Our Operations

Region Uppsala has embarked on a comprehensive journey to develop the region's logistical capabilities.

Region Uppsala is currently in an expansion phase where we are implementing a new business system and launching a central warehouse operated in-house. The central warehouse will serve as the hub for the region's material supply to healthcare and will be a key part of the region's investment in increased supply readiness.

• Support the organization with analyses and reporting based on master data. As the area is under construction, you will be involved in shaping the role, working methods, and the future development of master data management.

• Good knowledge of Excel and preferably experience with analysis and reporting tools.

Your Competencies

To succeed in this role, we believe you are:

• Structured and quality-conscious with a good ability to create order and clarity in complex information flows.
• Analytical and solution-oriented with the ability to identify areas for improvement and drive development forward.
• Communicative and pedagogical, with the ability to collaborate and create understanding between operations, logistics, and system administration.
