Strategic Sourcing Project Manager at Nordic… · Stockholm

Nordic Investin is recruiting a Strategic Sourcing Project Manager on behalf of one of our partner companies. You create pace through clarity when workstreams, decisions and dependencies must move as one, and you surface risk early.

The partner is strengthening its capability in strategic sourcing programmes from category insight to supplier transition. You will take responsibility for work that connects category analysis, tendering and negotiation, while ensuring that due diligence and implementation receive appropriate discipline. The objective is progress that colleagues can use and leaders can evaluate.

Project leadership connects outcomes, plans, risks and decisions. Success is controlled change that the organisation can adopt and sustain.

How you will work

You will create a practical delivery rhythm across workstreams with different owners and incentives. The partner expects concise preparation, explicit dependencies and decisions recorded clearly enough to survive handovers. Escalation should bring options and consequences, not only a problem statement.

This role calls for independent judgement and the ability to raise the quality around you. You will be expected to recognise when a decision needs wider expertise, make trade-offs visible and move work forward without creating unnecessary process.

What you will do

• Own the practical direction for strategic sourcing programmes from category insight to supplier transition.

• Translate goals and constraints into a clear approach for category analysis and tendering.

• Establish useful standards, routines or artefacts around negotiation.

• Coordinate stakeholders and dependencies affecting due diligence.

• Use evidence and measurable outcomes to improve implementation.

• Strengthen knowledge sharing, decision quality and sustainable ownership across the team.

What you will bring

• Relevant experience delivering strategic sourcing programmes from category insight to supplier transition in a demanding environment.

• Strong working knowledge of category analysis and tendering.

• Practical experience applying negotiation and due diligence.

• Ability to assess risk, priorities and trade-offs involving implementation.

• Evidence of clear stakeholder communication and dependable end-to-end ownership.

• Professional English and the judgement to work with sensitive or business-critical information.

Experience that would add value

• Experience from industry, professional services or public procurement.

• Exposure to benefits tracking in a cross-functional environment.

• Swedish language skills or experience working across Nordic organisations.

A background that can succeed here

Direct experience of strategic sourcing programmes from category insight to supplier transition is valuable, while adjacent experience counts when it shows transferable judgement.

What makes the opportunity interesting
