Vacant job

Are you looking for the next step, thrive when working with suppliers, and want to play a vital role in our future journey? Then this might be the perfect opportunity as a Commodity Buyer at Sourcing!

Who is your future team?
Global Sourcing's task is to create and maintain the best possible supplier base that can drive Axis' continued growth. We ensure we have the most suitable suppliers and strive for their maximum contribution, with long-term partnerships as the ideal foundation.

What will you do as a Commodity Buyer?
The main focus as a Commodity Buyer will be to drive and manage the work related to the high-volume phase of our products, ensuring that our Suppliers' current and future capacity is well aligned with Axis' needs. Most importantly, you will secure our Suppliers' professional cooperation and deliveries to the respective parties, whether it be an external Electronic Manufacturing Services (EMS) partner or an Axis warehouse. This work will be done both on an individual basis and as part of our cross-functional process regarding sales and operational planning (S&OP).

Working with a high-volume focus means solving ad-hoc operational tasks arising between suppliers and manufacturing partners, but also involves more tactical initiatives such as taking the lead or initiating changes of suppliers, setting up buffer stocks, or other measures that will increase availability in the supply chain.

You will have one more colleague in the team with the same role, and together you will develop our ways of working regarding how we secure our suppliers' capacity for both today and the future. Most likely, you will develop different methods based on the different material purchase categories in the team, all requiring their own approach.

You will also work closely with Commodity Managers and provide vital input to the different commodity teams and strategies, cooperating specifically on questions around capacity and delivery performance.

In the role you will furthermore:

• Take main responsibility (within electromechanics and sourced products) for the escalation process where our external manufacturing partners highlight delivery issues, i.e., to build a clear understanding of the status and take first action with suppliers to solve potential delivery issues.
• Evaluate and monitor suppliers' production capacity, solve various ad-hoc issues in the supply chain to minimize delivery disturbances, and work with risk mitigation where needed.
• Track, maintain, and improve data quality in our systems.
• Find and address process improvements within your area of responsibility.
• Be responsible for developing suppliers' performance to support Axis' vision, specifically in the areas of delivery precision, flexibility, and availability.

This position is very important because you will have a direct impact on Axis' product availability and thereby an immediate connection to our continued success.

The position requires approximately 10–15 days of travelling a year.

Who are we looking for / Who are you?
We believe that you are a relationship builder who enjoys working together in a team. You are analytic, well-structured, and result-oriented with a keen interest in the business. We also think you are an open-minded individual with a strong drive who likes to take the lead and enjoys a fast-paced environment where the ability to act quickly is key.

We'd love to hear that you have/are:

• A degree in Industrial Economy, Business, Supply Chain Management, Procurement, or similar.
• At least 2 years of experience from purchasing, sourcing, or supply chain, with a clear benefit if that is from an international environment.
• Excellent MS Office skills.
• Experience from working in ERP and IT systems.
• Excellent skills in English, both orally and in writing.
• Self-motivated in exploring and integrating AI in problem solving.
