Together with the other Procurement leaders, you will be a key contributor for shaping the supplier and category strategies for the components bought and fully managed by Automotive. Together with the category teams, develop new suppliers to strengthen SKFs regionalization strategy.
  • Ensure SKF high standards on sustainability are catered for, continuously identify and implement opportunities to measure and reduce CO2 per product, increase recycled content and safeguard ethical business. Actively support the make or buy decisions with excellent background knowledge on supplier capabilities.

  • Build a working environment based on speak up culture and trust.

  • Demonstrated success in building a global and agile team setup from scratch, finding the right talents for the right position.
  • Proven ability to interact and effectively influence leadership across cultures and regions.
  • Advanced writing and presentation skills; proficiency in English, both written and spoken
