We are looking for a skilled SAP Solution Architect with expertise in IBP, particularly in Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) and Execution (S&OE).

Becoming part of the SSAB family means joining a journey. A journey that we believe is essential for the sustainability of this planet.

As part of SSAB you will be instrumental in realizing this goal and push for the green transformation of the whole steel industry.
