  8. Contribute to development and implementation of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) and Carbon Reduction Supply Chain initiatives.

Your qualifications and experience:

  1. Minimum of 5 years of experience in a similar role, with at least 3–5 years in IT procurement, particularly in software acquisitions.
  2. Strong commercial and analytical skills.
  3. A self-starter who thrives in an independent role and takes initiative.
  4. Proactive and responsible, with the ability to drive projects forward and keep stakeholders informed.
  5. Strong prioritization skills, comfortable managing multiple tasks and deadlines simultaneously.

What we offer:

  1. A unique opportunity to influence and shape a newly created Nordic role.
  2. Support from a highly skilled and competent team.
  3. A diverse range of challenges in a solid and growing company.
  4. A fun, inclusive, and professional work environment.
