We are looking for you who have high ambitions and have the guts to make challenging decisions. If you enjoy communicating and negotiate this might be your dream job!

This is an area of rapid growth requiring an expansion of the supplier base and new ways of working. We are looking for you who want to have a key role in the process of securing the optimal supplier base and negotiate the required and necessary agreements to make this possible. If you want to work for a company at the forefront this might be the role for you!

The role
At Duni Group we are determined to work in the most ethical, responsible and resource efficient way that we possibly can. For us, innovation, quality, safety and environmental standards always goes hand in hand. We welcome the European Commission's directive to combat the environmental impact of disposable plastic products. Therefore, you will have an important role when it comes to securing alternative non- fossil based plastic solutions with the potential to compost or recycle. In this international role as a Sourcing Manager, you travel around Europe and Asia for about 20 days a year making sure that our partnerships bring us to the next level (post the ongoing Covid 19 pandemic). You will be part of our international sourcing team together with 5 other sourcing managers located in Malmö, Singapore and Poznan. You will be located at our head office in Malmö with the opportunity to work from home a couple of days a week.

Some of your exciting tasks are:

• Generate and implement efficient souring and commodity strategies
• Calculate and analyse cost break downs, as well as propose methods for reducing costs.
• Negotiate and secure attractive agreements and ensure that suppliers are constantly challenged
• Manage and expand the European supplier base for paper based packing, including supplier evaluations, as well supplier consolidation.
• Function as both strategic and operational in the commodity and work closely with planners to maintain excellent service levels
• Participate in various New Product Development projects
• Capacity and lead time management with the supplier base
• Constantly striving for improving and developing the strategic sourcing team way of working to assure a best in class function

Who are you?
You are an action-driven person with a lot of self-drive and commitment. You have a strategic mindset not minding the operational work since you have the main responsibility of your supplier’s performance. You are a champion when it comes to communication and collaboration as you will work closely with your team colleagues, product managers, project managers and suppliers.

To succeed in this role, we believe that you have a relevant post-secondary education and that you have several years of relevant procurement experience at an international company. There you have gained the knowledge on how it is to work with big suppliers, you have made a few mistakes that you have learned from, and you are now secure enough in yourself to challenge the Duni Group supplier base to secure attractive and competitive agreements. If you also have experience of handling large amount of article numbers in a business where the customer's demand can vary greatly, we see this as a big plus.

For this role communication is the key to success, and since you will come to work in an international environment you need to be fluent in English.
