4 days ago

Älmhults Kommun, Sweden IKEA Full time

Company Description

Are you motivated by building relationships and creating business opportunities? Are you truly interested in the automation & machinery development arena? Do you have a development mindset and are you comfortable exploring and not having all the answers?

At IKEA, we do things a little differently. We think differently, act differently, and work differently as well. We like to break things, like rules, and then make things, like music-playing lamps and beds disguised as sofas. Even plant balls that help us look after our planet. It's all part of our vision - to create a better everyday life for the many. By 2030, we hope to help millions more look forward to going home.

Want to help make this happen? Join our global Purchasing Development business It is filled with curious and passionate people that get energy from influencing, interacting, and working together to deliver great business results. Does it sound like your kind of people? Then why not apply?

Together with engineering teams, we procure different types of machinery to run production processes like: board production, sawmill, surface treatment, wood formatting, packaging system, logistic equipment and automation of production. The sites we supply, as well as our supplier base, has an international scope with the point of gravity in Europe.

Standardization and automation are vital to create cost excellence in operations and processes. As a low-cost company, we need to keep investing to simplify, automate and standardize what we do. By accelerating the development of scalable solutions, we can boost our business model where larger volumes lead to lower costs, which in turn leads to even better products at lower prices.

  • Lead the procurement activities for capital expenditure projects, including negotiating contracts and internal requirements.
  • Identifying and engaging with innovative suppliers that can provide cutting-edge solutions, manage supplier relationships and monitor their performance to ensure high-quality deliverables.

  • Develop procurement strategies and ensure project timelines and budgetary goals are achieved.
  • Supplier evaluations and risk assessments to ensure compliance.
  • Work in a cross-functional team environment with other departments to ensure seamless execution of procurement activities.

Qualifications

  • Senior technical commodity experience in the area of indirect spend within a manufacturing and/or production automation environment.
  • Experience in leading complex and critical procurement/development projects.
  • An interest in Industrial - discovering the latest technologies in that sector.
  • Effectively navigate the complexities of the modern manufacturing environment.
  • You know economics and finance – Understanding of company financials: cash flow, P&L, income statements and cost breakdowns.
  • Passion for business and the end-goal – Both will come in handy when negotiating with suppliers, where you are to be strict but fair. A solution-oriented person, concentrating on problem-solving the regular business issues. Proven ability to drive cost savings initiatives at local and global levels and to implement changes and improvements to existing business processes.
  • The art of dealing with people – empathy and great communication skills when collaborating in the team, with suppliers & stakeholders in the IKEA supply chain.
  • Analytical skills - working with numbers, negotiating prices, or setting priorities for your work, in a usually high-paced and demanding environment.
  • Fluency in English, both written and spoken. You are comfortable in presenting and engaging with stakeholders at all levels.
