About the Assignment:

The newly introduced EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) imposes stricter requirements on supply chain traceability—particularly within the paper and wood fiber sectors.

• Actively contribute to the EUDR project by providing EDI expertise.
• Serve as a key contact for troubleshooting and resolving EDI-related issues and deviations.
• Lead EDI-specific initiatives within the project.
• Collaborate with internal teams and external partners to implement and optimize EDI processes.
• Maintain clear and consistent communication with business stakeholders, IT teams, and end users.
• Keep current with advancements in EDI, IT services, and relevant technologies.

Your Profile:

To thrive in this role, you should possess:

• A university degree in IT or equivalent practical experience.
• Proven experience working at the intersection of IT and business operations.
• Deep knowledge of EDI systems and an understanding of business system integrations.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills in both Swedish and English.

The position can be based at any of our clients production facilities—Kalix, Frövi, Gruvön, Skärblacka, or Rockhammar—or at the head office in Solna. A high degree of remote work is possible.
