About Purch

”Purch was founded in 2010 when a significant need for strategic and structured purchasing in healthcare and social services was identified.

This allows providers to spend more time on their patients, resulting in higher quality and reduced waiting times, while also saving money on their purchases and shopping securely.”

About the Project Manager Position

In the role of Project Manager at Purch, you will work with project management, data-driven analysis, change management, and negotiations. All within the framework of strategic purchasing in healthcare, focusing on private actors. Together with your team, you will work with clients on a project basis as well as assignments where you take full responsibility for the client's purchasing function.

In this role, project management and change management are two important cornerstones, meaning that you are proactive and independent. Purch works data-driven, and analysis of purchasing data in Excel and other systems is part of the daily work. The role involves varied workdays with a particular focus on both competence and business development for Purch's clients.

Many Project Managers at Purch also have an internal area of responsibility in addition to external assignments. Currently, there is an opportunity to take on roles such as Membership Manager and Fleet Manager.

As a Membership Manager, you will have overall responsibility for Purch's member clients, ensuring they receive maximum value from their membership and Purch's purchasing agreements. You will support new members in the startup phase, educate and guide the organization on how to use the agreements, and build strong and long-term relationships with both decision-makers and operational users. The role combines client dialogue, advisory, and analysis where you follow up on purchasing data, measure contract adherence, and identify development opportunities. With a proactive approach, you will capture deviations, initiate actions, and drive improvements that strengthen both the client's business and Purch's offerings.

In the role of Fleet Manager, you will work closely with Purch's team at a larger client. You will have overall responsibility for the client's fleet (approximately 200 vehicles), including company cars and operational vehicles, ensuring effective agreements, structure, and cost control. At the same time, you will be responsible for the client's purchasing-related service desk – a central function where you handle incoming inquiries, provide quick and professional support, and coordinate matters further with colleagues in the team. This role suits you if you enjoy being the spider in the web, working solution-oriented, and creating a high level of service in combination with operational purchasing work.
