In other words, you will meet an eventful and challenging work in a division that is at the forefront of the industry.

Working with strategic sourcing implies that you will be active at all levels internally and establish many new contacts worldwide. You will among other things work:

We need you to be able to handle stressful situations while keeping your calm, and as your role will span over several areas, we need you to be flexible and find comfort in the fact that no two days are alike.
