Vacant job

Do you want to combine business, sustainability, and relationships in a role with real impact?

Stena Aluminium is now looking for a business-driven and innovative Strategic Buyer who wants to help develop our purchasing function to the next level – with a focus on growth, supplier development, and future circular businesses.

This is a role for you who likes to combine strategy with action – and who thrives best when you get to drive the business forward together with others.

About the role

As a Strategic Buyer, you have a central role in our purchasing work with a focus on aluminum scrap, raw material optimization, and indirect materials. You work both strategically and operationally, with significant personal responsibility and close collaboration with colleagues, suppliers, and sister companies.

You will become an important part of developing our businesses, strengthening supplier relationships, and identifying new opportunities in the market – always with sustainability and long-term perspective in focus.

Examples of areas of responsibility:

• Drive and develop purchasing and our processes towards set goals and strategies
• Develop existing supplier collaborations and identify new business opportunities
• Work with cost optimization and analysis of raw materials
• Participate in and drive development projects
• Conduct supplier assessments and contract analyses
• Keep yourself well-informed and have an understanding of the market and its development

The role reports to the Commercial Manager and is based in Älmhult. We are convinced that the best relationships and business are created in close contact with our suppliers, so the position involves some travel in both Sweden and Europe.

It starts with you!

We are looking for you who are a person that combines business acumen and analytical ability with energy, curiosity, and a strong drive forward. You are a humble team player who likes to build relationships, sees opportunities in change, and is motivated by creating results together with others.

You have relevant education from university/college or equivalent, and you have previous multi-year experience in purchasing and/or sales, preferably from our industry.

As a person, it is important that you are attracted to and live our values for employee relations. At Stena Aluminium, we are team players who show care for colleagues, materials, and the environment. We share our knowledge and help each other solve problems in everyday life.

Other requirements include good computer skills, good knowledge of Swedish and English, and a valid driver's license (Category B). German is an advantage.
