Do you want to help shape the future purchasing organization?

We offer you a flexible and self-directed job where you contribute to ensuring that the tax money of Örebro residents provides the greatest possible benefit. Become our new procurement officer.

About the position

As a procurement officer with us, you will have many colleagues. We are organized into two areas where you will primarily work on either the procurement of goods or services (general, IT, and construction). You will have a project-leading and consultative role in the procurements you are responsible for. You will work through the entire procurement process from needs and market research to contract design and document management. Your tasks also include managing framework agreements as the contractual manager and collaborating with the unit's strategic functions in the follow-ups that occur during the term of the agreements. We are currently undergoing a significant development effort where we have set high goals. We aim to become a procurement unit at the national forefront! We know that employees who feel good can also deliver, which is why we focus on the work environment. We offer you flexible working hours, autonomy in your processes, and the opportunity to perform part of the work remotely. Does that sound like an exciting challenge? Join us on the journey!

Examples of tasks:

independently manage large and complex procurements of goods, services, and construction
drive, lead, plan, and control procurements throughout the entire procurement process
work with needs analysis, market analysis, procurement strategy, specifications, and prepare tender documents, etc., in close collaboration with relevant stakeholders
support and guide our purchasers in procurement and contract matters

participate in information and training initiatives for the operations
procure contracts, framework agreements, and manage call-offs (renewed competition)

About the workplace

The purchasing unit consists of 24 people, of which we are 15 procurement officers and the rest consist of various strategic services. We are part of the Department for Strategic Supply and Development, which also has an extended responsibility for strategic preparedness issues. Our unit is responsible for directing and leading the purchasing organization within the entire municipality. This responsibility includes enabling the municipality's operations to make purchases on time, at the right cost and quality. There is strength in size, and therefore we collaborate with other municipalities and municipal companies in Örebro County by conducting coordinated procurements under the leadership of our purchasing unit.
