If you have extensive experience in public procurement and are passionate about creating good public business deals, then this position might be perfect for you.
About the Position
This is a permanent position at the Procurement Unit, which belongs to the Finance Department of the Municipal Executive Administration. The Procurement Unit is a competent and cheerful team that places great value on quality, creating value, and good business deals.
The group consists of approximately 10 employees in roles such as procurement specialists, contract controllers, procurement lawyers, and unit managers. Tyresö also collaborates with other municipalities in Södertörn for joint procurement and the municipality's subsidiary Tyresö Bostäder.

The Procurement Unit is responsible for the municipality's purchasing and procurement processes and their development. This is an ongoing work where you are expected to participate and contribute.
