Head of Product and Procurement
Born out of the belief that solar is one of the most powerful solutions to fixing energy and climate issues, it has been our goal to make renewable energy an easy and profitable investment. We contribute to our goal by installing solar panels as well as optimizing the energy consumption for our customers. To date, we have avoided over 3,84 million tonnes of CO2 emissions (which is equivalent to 15,9 billion km driven by a gasoline-powered car 😉).
The role
Join the COO's (Jonas Wedin) management team as a key leader driving procurement and product portfolio management strategies. To simplify, you'll ensure that Svea Solar has the best-performing solar panels, EV chargers, and batteries, the most reliable attachments and durable cables in its portfolio, as well as set strategies on how secure these products are and under what conditions in our supply chain.
The role has several direct reports. Today, the team includes Category Managers (both direct and indirect categories), Product Managers and a Procurement Analyst.
Here's a guiding bullet-point list with a scope of the responsibilities fo the role:
- Streamline strategies for supplier base management, negotiation, sourcing, governance for contract management and other procurement efforts and processes.
- Review and optimize strategies for creating a winning product portfolio for Svea Solar on a group level.
- Leverage analytical and data-driven approach to improving procurement processes, e.g., external spend, supplier management and product lifecycle.
- Foster collaboration between internal teams to drive procurement operational excellence.
- Lead or contribute to development projects within the Operations department.
Are we a match?
It's essential that you can stand by our values. Our environment offers opportunities to create impact and steer how the function will continue developing. We are a great match if you prefer working in and know how to organize project-based workflows. You are a person who thrives in creating and streamlining structures rather than demanding them.

- Solid experience leading a strategic product procurement function.

- Analytical, data-driven, management consultant-like approach to procurement function.
- Positive and forward-thinking mindset with a focus on continuous improvement.
- Familiarity with Microsoft Business Central is a plus.
