Your mission
With your ethical compass, you’re responsible for the further implementation of the Sandvik Compliance program which consist of Data Privacy, Anti-Bribery and Corruption, Competition Compliance, Third-Party Management and our Speak Up program into the divisions and sales areas of the business area as well as ensure integrity and a strong compliance culture. You 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 potential risks and opportunities. 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, policies, and guidelines – both internally within the Sandvik Group and externally.
You lead and develop a team of Compliance Officers and extended compliance resources within the divisions and sales areas – inspiring them strategically and in their daily operations – as well as build and develop 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 conduct.
You’re an important link for the SMR reporting line 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 and with a dotted line to the Head of Group Compliance, from a flexible position within one of our main units in Northern Europe such as Sweden or Finland.


Your character
For this position, we need someone with a relevant degree – such as in Law or Business Administration – combined with extensive compliance program experience, preferably from an international organization. Implementing global compliance programs, driving change, and guiding senior management is part of your previous career – and experiences in the manufacturing industry are advantageous. Doing business in all corners of the world requires cultural awareness and excellent communication skills in English, while knowledge of other languages 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’re 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’re 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.
