Your role and responsibilities
Are you an experienced procurement leader ready to influence the direction of a company undergoing one of the most transformative journeys in the robotics industry? At ABB Robotics, we are entering an exciting new chapter-building a more agile, customer-centric, and innovative organization as we transition into a standalone company. In a business where robotics is shaping the future of automation, sustainability, and advanced manufacturing globally, this is a unique moment to step into a strategic role where your expertise will have real impact and visibility at both local and global level.
We are now looking for a Senior Procurement Leader / Category Manager to take full ownership of selected indirect material and services categories and drive long-term strategic development.

This position offers significant influence, wide stakeholder exposure, and the opportunity to lead category transformation during a pivotal phase of growth and organizational change. You will report to the Region Manager, Indirect Material & Service Procurement, ABB Robotics.
Your responsibilities:
Develop and execute sourcing strategies that deliver value and cost efficiency.
Manage and develop a broad supplier base with focus on quality, delivery, innovation, and sustainability.
Lead negotiations and secure competitive agreements.
Drive process improvements and digitalization to ensure transparency and ease of buying.
Collaborate closely with stakeholders to understand needs and translate them into sourcing solutions.
Your background
Bachelor's degree in engineering or economics and minimum 8 years of experience from procurement.
Experience in indirect procurement, ideally within real estate, facility management, or production-related services.
Strong skills in strategic sourcing, negotiation, and contracting.
Analytical, structured, and target-driven with strong problem-solving skills.
Curious, quick to learn, and skilled at building strong relationships.
Excellent communication skills in Swedish and English.
What's in it for you?
We empower you to take initiative, challenge ideas, and lead with confidence. You'll grow through meaningful work, continuous learning, and support that's tailored to your goals. Every idea you share and every action you take contributes to something bigger.
