We are now looking for a contract manager for the areas of city buses in Uppsala and local and school bus traffic to drive and develop customer delivery with a focus on better effectiveness in our contracts and to create greater value for the customer.

Your Mission

The bus contract manager is responsible for the traffic contracts as a whole within the areas of city buses in Uppsala and local and school traffic. This includes planning follow-up and gathering and leading a cross-functional team across all departments that have expertise within the contract to drive and develop customer delivery. In your role, you will plan how the agreed goals for the business are followed up and be responsible for initiating and following up on improvement and development activities, such as customer-enhancing measures and actions to ensure contract compliance. Since there are several contract managers in the department, parts of the work may involve coordination and support for those responsible for other contracts within buses, trains, and trams.

Initiating, implementing, and following up on investigation and development work is an important part of your job. The work includes analyzing contracts, metrics, and preparing materials for negotiations. In addition to internal coordination within the administration and Region Uppsala, you will have close contact with partners such as municipalities, transport companies, and other regional public transport authorities.
