordance with applicable laws.

We work in a category-based manner, and in this role, you will be a key player in our development journey where each category has a dedicated procurement leader. Together with other colleagues, you will drive improvement work, develop working methods, and strengthen efficiency and robustness in the entire procurement organization.

You will play an important role in our strategic procurement work. The role means that, in addition to the operational procurement work, you will closely collaborate with your colleagues in the category team to lead and coordinate the work and development within your category team. You will also work closely with other procurement leaders for our other categories. Together, we contribute to creating an efficient, sustainable, and future-proof procurement function.

You will be part of a team of engaged and knowledgeable colleagues driven by a strong focus on the organization's mission and development. We offer good opportunities for wellness, flexible working hours, and the possibility of remote work a few days a week. With us, you will have the opportunity to influence, be challenged, and develop through a coaching leadership style – and above all, experience job satisfaction and make a real difference!
