Vacant job

Are you a flexible team player who enjoys working broadly and agilely within procurement?

TK Elevator is growing – and is looking for a strategic buyer for its Swedish team. Here you will have the opportunity to influence, develop, and take a comprehensive approach to several procurement areas in an international company with a future-oriented vision.

As a Strategic Buyer at TK Elevator, you will belong to the purchasing department where your team consists of a purchasing manager, two strategic buyers, and several local buyers/purchasers. As a team, you will work towards both the Swedish and Nordic markets and will therefore have a lot of contact with colleagues in the Nordic countries.

You will be based at TK Elevator's headquarters in Stockholm/Skärholmen but will also visit other Nordic offices and suppliers in Norway, Denmark, and Sweden. The purchasing volume in the Nordic region is approximately 1 billion SEK.

More about the role 💜

In the role of Strategic Buyer, you will help find synergies between Nordic units and five newly acquired companies in Sweden. You will work closely with the Fleet Manager and other buyers and report to the Head of Supply Chain and Purchasing, Nordics, who will also be available as support.

The company is on a strong growth journey, and for the right person, there are great development opportunities. At the Nordic headquarters, about 50 employees work in areas such as sales, new installations, HR, and finance. They work in the business system Visma, and communication occurs in both Swedish and English. Parking spaces and charging stations are available for those who drive to work near the premises. On Tuesdays, a breakfast buffet is served!

Responsibilities

In the role of Strategic Buyer at TK Elevator, you will:

• Be a key player in the purchasing organization that is under construction

• Review and collect volumes, prices, agreements, and specifications

• Optimize the supplier portfolio and seek new suppliers in the global market

• Work for continuous improvements and cost reductions through enhanced supplier collaboration

• Prepare procurements

• Participate in and independently drive procurements

• Follow up and report savings

Who are we looking for? 💜

You may be a recent graduate or have a few years of professional experience. We place great emphasis on your personal qualities and that you have a good understanding, a desire to learn more, and a genuine interest in procurement and purchasing. It is particularly important that you enjoy working broadly and see it as a fun and educational opportunity to immerse yourself in several product categories and projects simultaneously.

We also see that you are someone who looks long-term at this role and wants to grow with the company. Furthermore, you are meticulous, analytical, and skilled at reading and understanding agreements. You will belong to an extroverted and open-minded team, and to thrive, we see that you are a social and cheerful person who is unpretentious, collaborative, and contributes to a pleasant atmosphere among colleagues.
