Timber Buyer

SCA Forest Products Aktiebolag · Full-time

Hudiksvall, Sweden

Company Description: SCA Skog AB Job Description: As a Timber Buyer, you are responsible for contact and business relationships with individual forest owners, to whom you offer advice and services that develop their forest ownership. You are the forest owner's primary contact person within your geographic timber buyer area and are responsible for the entire business process – from first contact to completed transaction. An important part of your duties is to actively reach out to forest owners to identify their current and future needs for managing their forests. You meet forest owners both in the forest and at the office, and some of the consultation and business discussions take place digitally. The Timber Buyer role is perfect for you if you are motivated by combining relationships, business acumen, and a structured approach to work. Through your commitment and drive, you structure and plan your work to achieve your set goals. The Market function has over one hundred employees, and your immediate team consists of 7 timber buyers and a present, supportive manager. Here you get the chance to work independently while being part of an engaged and goal-oriented team.

To be the right person for this position, you need forestry expertise and a strong commitment to forest-related issues. Perhaps you have a forestry education, own your own forest property, or currently work as a Timber Buyer or in another profession related to the forestry industry.

You enjoy maintaining and strengthening relationships while working independently toward set goals. Challenges motivate you, and you have the resilience to not give up at the first setback.

With us, you have great opportunities to grow and develop. We encourage skills development, taking responsibility, and realizing your ideas.

Our forests and the products we bring to market provide climate benefits greater than emissions from all of Sweden's personal cars in one year.
