Context

• Experience at procurement manager level, with the ability to communicate confidently with board-level stakeholders. The role itself is not at executive level.
• Vattenfall is a highly complex matrix organisation, so proven experience in complex organisations and with complex tenders is a must.
• A degree is not a must. Relevant experience is leading.
• General energy-sector experience is not a major advantage. In-depth procurement knowledge counts for way more.
Personality and working style
•
• Hands-on, pragmatic, with a can-do mentality.
• Solution-oriented: the manager prefers solutions over complaints.
• Diplomatic, with strong stakeholder management skills.
