Job description

Do you want to bring structure, ownership and a clear way of working to a business‑critical part of the supply chain? In this newly created position, you shape how internal suppliers are managed from the ground up.

About the job

You join the Operational Order Management Office and take dedicated ownership of internal suppliers – the Sandvik production units and sister brands within Sandvik Machining that Seco buys parts from. You bring structure to escalation, master‑data quality and supplier performance, using disciplined ways of working in an internal supplier context. You report to the Operational Order Management Office Manager, with a dotted line to the S&OP Cross‑brand Lead.

Job responsibilities

• Own escalated purchase order exceptions for internal orders, including delivery, quality and invoice deviations.
• Act as the single point of ownership and escalation for internal supplier issues.
• Prepare, run and follow up supplier performance dialogues.
• Monitor quality, delivery and cost KPIs, and lead root‑cause problem solving with relevant stakeholders.
• Set up new internal suppliers and maintain supplier and item master data in the ERP system.
• Onboard internal suppliers to standard processes and support continuous improvement across functions.

Location and flexibility

This position is based in Fagersta, Sweden. A hybrid working setup lets you work remotely up to two days per week.

Your profile

You're an analytical and structured problem‑solver with experience from supply chain, purchasing, planning or order management. With a strong understanding of supplier performance, you know how service, working capital and cost are connected — and you're comfortable turning that insight into action.

Background requirements

• Several years of experience in a related position, such as operational or tactical purchasing, supply chain, planning or order management.
• Good understanding of how supplier performance affects service, working capital and cost.
• ERP system knowledge and experience maintaining master data; M3 experience is an advantage.
• Advanced education in supply chain, procurement, industrial engineering, business administration or a related field — or equivalent experience.

You build close links across a supply network and communicate clearly with different stakeholders. Organized and focused, you drive escalations to closure, stay steady in changing situations and enjoy creating better ways of working together.
