"I have worked in indirect procurement since 2010, and at Arjo since October 2021. I saw the role of Arjo as a good next step in my career as it is a varied role. Arjo is a good company with nice and competent colleagues. The company is in an exciting market that is growing, and with that comes a lot of projects in indirect procurement that are challenging and fun to work with.

The days often consist of a mix of activities such as working on procurement projects, negotiating agreements, putting strategies and plans into categories and making products and services available. We work in different projects and collaborate in the team during the day when we need to sync parts that are about agreements and process. We have a competent and fun team and I have been well received and learned a lot."
