Vacant job

Driven by seeing your ideas come to life? Welcome to our exciting and technology-intensive world.

We are now looking for an Operational Buyer to join our team within Systems and Energetic Materials, a broad and exciting procurement area. The role is based at Saab Dynamics in Karlskoga, where you will become part of a competent and engaged procurement team.

Your Role

In your role as an Operational Buyer, you ensure that Saab's procurement strategy, policy, and procedures are followed, while also being responsible for the entire process from purchase requisition to delivery follow-up.

Your main responsibilities include creating and managing purchase orders, monitoring deliveries, and conducting purchase preparation in close collaboration with the supplier team. You are also responsible for maintaining the register of procurement items and ensuring that export control requirements are handled and met. To strengthen cooperation with suppliers and optimize the procurement process, you measure, analyze, and communicate relevant KPIs, contributing to an efficient and sustainable supply chain.

Your Profile

To thrive and succeed in this role with us, we believe you are a status-free and solution-oriented team player with the ability to act quickly and efficiently in the present, while keeping a focus on long-term goals. You are responsible, stable, and driven, with a positive attitude that allows you to see opportunities even in challenging situations.

You likely have an education in procurement or equivalent experience that has given you a good understanding of procurement processes and a developed business sense.

Experience with business systems, particularly the procurement module in IFS or similar systems, is a great advantage, as is broad computer literacy and good knowledge of the Office suite. Since you work in an international environment, it is important that you have good knowledge of English, both spoken and written, as well as the ability to navigate cultural differences and collaborate successfully with suppliers at both tactical and operational levels.

The position requires you to undergo and be approved according to the currently valid regulations for security clearance. For positions where Saab has requirements for security classification, this may, in some cases, entail citizenship requirements.

Please note that we work with continuous selection and that the position may be filled before the final application date has passed.
