Strategic and operational procurement manager at Martinsson Elektronik AB Are you a business-minded procurement professional who wants to understand both the technology and the business behind every purchase? Do you thrive in a broad role where you can combine supplier development and negotiation with problem-solving in daily material flow? Then the role as strategic and operational procurement manager at Martinsson Elektronik AB could be your next step. Martinsson is a smaller company that works with large customers and complex business deals. Here, the procurement function is a central part of the operation, and you collaborate closely with sales, engineering, suppliers, and customers. Martinsson is now looking for you to take broad responsibility for the procurement area and combine a strategic perspective with an operational and business-focused approach. About Martinsson Elektronik AB Martinsson Elektronik AB works with electronics and component solutions and is part of the European group Steliau. Despite being part of a larger group, the local operation is characterized by the advantages of a smaller company: short decision-making paths, close collaboration, and good opportunities to make an impact. Here you don't work in isolation on a single part of the procurement process. You follow the business from start to finish and collaborate with multiple parts of the organization to ensure the right material, the right supplier, and competitive commercial terms. About the Role As a strategic and operational procurement manager, you will have a broad and business-focused role with responsibility for both existing and new suppliers. You work with negotiation, supplier development, and cost savings while being involved in the operational procurement and order flow. An important part of the role is understanding the bigger picture of the business. You work closely with the sales organization and contribute procurement expertise to customer and project deals. This means you need to be able to understand customer needs and the commercial conditions of projects. The electronics industry is characterized by rapid changes, varying supply, and components that can become obsolete with short notice. You therefore need to be able to act in a solution-oriented manner during supply shortages, identify alternative components, and evaluate different solutions based on price, quality, delivery capability, and technical requirements. The role also includes forecasting, purchase orders, order confirmations, replanning, and ongoing updates to information in the business system. This gives you the opportunity to combine long-term supplier work with close responsibility for daily supply flow. Key Responsibilities: Work with strategic and operational procurement of electronics and components. Develop and follow up on collaboration with existing suppliers, and identify and establish new supplier relationships. Negotiate prices, terms, and agreements with suppliers and manufacturers. Drive cost-saving initiatives and identify opportunities to develop the procurement business. Contribute procurement expertise to customer and project deals together with the sales organization. Collaborate with engineers and understand requirements for products, materials, and components. Handle changes, obsolete components, and supply shortages, and identify and evaluate alternative solutions. Work with forecasts, purchase orders, order confirmations, and replanning. Monitor supplier performance in price, quality, and delivery reliability. Ensure the business system contains correct and up-to-date information. Manage cases in the ERP system. What We're Looking For We're looking for someone with procurement experience who feels confident in commercial conversations with suppliers. Above all, you have the ability to understand the business behind the purchase and can balance price, quality, delivery capability, technical requirements, and customer needs. Since the role involves close collaboration with sales, you need to be interested in how procurement can contribute to competitiveness, customer value, and profitability. At the same time, this is not a purely strategic role. You enjoy working close to the operational flow and can switch between long-term supplier negotiations and issues that need to be solved here and now. We would like you to have experience from electronics or another technical field. You don't need to know all components from the start, but technical understanding, curiosity, and a willingness to learn are important prerequisites for success in the role. We're looking for someone with: Experience in procurement, supply chain, logistics, or a related area. Experience with supplier contacts, negotiations, and commercial conversations. Strong business understanding and the ability to see the connection between procurement, sales, and profitability. Technical understanding, preferably from electronics, components, or related industry. Ability to understand product structures and material lists (BOM). Good system skills and experience working in ERP or business systems. A structured work approach and understanding of the administrative side of the procurement process. Strong English language skills, both spoken and written. As a person, you are business-minded, solution-oriented, and curious. You take responsibility for your tasks, drive matters forward, and appreciate an environment where collaboration, flexibility, and initiative are a natural part of everyday work.
