Arbetsbeskrivning

This is a great opportunity to join a global company and be part of important work that supports science and research. We’re looking for a Buyer to join our onsite team in Gothenburg. This is a full-time, temporary role until Autumn 2026—perfect for someone who enjoys a hands-on, active job and wants to grow their experience in purchasing.

What We Are Looking For

• Strong computer skills and the ability to quickly learn and navigate procurement systems.
• Excellent attention to detail, organizational skills, and a service-minded approach.
• The ability to work proactively, solve problems independently, and stay calm under pressure.
• A high school diploma or equivalent is required; additional studies in business, logistics, or a related field are a plus.

In this full-time role, you’ll be responsible for:

• Managing end-to-end purchasing activities—from placing and tracking orders to handling deliveries, returns, and invoicing.
• Acting as a reliable point of contact for lab teams and internal stakeholders on all procurement matters.
• Building strong relationships with suppliers to ensure the best possible service, pricing, and delivery times.
• Using tools like Coupa and SharePoint daily to manage procurement workflows and maintain accurate records.
• Identifying opportunities for smarter purchasing and supporting continuous improvement efforts.
• Ensuring compliance with documentation standards, internal policies, and regulatory requirements.
• Contributing to reporting, forecasting, and budget planning

How You Will Thrive and Make an Impact

In this essential operational role, you’ll directly contribute to scientific progress by making sure researchers have timely access to the tools and materials they need. Here’s how you’ll make a difference:

• Stay Close to the Action – Be part of the daily rhythm of a high-impact scientific environment.
• Own the Process – Take the lead on purchase orders and procurement activities that keep everything running.
• Grow with Us – Develop your skills in purchasing, supplier management, and systems as part of a supportive, forward-thinking team.
