Vacant job

We are now looking for a Business Developer with a focus on logistics. Please submit your application by June 26.

About the Position

The Supply Administration is responsible for a large part of the Region of Västra Götaland's logistics and supply operations. This includes the supply of materials, textiles, assistive devices, and pharmaceuticals, as well as the production and distribution of food and meals. We transport a large volume of laboratory samples, mail, and waste. We also supply home-care patients with prescribed assistive devices and pharmaceutical-adjacent products according to specific agreements with the region's municipalities.

The Development Unit within the Supply Administration is responsible for driving strategic development, quality-driven business development, process orientation, and innovation in line with the Administration's mission and goals.

As part of this mission, the Development Unit is responsible for analyzing, planning, and implementing business changes to streamline or otherwise develop logistics and supply processes, based on the Administration's overarching goals and the organization's established needs. In some cases, this involves overarching long-term strategic work, while in others it involves more operational/tactical development of logistics processes.

You will primarily work with:

• Leading administration-wide development projects
• Investigating, analyzing, and preparing decision-making materials
• Leading implementation projects of decided changes
• Providing expert competence within logistics
• Supporting the organization in change management
• Monitoring the external environment and analyzing trends, needs, and opportunities to ensure the Administration's development work is relevant and forward-looking
• Collaborating with other administrations, the region's central development functions, and external actors to promote learning and innovation

The position is located at Regionhuset in Gothenburg. Travel within Västra Götaland occurs regularly in this role.
