JOB DESCRIPTION

We are looking for someone who wants to make an impact and difference in our municipality and work with a diverse range of procurement areas. We need to strengthen the Procurement Unit with a buyer. The position is a 6-month temporary position with the possibility of extension.

You will mainly be responsible for procurements according to LOU and drive the process independently from start to finish, in close collaboration with the operations. Other tasks related to the buyer role will also be included in your assignment. The buyer's assignment also includes developing and ensuring a legally secure, efficient, and sustainable procurement procedure in the municipality.

You will be involved in the development of the procurement work in the municipality and contribute to fulfilling the municipality's goals, ensuring that financial resources are used efficiently, and that the municipality is a business-oriented and attractive contracting party.

You will have many internal and external contacts and support managers and employees in procurement matters. You actively contribute to improving work methods and keep yourself updated on legislation and the external environment.

QUALIFICATIONS

• Relevant education from a university, college, or vocational school primarily in procurement or work experience that the employer assesses as equivalent and/or necessary for the position.
• Knowledge of LOU.
• Experience with the Office suite.
• You can express yourself well in Swedish, both orally and in writing.

To thrive and succeed in the role, we are looking for someone who takes responsibility, maintains order, and meets new challenges with energy and commitment. You have an easy time prioritizing and planning your time and are driven by finding smart, sustainable solutions that make a real difference in the operations. You like to think outside the box, contribute to development, and tackle problems with both creativity and a constructive mindset.

You are communicative and attentive, and you thrive in collaborations where you build trust and create good relationships. With your ability to switch between details and the big picture, you can make well-founded decisions that benefit the municipality's long-term goals.

As a buyer, you are a key person. You are driven, solution-oriented, and take great responsibility for your tasks. You work in a structured and efficient manner, while also being meticulous and having good analytical skills. Weighing different options against each other and seeing the whole comes naturally to you, as does thinking economically smart and sustainably.

Since the role involves many internal and external contacts, we are looking for someone who is confident, service-oriented, and pedagogical. You are professional in your approach and can easily explain complex issues in an understandable way. You express yourself clearly and carefully in Swedish, both orally and in writing. You are also flexible and have the ability to quickly adapt when circumstances change.

Meritorious:

• Experience of qualified procurement work in public operations, especially if the experience is from municipal operations.
• Experience with Kommers as a procurement tool (which we use).
