You’ll be part of our Sustainable Sourcing team, reporting directly to our Sustainable Sourcing Director. The team's mission is to incorporate a sustainable perspective wider into sourcing operations, allowing Husqvarna to play a more substantial role in sustainability.

Key Responsibilities Include:

  • Support sourcing teams in applying sustainability principles in sourcing decisions and daily operations — ensuring alignment with regulatory requirements and the company’s sustainability goals, while promoting a more responsible and future-fit supply base.

  • Develop, drive and support in initiatives related to CO₂ emissions reduction, materials and circularity — key focus areas for the team.

  • Track and follow up on sustainability-related KPIs, ensuring accurate and timely data input and documentation.

  • Contribute to risk assessments, due diligence processes and the development of sustainable sourcing routines.

  • Participate in group-level ESG projects by supporting data collection, analysis, and follow-up activities.

You’re confident engaging with a wide range of stakeholders — from sourcing colleagues to external suppliers — and you take initiative to lead and support projects that push our sustainability agenda forward. With a continuous improvement mindset, you’re eager to help strengthen the environmental focus of our sustainable sourcing efforts and contribute to long-term impact.

In addition, you have:

  • A university degree in Sustainability, Engineering, Business, or a related field.

  • Proven experience working in a role with a strong focus on environmental sustainability — ideally within sourcing, supply chain, or ESG-related functions — including efforts to reduce CO₂ emissions.

  • Familiarity with sustainability assessments and ESG compliance.

  • Strong analytical skills and attention to details and a proactive mindset.

  • Demonstrated ability to manage projects and collaborate effectively across functions and geographies.
