Job Description

Want to be part of transforming road freight – for good? Einride is showing the world a new way to move, based on the latest digital, electric and autonomous technologies. Through freight capacity as a service, we enable businesses around the world to accelerate towards their sustainability goals.

Founded in 2016, Einride became the first company in the world to deploy a cab-less autonomous electric vehicle on a public road (Sweden, 2019). In 2022, we were the first to successfully operate such a vehicle on a US public road. Today our award-winning technology has been launched across 8 countries (and counting). Our clients are some of the world’s biggest shippers, including Fortune 500 companies. We are also operating Sweden’s largest truck dedicated public charging network and counting.

We are looking for a Procurement Manager who is going to be responsible for the Vehicle Platform & Propulsion. This role requires technical acumen, exceptional communication, analytical and negotiation skills. A successful candidate needs to thrive in a pressurized environment using data and facts to help identify risks, manage resources, and solve problems quickly and effectively. A dedicated team ethic with the ability to interact at all levels in the organization and across business boundaries is required to be successful in this role.

You will:

• Formulate procurement strategies, budgets, and policies while building a global commodity team to scale and ensure timely, cost-efficient program deliveries.
• Lead global supplier relationships, scorecards, and strategic sourcing projects, including contract negotiations based on solid legal principles.
• Develop market intelligence and procurement data management to monitor market conditions, forecast trends, and increase overall cost-efficiency transparency.
• Manage product definitions, attributes, and specification cascades to align engineering requirements with sourcing activities.
• Oversee program gateway delivery, generate performance metrics, and report on timing and cost status.

We expect you to have:

• A Bachelor's or Master's degree in a relevant field, such as Logistics, Procurement, or Supply Chain Management.
• Extensive experience in global strategic procurement, combined with a business-oriented, customer-focused, and holistic approach to decision-making.
• Passion for data analysis and visualization, paired with an open-minded and innovative approach that thrives in dynamic and uncertain environments.
• A proven track record of acting as a caring, people-focused leader within the organization.

This is a full-time position based in Gothenburg. We recommend that you submit your application as soon as possible since selection and interviews are held continually.
