• Negotiate and manage contracts and price agreements.
• Prepare and monitor performance requirements and quality targets.
• Analyze effects, progression and finances across suppliers.
• Prepare management information and decision papers.
• Ensure systematic follow-up on supplier results and contract fulfillment.
• Build strong and professional partnerships with selected suppliers.
• Support caseworkers and management with knowledge of the market and the municipality's agreements.

We are looking for a colleague who

• Has experience with contract management, procurement, analysis or development tasks in a public organization.
• Has strong analytical skills and the ability to translate data into concrete recommendations.
• Works in a structured way and can keep track of both details and strategic goals.
• Is strong in relationships and can create constructive collaboration with both internal and external actors.
• Has good teamwork skills and is happy to join a team that solves many different tasks.
• Communicates clearly and precisely both orally and in writing.
• Willing to have knowledge of the employment area and municipal workflows.
• Both results-oriented and able to adapt to ongoing changes.

We offer

• A new and important key function with great opportunity to set direction and deliver results.
• A workplace with high ambitions on behalf of citizens.
• Opportunity to work across the organization and close to leadership decisions.
• Talented and engaged colleagues who value collaboration and professional sparring.
• A daily life with great variation, many collaboration interfaces and the opportunity to build a strong network across the municipality.
• A collegial community where we help each other, share knowledge and enjoy being together, even when the pace is high.
