Due to an upcoming parental leave, the purchasing department in Malmö needs to strengthen its team with an Operational Purchaser. The position is a parental leave cover that extends until August 2027.

About the Role

Based at Brenntag's Swedish headquarters in Malmö, as an Operational Purchaser, you will work on a Nordic level, with a special focus on Norway, making purchases for both internal warehouses as well as direct purchases for customers. You will be responsible for a product portfolio in close collaboration with the product manager. Based on specified material lists and order points, you will proactively ensure that the right quantity and product are available in stock for the products in your portfolio. For more complex purchases, you will maintain close communication with the product managers who make decisions regarding quantity, product, and price. It is important that you have a strategic mindset in your work, being quick to capture changes in stock levels and to communicate these with your product manager. This is a role where you will have multiple points of contact both externally and internally, and collaboration with other departments such as sales and finance is a daily occurrence.

More concretely, the position includes:

- Purchasing materials from a large number of global suppliers

- Updating and maintaining master data documents

- Collaborating closely with colleagues and departments internally

About You

You enjoy a varied workday, where both the pace and tasks can change quickly, and where collaboration is key to success.
