  • Collaborating closely with internal/external expertise in order to cover all relevant commercial aspects of a proposal to ensure that the proposal and contract align with company policies
  • Leading and/or support complex negotiations with customers and partners, including customer interaction

  • Several years of experience in major contract negotiations

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills in both English and Swedish
  • Experience in an international environment
  • Excellent commercial mindset, analytical and problem-solving capabilities
  • Ability to navigate complexity and ambiguity with ease
  • Team player who is skilled in navigating a matrixed organization with the ability to lead cross-functional teams and build consensus
  • Curiosity, creativity, and innovative commercial thinking – uncomfortable with the status quo
  • Experience in public/government procurement, tendering processes and commercial contracts is a plus
  • A completed degree in law, business administration or another relevant educational background

This position requires that you pass a security vetting based on the current regulations around/of security protection. For positions, requiring security clearance additional obligations on citizenship may apply.

What You Will Be Part Of

Bid Office within our Commercial department is a team who strives to ensure that all parts of our customer offerings are commercially optimized in order to maximize our chances to win and deliver profitable business. We operate across Kockums' Business Units as a centralized function covering a broad range of responsibilities such as customer requirements, business/contract set-up, bid strategy, contract terms & conditions, calculation and pricing. Our work is performed in close cooperation and coordination with Marketing & Sales, Corporate Legal, Treasury, Finance and other parts of Commercial such as Industrial cooperation and Trade Compliance.

Behind our innovations stand the people who make them possible. Brave pioneers and curious minds. Everyday heroes and inventive troubleshooters. Those who share deep knowledge and those who explore sky-high. And everyone in between.

Joining us means making an impact together, contributing in our own unique ways.
