Your mission
In this position, you lead and develop our Global Powder Production Operations based in Gimo, Sweden and Westminster, USA – all the way from raw material acquisition to delivery of RTP Powder to our Inserts Production units. To create world class production sites, you ensure alignment with strategies and operational plans and manage production objectives and financial goals. You also create the right prerequisites for efficient manufacturing as well as competent and motivated staff. A key aspect in your role is meeting relevant ISO standards and EHS requirements, and especially the ones regarding our cobalt exposure targets. Aiming towards a strong future, you work continuously to improve our organization and identify synergies between important areas such as production, digitalization and sustainability.
You’re an inspiring and coaching leader, a role model for your four team members and a valued participant of the Global Inserts management team. You report directly to the Global Director for Sandvik Coromant Inserts Production.

Your knowledge is backed by a degree in a relevant technical field, and you’re used to acting in a global and matrix business. This means that you also need to be fluent in English, while skills in Swedish are beneficial.
You have solid business acumen and are an influential and confident leader – attributes that help you set clear expectations, build a collaborative and inventive environment and lead your team towards a successful future. With a strategic approach and an entrepreneurial mindset, you identify improvements and manage a diverse range of activities across our organization.
