Your duties
You will be responsible for challenging, developing and optimising Scania’s global supplier base in your specific product range. Your main task will be creating strategic plans and activities to improve the quality, delivery precision and total cost of your product range.

You will negotiate commercial agreements, actively developing existing and future suppliers in keeping with Scania’s high standards. You will work closely with purchasing colleagues throughout the Volkswagen Group, with quality managers, production and design.

We’re looking for candidates who are professional, creative, flexible, and results-oriented. You will work with many contacts at different levels internally and externally, so good negotiation, communication and cooperation skills are important. You’re well organised and analytical, enjoy a fast tempo and can create strategic, comprehensive solutions to achieve agreed objectives.

The role involves a large international network and some travel, so you will need to be proficient in both written and spoken Swedish and English. German would be an advantage.
