Vacant job

Do you want to combine business, sustainability, and relationships in a role with real impact?

Stena Aluminium is now looking for a business-driven and innovative Strategic Buyer who wants to develop our purchasing function to the next level – with a focus on growth, supplier development, and future circular businesses.

This is a role for you who likes to combine strategy with action, and who thrives best when you get to drive the business forward together with others.

About the role

As a Strategic Buyer, you have a central role in our purchasing work with a focus on aluminum scrap, raw material optimization, and indirect materials. You work both strategically and operationally, with significant personal responsibility and close collaboration with colleagues, suppliers, and sister companies.

You will become an important part of developing our business, strengthening supplier relationships, and identifying new opportunities in the market – always with sustainability and long-term perspective in focus.

Examples of areas of responsibility:

• Drive and develop purchasing and our processes towards set goals and strategies.
• Develop existing supplier collaborations and identify new business opportunities.
• Work with cost optimization and analysis of raw materials.
• Participate in and lead development projects.
• Conduct supplier assessments and contract analyses.
• Stay well-informed and have an understanding of the market and its development.

The role reports to the Commercial Manager and is based in Älmhult. We are convinced that the best relationship and business are created in close contact with our suppliers, so the position involves some travel in both Sweden and Europe.

It starts with you!

We are looking for someone who combines business acumen and analytical skills with energy, curiosity, and a strong drive forward. You are a humble team player who likes building relationships, sees opportunities in change, and is motivated by creating results together with others.

You have relevant higher education or equivalent, and previous multi-year experience in purchasing and/or sales, preferably from our industry.

As a person, it is important that you are attracted by and live our values for employee engagement. At Stena Aluminium, we are team players who show care for colleagues, materials, and the environment. We share our knowledge and help each other solve problems in everyday life.

Other requirements include good computer skills, good knowledge of Swedish and English, and a valid driver's license (Category B). German is an advantage.
