Are you a skilled procurement officer with experience in the public sector who wants to contribute your expertise during a time of change and development? The Legal Unit is now seeking a procurement officer responsible for the authority's procurements and purchases.
The Swedish National Financial Management Authority is undergoing changes due to the merger with the Swedish Agency for Public Management on January 1, 2026. The authority is expanding, which means an increased need for support in areas such as procurement. In conjunction with the merger, the authority will change its name to the Swedish Agency for Public Management.
The Legal Unit consists of lawyers, procurement officers, registrars, and an archivist, totaling 8 individuals. We work closely together and across boundaries. The unit is led by the unit manager, who is the authority's chief legal officer.
Your Responsibilities
As a procurement officer, you will be the sole person in your role at the authority but will work closely with the lawyers. You will independently drive and execute public procurements and renewed competitive tendering in accordance with the Public Procurement Act (LOU). You will participate in the unit's development work regarding working methods, templates, and routines, and you will be responsible for conducting contract follow-ups and purchasing analyses.
Background
We are looking for someone with post-secondary education in a relevant field, such as a vocational education in strategic purchasing or procurement, or equivalent work experience deemed relevant by the employer. It is an advantage if you have an academic degree focused on public procurement, such as in law or economics.
You have at least three years of current experience in public procurement (orders, bids, and procurements according to LOU). It is advantageous if you have conducted orders from the Kammarkollegiet's framework agreements and if you have experience in leading and driving procurements.
Experience working in Kommers, experience with e-commerce (e.g., Visma Proceedo, Unit4), and experience conducting spend analyses are also advantageous.
You need to have good knowledge of the Public Procurement Act (LOU), good skills in MS Office, including Excel and Word, as well as a strong ability to express yourself in Swedish, both orally and in writing.
Your Qualities
To succeed in this role, you need to be able to work in a structured and methodical manner, even when faced with complex issues. You take independent responsibility for planning, prioritizing, and executing your tasks while ensuring that the results are of high quality.
As a person, you are confident and stable with good collaborative skills that contribute to an open and constructive work environment.
Additional Information
The position is a permanent employment that begins with a six-month probationary period. Start date is according to agreement.
