Job Description

At the Purchasing and Procurement Section, we have an ambitious and service-oriented team that values good collaboration. The section has a central and overarching responsibility for steering, development, follow-up, coordination, and advisory services regarding purchasing, procurement, and contracts.

The section is currently staffed by fifteen employees.

To the Purchasing and Procurement Section at the headquarters, we are now looking for a Purchasing Controller to replace a colleague on parental leave.

You will be a key support for staff at our homes across the country as well as for the headquarters' support functions.

You will work in an advisory and operational capacity, focusing on making the purchasing process clear, correct, and smooth for the business. Participation in various working groups and internal training within the purchasing and procurement area may also be part of your duties.

• Supporting institutions and the headquarters with orders and ordering procedures.
• Helping operations identify and use existing contracts.
• Providing advice on internal purchasing routines.
• Collaborating with colleagues in purchasing, finance, and core operations.

• Good knowledge of the Public Procurement Act (LOU).
• Good communication skills in Swedish, both verbal and written.

Merits:

• Experience working closely with operations with varying needs.
• Experience in purchasing from a government agency.

To succeed in this role, you must be meticulous, structured, and responsible. You are service-oriented and thrive on supporting and guiding others.
