Supplier Escalation Manager – Global Purchasing, SNB

Scania is now undergoing a transformation from being a supplier of trucks, buses and engines to a supplier of complete and sustainable transport solutions.

During the Corona crises of the year 2020, Scania was the last to stop production and the first to re-start. This is not by chance, but due to a great organizational setup, cross-functional collaboration, and a strong commitment by everyone involved. Now you have the opportunity to be part of the team making sure Scania’s global production system is able to roll despite the toughest of challenges!

The CCRM team, Cost- Capacity- and Risk Management, is looking for a new committed team member who is interested in how Scania works with securing capacity and mitigating risks in our supply chain. Do you like working in a highly dynamic, cross-functional, and international environment with a high tempo and great development possibilities? Come join us! The CCRM team makes sure all risks, short to long term, that might have an impact on Scania’s ability to deliver on customer promises are handled in a swift and professional manner. We are currently in an intensive period with many challenges, many of them dealt with globally and often together within the Volkswagen group.
