About the Role
With us, you'll work within a global corporation where we invest in sustainable and long-term solutions so that our industry contributes to a better world. We have the strength of our global reach through Sonepar, but also in team spirit and a family-like atmosphere within Sonepar Sverige. With us, you can develop in your role, with your colleagues, and with our company. As a Lighting Category Manager, you'll have a key role in creating business-driven results through strong personal commitment and clear impact in everything you do.
Responsibilities
You're responsible for developing and implementing strategies that drive profitable growth together with our key partners. With a strong business focus, you ensure that we have competitive agreements and attractive offerings – and you implement these in practice through close collaboration with our sales organization, where your personal drive becomes decisive in creating impact in the market and increasing our market share.
In the role, you combine strategic thinking with operational strength. You actively work with analysis and monitoring of sales data to identify opportunities, challenge existing approaches, and drive continuous improvement.
You thrive in a dynamic environment where changes in pace are a natural part of everyday work, and where you yourself take responsibility for creating momentum. Through your commitment, you build long-term relationships characterized by trust, business value, and mutual development – both for our partners and for the company.
We see that you're a team player who contributes energy, initiative, and new ideas. You have the ability to see opportunities where others see obstacles and you act on them – with clarity, courage, and a strong results focus.
You'll be part of a fantastic team with several category managers, all based out of Rotebro, and there will also be some business travel involved.
Your Profile
We believe that, like us, you may have a varied background, but we see that you have:
Experience from a similar role as a commercial product manager or similar
Experience working with Microsoft Office programs
Electrical technology background or experience within lighting is a plus
Valid B-class driver's license is required
As a person, you demonstrate strong personal commitment, confident in your expertise, and you dare to drive through your thoughts and ideas while building trust with our partners and your colleagues. You're equally comfortable with analysis as with business matters and feel a drive knowing that each day can look different. You're driven by results, dare to challenge, and are a team player who spreads positive energy.
Most importantly, it's you as a person and your drive! The right person who can complement both this important business area and team is of utmost importance.
