Senior Purchaser

Senior Purchaser

Are you a person who identify details while considering the big picture - making the right priorities and efficiently act both short and long term? We are now looking for a Senior Purchaser to join our team at our HQ in Lund, Sweden. Join our team and together we will continue to support our customers around the world.

Who is your future team?
You will be part of a team of 15 dedicated and talented RMA Supply and Reverse logistics professionals. The purpose of the team is to provide excellent customer service by timely delivering products in the aftermarket from our 16 external partners around the world. We work close together within the team and cross functionally in the whole Axis supply chain, delivering and optimizing product availability at the right time and place. Our overall vision within Reverse Supply Chain is to maintain a smarter, safer, and more sustainable world.

What you'll do here
Your main responsibility is to balance inventory and ensure parts availability at our RMA partners. To achieve this, you are responsible for the procurement and inventory management of spare and repair parts. You will collaborate and manage your procurement and planning with different suppliers and key stakeholders.

Typical duties include:

* Take responsibility and set strategy together with the planning team to secure availability of parts from NPI phase until End of Support.
* Set and drive an inventory management strategy to ensure availability.
* Be a key player in the new product introduction forums.
* Plan and manage purchasing orders for components and parts.
* Participate, set demands and act in projects related to your role.

Who are we looking for/Who are you?
We believe that you are an analytical person with a strong personal drive and a lean forward mindset. You are a team player but also thrive working independently, planning and managing your own activities. You are stimulated by challenges, not afraid to act and are passionate about problem solving - independently and by collaborating efficiently in a team. Working in a dynamic, innovative and high paced environment is your thing and you thrive in a role where you truly can make an impact. We believe you are well-structured, adaptive, and naturally see both details and the big picture - making the right priorities and efficiently act both short and long term.

We'd love to hear that you have/are:

* Master's or bachelor's degree in relevant areas.
* Minimum 5 years of experience working with purchasing, logistics or supply chain management.
* Experience in ERP systems, Qlik, Microsoft Office (Excel), and other reporting is desirable.
* Structured and self-motivated and know how to plan your work.
* Fluent written and verbal communication skills in both English and preferably Swedish.
* A positive and attentive person who adapt easily.
