On behalf of our client, we are seeking a Strategic Procurement Specialist for a market-leading company in the industrial sector.
About the Company
Our client is a market-leading distributor of industrial components and services to the Swedish and Norwegian industries. The company has a clear mission to contribute to a sustainable industry from social, environmental, and economic perspectives in collaboration with its stakeholders.
The company has an annual turnover of approximately 1.3 billion SEK and around 320 employees. It is part of a group listed on Nasdaq Stockholm.
Responsibilities
As a Strategic Procurement Specialist, you will play a central role in developing and implementing procurement strategies within selected categories. You will be responsible for planning and executing negotiations, analyzing procurement flows, and ensuring long-term and sustainable agreements and supplier relationships.
You will be part of a supply organization that also includes logistics, call-offs, and sourcing. While most purchases involve products and services sold to end customers, the role also includes responsibility for indirect purchases supporting the company's operations and development.
Together with colleagues in the supply organization, offering organization, and other functions, you will contribute to improving routines, processes, and strategies.
Key Responsibilities:
• Develop and implement procurement strategies within assigned categories.
• Lead and conduct price and contract negotiations.
• Evaluate, follow up, and develop existing and new suppliers.
• Plan and perform supplier assessments and improvement activities.
• Analyze procurement flows and contribute to process and routine development.
• Ensure follow-up of goals, forecasts, and results.
• Be a role model for employees, suppliers, and customers.
Qualifications
We are seeking an analytical, structured candidate with strong collaboration skills. You enjoy driving projects, have negotiation experience, and are comfortable working with both strategic and operational procurement issues.
We prefer candidates with:
• Post-secondary education in engineering, procurement, logistics, or economics – or equivalent experience.
• Experience in procurement, business development, or roles with extensive supplier contacts.
• Experience in industry, retail, or indirect procurement.
• Excellent communication skills in Swedish and English, both verbal and written.
• Proficiency in systems and experience with business systems and analysis tools.
• Ability to plan, execute, and follow up work in a goal-oriented manner.
Additional experience in industrial components, maintenance processes, and sustainability aspects in procurement (such as risk assessment, environmental impact, and legal compliance) is advantageous.
Additional Information
The position involves contacts with suppliers both in Sweden and internationally. Preferred location is the headquarters in Gothenburg, but other locations can be discussed for the right candidate. Travel is required.
Our client offers a stable and developing work environment focusing on individual skills development. You will have access to extensive training in product areas, sales, and business acumen.
The company values diversity and looks forward to welcoming a new colleague who complements the team with their expertise, experience, and personality.
