We offer you a flexible and self-directed job where you contribute to ensuring that the tax money of Örebro residents is used effectively. 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 with 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 analysis to contract design and document management. Your tasks also include managing framework agreements as the contract 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 major development effort where we have set our goals high. We aim to become a leading procurement unit nationally! 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 this sound like an exciting challenge? Join us on this 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, requirements specifications, prepare tender documents, etc., in close collaboration with relevant stakeholders
• support and guide our buyers in procurement and contract matters
• drive contract negotiations with suppliers
• participate in information and training initiatives for the operations
• procure agreements, framework agreements, and manage orders (renewed competition)
• create strategies for procurements, develop and improve working methods

About the workplace

The procurement unit consists of 24 people, of which we have 15 procurement officers and the rest are various strategic roles. 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 steering and leading the procurement organization throughout the 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 procurement unit.
