Job Description

Axis is a fast-growing and exciting company, already the world leader in our main field - network video. At Axis you work in an innovative and global organization that takes great pride in delivering world-class, high-quality products, services, and solutions to our customers. We are passionate about creating a smarter and safer world! Our success is largely due to our highly skilled staff and our strong culture of daring to succeed, allowing ourselves to constantly break new ground.

We are now looking for a Purchaser to join our team at our HQ in Lund, Sweden. Join our team and together we will continue to deliver great products around the world.

Who is your future team

You'll join a small, collaborative team of 10 within Material Supply. Together, we take ownership, move fast, and turn plans into results.

Our job is to supply Axis customer demand - ensuring product availability at our 8 sites around the world with the right product at the right place, time and quantity! You'll work closely with colleagues across the wider Axis organization — including Sourcing, Demand Planning, the Order Team, Sales, and Product Management — as well as externally with our suppliers.

What you’ll do here

Your main responsibility is to balance inventory and ensure product availability for one or several product categories, your portfolio and/or suppliers. To achieve this, you are responsible for the procurement and inventory management of your product portfolio. You will collaborate and manage your procurement and planning with different suppliers and supply 8 inventory sites.

Typical duties include:

• Analyze existing and expected demand and supply plan and take actions to maintain balance
• Identify and mitigate supply deviations and/or gaps
• Participate in projects related to your product portfolio such as launching new products or delivering large enterprise customer projects
• Plan, release and manage purchasing orders
• Synch and prioritize production and delivery plans with your suppliers to ensure they meet your supply requirements
• Track and drive supply related supplier performance
• Set and drive an inventory management strategy to ensure and balance availability
• Analyze and monitor your inventory management strategy and related KPIs

But the job is so much more than the actual buying and supply planning. A great part of your responsibility is also working with continuous improvements. Initiating and driving activities to improve our processes and collaborations internally and externally. Both short- and long-term.

Who are we looking for

We believe that you are an analytical person with a strong personal drive and a forward-leaning mindset. You are a team player but also thrive by working independently, planning and managing your own activities. You are stimulated by challenges, not afraid to act and are passionate about problem solving - independently and by collaborating efficiently in a team.

Working in a dynamic, innovative and high-paced environment is your thing and you thrive in a role where you truly can make an impact. We believe you are well-structured, adaptive, and naturally see both details and the big picture - making the right priorities and efficiently act both short and long term.

We'd love to see:

• Relevant post-secondary education in Supply Chain Management, Logistics, Business Administration, Engineering, or a related field.
• At least 5 years of experience in purchasing, logistics, or supply chain management.
• Experience working with ERP systems.
• A strong interest in data analysis and data-driven decision-making.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English. Swedish is considered an advantage.
• Bonus points for:
• Experience with statistical analysis
• Experience working in the tech industry
• Extended Excel skills
