SSAB - Project Manager - Group Procurement & Sustainability

SSAB is undertaking a strategic roadmap to revolutionize iron- and steelmaking, and to be the world’s first steel company to deliver iron ore-based fossil-free steel to the market in 2026. We are looking for a highly motivated person to join us in this journey as Project Manager in Group Procurement & Sustainability. Location is Stockholm, Helsinki or Borlänge with remote work opportunities.
Becoming part of the SSAB family means joining a journey. A journey that we believe is essential for the sustainability of this planet. Steel has been one of the most important materials for developing our society and it will continue to be so. In the roofs over our heads, in the bridges connecting our cities and in the cars of tomorrow. At SSAB we are proud of our history and leadership in high-strength steel. But we are also aware that the production of steel is one of the largest emitters of greenhouse gases in the world. That has to change. That is why we have developed the world’s first fossil free steel production and has committed to becoming largely fossil-free by around 2030. As part of SSAB you will be instrumental in realizing this goal and push for the green transformation of the whole steel industry.
About the position

You will also lead and support prioritized system projects and act as system owner. The job also includes developing current processes and systems within SSAB’s procurement operations. The work will be done across SSAB operations, and you will be coaching and training the teams in procurement processes and systems. You will also manage relations with both internal and external stakeholders, such as our suppliers and system providers.
You will have a key role in SSAB Group Procurement & Sustainability and have a wide contact network within the company. You will report to the Director of the Group Procurement & Sustainability team.
The position is temporary until 30th of April 2025, but might be subject to be extended.
About You
You have several years of experience from procurement, working with system and process/business development. Preferably both as a purchaser and system developer or similar. Experience from managing system implementations is a merit.
As a person, you are a team player with integrity and great social skills, which together with your competence make you a great colleague to work with. Through your solid experience, you have an independent, method-driven and results-orientated way of working.
You will not have a team formally reporting to you. Nevertheless, strong leadership skills are needed in order to take SSAB’s procurement work to the next level. We are looking for someone who can act as a role model to create involvement and engagement, and your skills in communication will be important.
In addition to working strategically, you need to be a pragmatic doer who thrives in helping hands-on to get things done. Your analytical skills will be a key competence in succeeding in this position and you do not mind deep diving into numbers to get a full understanding.
You see the variation as one of the benefits of the role and you are used to working in an international environment with different kinds of stakeholders and travelling is not a hinder for you.
We expect you to have a Master's or Bachelor’s degree in economics or technology. You have very good written and spoken English skills and have professional skills in Excel and PowerPoint.
