Are you an inspirational and inviting leader with an eye for strategic development? Then your next career step is right here!

For Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions and division Crushing Solutions we’re now looking for a Vice President to lead our Global Operations organization. Someone with a genuine passion for people and supply chain who is ready to continue building our global supply capabilities. We’re eager to meet you!

About your job

In this important position, you have the overall responsibility for our Global Operations organization. This includes Global Planning and Forecasting, Logistics, Regional Planning and Order Handling, Global Quality, Operations Development and our three manufacturing sites, all reporting directly to you. Your daily job includes a mix of delivering on short-term targets and leading the way for our long-term strategic development. You establish a proactive organization where customer value, health, safety and sustainability are vital parts of our operations and culture – always!  

Driving value through reliable, transparent, agile and efficient operations is an important part of your agenda. We expect you to further strengthen customer focus, knowledge, skills and collaboration within our organization, and you lead and drive strategic questions cross-functionally. The Operations team is supporting our business growth by balancing service, cost and inventory. With the ability and mandate to influence, you’re a driving force for change, and you make sure to understand every aspect of our business – from the pulse of the production all the way to our top management!

You actively work to bring people, processes and technology together; aiming to improve our organization and drive development and progress in important areas such as production, digitalization and sustainability. People involvement is a cornerstone in everything we do, and with commitment in everything you do, you naturally create strong engagement among our employees!

This position is based at our headquarters in Svedala – a fast and easy commute from surrounding cities such as Malmö, Lund and Ystad, and with our site located just across from the train station. We offer the possibility to work part-time remotely, and international travelling is a natural part of your job. 

About you

We’re looking for an experienced leader, with a focus on both people and results – someone with a systematic working style, who easily balances tactical and strategic topics with a holistic view. Your previous career consists of roles where you have held leading global positions within operations, supply chain or production. We believe that our ideal candidate has a strong manufacturing and supply chain background in a global environment, as well as a successful track record from global leadership positions where your people management skills have made a true difference. You’re skilled in working with organizational development and change management in a global arena, and your experience includes the relevant knowledge to identify and drive business success factors. A relevant technical or business degree is beneficial, and you must be fluent in English, while knowledge of Swedish is a definite advantage.

We recognize and value your passion and personality, combined with the ability to lead change and engage stakeholders. You have strong leadership abilities and believe that teams and networks are key to produce results and success. You act with integrity and are genuinely engaged in leading and inspiring people in a matrix environment, showing leadership based on coaching and communication. You steadily build trust and commitment in the organization and understand the value of diversity and inclusion to build high performing teams. Through not hesitating when making decisions, even in times of uncertainty, and with a business minded attitude, you set ambitious targets, deliver on promises and follow through.
