Business Controller for Scania Purchasing Powertrain

Scania Purchasing is responsible for purchasing products and services for all of Scania's units in the world. The Head office for Purchasing is located in Södertälje. Purchasing is currently divided into four departments; two are responsible for purchasing direct materials for Scania's trucks, buses and Power solutions and two are responsible for purchasing spare parts, superstructures and indirect materials. Scania is currently in a shift from being a supplier of heavy vehicles to a supplier that offers complete and sustainable transport solutions. In parallel with this, Scania is leading the development of large common projects within TRATON, so this position at Purchasing will also give a chance for collaboration within the TRATON group.

We are currently looking for a new ambitious colleague who wants to join and strengthen our team and develop our business!

In your Business Controller role, you will work closely and support the Purchasing department for Powertrain and at the same time be part of the Purchasing Controller team (SZB). You will report directly to the Group Manager Business Control and have a dotted line to the Purchasing Manager for Powertrain. You will also work in cross-functional processes and have a wide network with other finance departments at Scania. One of the biggest and most exciting challenges in finance at Scania right now is the transition to more automated working methods. It covers everything from processes to systems and will enable more time for business support and lead to us working more proactively.

Your manager
I have worked at Scania for 9 years where I have had various positions as Business Controller in Production and Logistics and Project Controller at Scania's project office. Since August 2021 have I been responsible for the Business Controller team at Purchasing. Today my group consists of 6 people with a good spread both in terms of age, gender and culture. Now we need to expand the team with one more Business Controller. It is with pleasure I lead this group that works result-oriented and is constantly driven by achieving short- and long-term goals. We are a strong team, which together solves the challenges we face and most important of all is that we have fun at work.
