The job
You’re a key player in our growth agenda, and you hands-on support us in identifying, analyzing and evaluating possible targets, as well as advise on what initiatives and themes we should prioritize to keep momentum and quality in our development plans. You ensure success throughout the entire M&A process - from sourcing, due diligence, target setting, negotiation, deal closing and follow up - and you put the spotlight on revenue, profitability and tactical performance. You also serve as a significant expert when discussing and handling financial modeling, accounting, deal structuring and valuation.
Collaborating with our business management and with functional experts, and dealing with executives, advisors and various key stakeholders, you ensure a comprehensive and speedy approach for each agreement - including oversight of workstreams and tasks - to achieve the best results. You engage our division presidents and management teams, and you prepare material for CEO and Board to support the execution of our M&A agenda. Your understanding of strategic objectives and the ability to collect information and draw conclusions, provide us with an early voice on success factors and risks that contribute to or affect our M&A best practices.
In this position, you report to the Head of M&A for Sandvik Manufacturing Solutions and actively contribute in SMF Strategy and M&A management team. Our headquarters are at brand new offices in ‘Gasverket’ in central Stockholm, and this is also where you most likely will be based. Global travel is a natural part of the job.

We operate worldwide, and you must be both aware and open-minded towards the cultural differences you encounter. This also means that you need great communication skills and that you’re fluent in English, both verbally and in writing.
You’re investigative, collaborative and flexible, and you combine this with a strategic outlook and the ability to promptly take action.
