  • Can communicate complex ideas in a simple way to different types of audiences.
  • Enjoy leading and collaborating with people from different backgrounds and visions, towards the same goal, in a complex environment.
  • Have sound commercial knowledge, with excellent negotiation skills.
  • Independently lead complex and strategic sourcing activities, acting as a senior project manager or program manager, to ensure alignment with Nordea Sourcing Policy and Nordea Sourcing Toolkits.
  • Independently manage and resolve issues with Nordea's stakeholders and suppliers on an ongoing basis, effectively handling potential conflicts as they arise.

Your background and skills include:

  • University Degree in Supply Chain, Business Management, or Engineering.

  • Ideally, you understand the Technology supplier landscape in the Nordics.
  • Solid understanding of third-party risk management.
  • Experience in Banking or other highly regulated industries is a benefit.

As the Leader you are expected to have a crucial role in:

  • Creating purpose by translating strategy into operational and actionable plans to showcase how we create value for our customers and impact business priorities.
  • Empowering people by identifying individual development opportunities to support growth and encouraging them to share their ideas, concerns, and learnings.
  • Driving performance by recognizing individual contributions and collective victories to maintain a healthy balance through measurable goals and clear priorities for each team member.
  • Developing teams by nurturing a dynamic team culture that emphasizes trust and respect to ensure that everyone understands their unique value and contribution.
  • Fostering inclusion by creating equal opportunity through curiosity about all aspects of diversity in your team to evaluate habits and perspectives on a continuous basis.

What we offer

People come here when they want to get somewhere. For some, it’s to take their career to the next level. For others, it’s to break new ground within their area of expertise – in other words, with us, you will always move forward.
