Sandvik is determined to make the digital shift, and our objective is clear – we are providing cutting edge digital solutions for our industry. We operate through five divisions, whereof four are separate cutting tool brands, operating independently of each other with a total of around 17 000 employees worldwide.

The complexity of multiple markets, laws and regulations is an everyday challenge for us, and evaluating and managing risks and balancing them against potential opportunities or profits requires sound judgement, accuracy, and strong integrity. Within SMS, we consider compliance extremely important, and actively work to secure that we do business in a compliant manner. We’re now looking for a Chief Compliance Officer to drive this important area throughout the business and across our divisions.

Your mission
In this position, you lead our international team of compliance officers within SMS, and together you further develop our ethical culture by creating awareness and actively promote the importance of compliance throughout the organization. You follow up and work with compliance performance management across our divisions, taking responsibility for the four Sandvik compliance programs – Data Privacy, Competition Law, Trade Compliance and Anti-Bribery & Corruption. You cooperate with designated contact persons within the divisions, as well as our group function and other business areas. Active benchmarking and best practice sharing, staying on top of regulatory trends, as well as oversight of further development, are other important tasks.

Your responsibility also includes managing whistleblowing cases pertaining to the business area, developing procedures, executing plans and setting ways of working. By managing our digital tools, you ensure a relevant and efficient toolbox for driving success in this area. In addition, you drive the work related to our compliance tool, the Compliance House, used by all Sandvik’s operations to manage compliance risks and to provide insights into risk levels and compliance maturity in our entities.

The same goes for understanding the practical aspects of building and sustaining a well embedded compliance program in a global and international cooperation.
