As a Senior Procurement Category Manager, you will be responsible for initiation, design, development, implementation, and follow-up strategies within assigned categories. You will proactively unlock category insights that lead to sustainable supply chains, reduced risk, and total cost.

  • A valid driver's license (equivalent to Swedish Class B).
  • Experience from the process and mining industry as well as IFS and Coupa knowledge is an advantage.
What we offer:

A stimulating and challenging job, working on cutting-edge issues. You will be part of a competent and committed team of specialists who together shape the future of the mining and minerals industry. In addition, you will also receive:

  • Reward program.
  • Free access to LKAB's own gym and our partners' facilities in Norrbotten.
  • Wellness allowance and educational support, along with access to an art association, leisure club, mountain cabins, and family activities.
