If you share our passion but don't meet every qualification, we encourage you to apply anyway. You might be the perfect fit for this role, or another as we grow.

At Stegra, we're not just building a plant, we're proving that sustainable industry is possible. And to do that, we need people like you.

At Stegra, we are building a high-performing procurement function where speed, quality, and reliability are critical. You will help ensure that everything we buy flows seamlessly from requisition to payment, while also contributing to improving how we work.

We are continuously working to develop and improve our processes, flows, and level of automation, with the ambition to create a lean and highly efficient setup. As we are still in a ramp-up phase, the role will include hands-on administrative and operational tasks in the day-to-day work.

• Monitor pricing, manage 3-way match deviations, and support issue resolution
• Follow up on suppliers and deliveries to ensure reliable execution
• Identify opportunities to improve flow efficiency, reduce cycle times, and increase automation
• Collaborate closely with internal stakeholders across operations, sourcing, category management, and finance, as well as with suppliers
• Support the development of transparent and data-driven procurement processes
• Guide stakeholders in applying effective and lean procurement practices
• Work across both Direct and Indirect purchasing categories

What you\'ll bring

You are structured, proactive, and comfortable working in a dynamic, fast-moving environment. You enjoy working close to operations and take ownership of ensuring things run smoothly.

We also believe that you:

• Collaborate well with different stakeholders and have great communication skills
• Will take initiatives and drive improvements
• Can balance structure with flexibility in a fast-paced setting
• Are solution-oriented and service-minded

Specific to this role

• Degree in Business Administration, Supply Chain Management, or a related field
• Experience in operational procurement/ purchasing, or supply chain execution, preferably within industry or manufacturing
• Good understanding of end-to-end purchasing processes (P2P)
• Experience working in ERP systems; SAP S/4HANA is a plus
• Ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously
• Knowledge of sustainable procurement practices is an advantage

You will be part of Stegra\'s Purchasing team - a growing function where you will have the opportunity to influence ways of working and contribute to building a modern procurement organization.

At Stegra, you\'ll join a company where your work has real impact on the climate, the industry, and future generations. We\'re building a culture rooted in safety, trust, and inclusion, where people feel supported to grow and thrive.

You'll receive fair, competitive compensation aligned with collective agreements, along with benefits like up to 30 days of paid vacation, occupational pension, parental benefits, and insurance. If you need support with relocation or immigration, our relocation department will help guide you through the process, whether it\'s permits, housing or other practical matters. You can also enjoy perks like subsidized gym memberships and bike leases, plus the everyday benefits of life closer to nature.
