About the Role

As a tactical buyer, you will have significant responsibility for your supplier base and will handle both operational and more strategic tasks. You will have many contacts internally and with our suppliers worldwide. This means that you will work based on established routines but also handle urgent matters and solve problems. Together with your colleagues, you will ensure good purchasing quality based on the needs of the business and work on continuous improvements of our supply chain.

Your responsibilities include:

• Handling purchase orders and invoices.

• Optimizing material availability based on business needs.

• Preparing and conducting negotiations with suppliers.

• Participating in the development and implementation of purchasing strategies based on cost-effectiveness, delivery precision, and the right quality.

A Moment in Your Day

You start your day by checking the delivery status from your suppliers and preparing for the morning pulse meetings in production, where you can receive points that need to be resolved for daily production. A supplier has delivery issues, and you call a cross-functional meeting to determine what needs to be done to achieve a smoother production process, both with the supplier and internally. The team then gathers for a common break. You joke with a colleague who forgot to bring their sandwich and once again buys something from the vending machine. Later, you participate in a project meeting where you clarify product requirements so that you can start the procurement of prototype hardware. You collaborate with the strategist responsible for commodities to develop proposals on who should receive inquiries and outline the plan for how procurement should proceed.

There are 9 people in your team, responsible for purchasing and planning production materials in Trollhättan. The team consists of mixed ages and experiences, creating a very good collaborative climate and atmosphere in the group.
