Would you like to work with market-leading suppliers in a complex sourcing area, where the components have a significant impact on the final product? The Raw Material & Steel Parts team is now looking for a consultant to cover a buyer position from March through mid-December. The team is part of the Platform organization and is responsible for procurement-related activities across the area. In this role, you will lead and support cross-functional sourcing projects and market tests, including preparation, execution, analysis, negotiations, supplier selection, sustainability focus and contract management — with emphasis on cold and hot stamped parts. You will also be responsible for market analysis, prioritization and identifying knowledge-based negotiation strategies, as well as managing purchasing activities connected to current production.
