JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

As a purchaser focusing on IT, you will play a key role in ensuring that the municipality has the right digital tools, under the right conditions. You are responsible for executing orders on our licensing partner agreements and direct procurements in the IT area. You will independently lead the process from need to final solution. In your work, you will coordinate various IT competencies within the organization and ensure that issues regarding security classification, personal data, and other IT requirements are handled in a professional and structured manner. You will be part of a procurement team specialized in IT procurements where you support and help each other and work together on development and continuous improvements.

An important part of the assignment is to ensure that appropriate licensing agreements are developed and followed up. Together with the municipality's IT contract controller, you will work to maximize business benefits and extract the greatest possible value from our IT investments.

You may also work with other types of orders and procurements. With us, you will have both responsibility and the opportunity to develop as a purchaser.

At the same time, you are attentive and have an easy time building trust, creating long-term relationships, and collaborating with different functions within the municipality.
