We are now looking for a Purchaser to join our team at our HQ in Lund, Sweden. Join our team and together we will continue to deliver great products around the world.
Our job is to supply Axis customer demand - ensuring product availability at our 8 sites around the world with the right product at the right place, time and quantity! You'll work closely with colleagues across the wider Axis organization — including Sourcing, Demand Planning, the Order Team, Sales, and Product Management — as well as externally with our suppliers.
Your main responsibility is to balance inventory and ensure product availability for one or several product categories, your portfolio and/or suppliers.

But the job is so much more than the actual buying and supply planning. A great part of your responsibility is also working with continuous improvements. Initiating and driving activities to improve our processes and collaborations internally and externally. Both short- and long-term.
We believe that you are an analytical person with a strong personal drive and a forward-leaning mindset. You are a team player but also thrive by working independently, planning and managing your own activities. You are stimulated by challenges, not afraid to act and are passionate about problem solving - independently and by collaborating efficiently in a team.
Working in a dynamic, innovative and high-paced environment is your thing and you thrive in a role where you truly can make an impact. We believe you are well-structured, adaptive, and naturally see both details and the big picture - making the right priorities and efficiently act both short and long term.
We'd love to see:
- Relevant post-secondary education in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Business Administration, Engineering, or a related field.
- At least 5 years of experience in purchasing, logistics, or supply chain management.
- Experience working with ERP systems.
- A strong interest in data analysis and data-driven decision-making.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English. Swedish is considered an advantage.
- Bonus points for:
- Experience with statistical analysis
- Experience working in the tech industry
- Extended Excel skills
We are a world leader in network video, where cutting-edge technology meets global impact.
