You will participate in and lead procurement projects within areas such as publicly funded transport, traffic technology, and mobility solutions.

• Manage and further develop existing contracts.
• Follow up on contracts, suppliers, and deliveries with a focus on quality and goal achievement.
• Act as advisory support to buyers in procurement, tendering, and contract matters.
• Contribute to the development of working methods, processes, and follow-up models.

Qualifications

• University degree in law, economics, logistics, or other education assessed as equivalent by the employer.
• Several years of experience working with procurement processes, purchasing, or contract management.
• Good knowledge of LOU and experience in public affairs.
• Experience in project management or leading processes with clear deliverables.
• Very good skills in Microsoft Office.
• Very good ability to express yourself in speech and writing in Swedish.

Key Competencies

• Analytical and structured, ensuring that complex issues result in concrete decisions.
• Solution-oriented and thrive in complex contexts.
• Take responsibility and drive your assignments forward with a focus on delivery.
• Communicative and relationship-building, thriving in a role with many contact points where you build trust over time.
• Innovative and want to contribute to improving working methods and processes.
• Feel confident making decisions even when not all conditions are given.

Preferred Experience

• Experience working in a politically governed organization.
• Experience in supplier follow-up.
• Experience working in the passenger transport sector, e.g., public transport.
• Experience in procurement projects within the IT or technology sector.

Conditions

With us, you will have a role where you contribute to creating a more accessible and functional city for everyone. You will become part of an organization with a clear societal mission and good opportunities for development.

We offer, among other things:

• Wellness benefits
• Flexible working hours
• Centrally located premises (from autumn 2026)
• Several other benefits that contribute to a sustainable balance between work and leisure

Selection and interviews take place continuously – we warmly welcome your application!
