Compliance Director - Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions

Within Sandvik Mining and Rock Solutions, we’re passionate about development and new technology – advancing the world through our engineering. We have a clear focus on sustainability and have ambitious goals in the areas of Climate, Circularity, People, and Fair Play – these goals aim to help us keep focus and make the shift to an even more sustainable business. We are a global leading supplier for the mining and construction industries having around 15,600 employees with a total revenue of 41 billion SEK in 2021.
Now we’re looking for a Compliance Director to join us at our Legal and Compliance Common function who plays a central part in our business strategy. A team leader who is eager to create awareness and actively promote the importance of compliance throughout the entire organization. An excellent opportunity to learn and grow in a strategic and exciting position where we offer you to take part in defining the future of our business area on a truly global scale!
Your mission
This is a visible role responsible for our full suite of global compliance programs and culture. You work strategically and support our senior management and business area with expertise and advice in compliance matters – monitoring our business's changing needs and evolving landscape. Through communication and training, you create a strong awareness of the importance of compliance to Sandvik's reputation and profitability and ensure we are well equipped to manage both risks and opportunities. A part of your job is linking compliance with our sustainability agenda and inspiring change according to the Sandvik 2030 sustainability goals. You also benchmark and follow digital compliance trends to keep us ahead, and you ensure adherence with applicable laws, regulations, and guidelines – both within the Sandvik Group and externally.
You lead and develop a team of Compliance Officers – inspiring them strategically and in their daily operations – as well as building and developing global networks and collaborations to influence a strong compliance culture. Your ability to link compliance to business success inspires improvements and drives common synergies, and you fully engage in protecting and strengthening our company values and code of ethics. You are also our link to the Sandvik Group’s Compliance functional council ensuring collaboration across Sandvik’s other business areas and up to Sandvik Group Executive Management and the Board.
You report directly to the Business Area General Counsel. The location is in Stockholm, and some international travel is part of your job.
Your character
For this position, we need someone with a relevant degree – such as in Law, Business Administration, or Finance – combined with expert knowledge of compliance, governance, audits, and risk management. Implementing global compliance programs, driving change, and guiding senior management is part of your previous career – and experiences in the manufacturing industry are a decisive advantage. Doing business in all corners of the world requires cultural awareness and excellent communication skills in English, while knowledge of other languages, including Swedish, is a plus.
Your leadership style is inclusive, transparent, and credible. You master stakeholder management and are skilled in inspiring people around you to reach their full potential. You are also tech-savvy and want to explore how compliance matters can benefit from digital solutions. Mixing a broad perspective with analyzing complex details and critically evaluating the risks and rewards of your next steps are your key success factors. You are persistent, organized, and know how to prioritize, and your agility and passion for change inspire people around you and create a strong buy-in across the organization.

At Sandvik, we’re technology driven, innovative and entrepreneurial! For us, success is a team effort, and we value diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive culture where people can be themselves and reach their full potential.
