We are looking for a Supplier Relationship Manager to join our Legal & Compliance team - Creating a new Telenor growth company!

Telenor Linx combine telco and software competence, capabilities and assets, to maximize revenues on the existing portfolio while at the same time creating a platform for innovation and growth. We offer the telco services roaming, messaging and voice, as well as software services like direct carrier billing and our award winning digital sales platform Millom to Mobile operators all over the world. Managing the relationship with key vendors and suppliers is an essential platform for growth.

As a Supplier Relationship Manager you will be responsible for managing all interactions with key vendors that supply goods and services to Telenor Linx in order to maximize the value of those interactions. We also want you to take on the temporary responsibility for governance matters in the company. The position is a part of a cross functional team of experts including security, privacy, legal and compliance, placed within the Legal & Compliance department. We are a supportive team, and there will always be someone to discuss matters with ? large and small.

We are looking for someone who can rapidly absorb complex technical and commercial requirements, as well as possessing the softer skills of communication, listening, negotiating and change management ? all critical to developing strong and trusting working relations with suppliers. You will have the opportunity to work alongside multiple departments in Telenor Linx across multiple geographies and will be a key partner for the Technology Department.

What are the essential functions and areas of ownership?

You will follow up suppliers across a broad range of matters including procurement, contract (re)negotiations, performance review and cost control, as well as supplier compliance to Telenor?s supplier conduct standards, all the way building strong and sustainable relationships with these suppliers. In addition, you will in a temporary capacity take responsibility for governance matters in the company, ensuring we are in compliance with Telenor?s compliance governance programme including policy assessments, training and reporting. You enjoy working in a fast-paced environment and identify yourself as a team player. Despite being a support function, you are someone who is passionate about business in addition to own subject matter expertise.

We encourage you to apply if you can give a thumbs up on the following requirements:

• You have excellent technical understanding; telecoms knowledge is an advantage.
• You have solid experience from supplier/vendor management.
• You build great relationships both internally with colleagues, and externally with suppliers.
• You have a degree level education in economics, IT or Engineering, or other relevant degree. Relevant experience may compensate.

Working at Telenor is not only about further developing and creating important solutions, but as a Telenor employee we want you as a specialist to develop, learn and have a working day where you feel valued and safe. We can offer you this:

• A working environment where trust and culture are central values. You will be listened to and supported by a team of experts with a high level of professional pride within various professional environments. You always have people around you who are willing to lend a hand. At Telenor, people are the most important asset we have, so we work continuously and persistently to create a culture and an environment where you feel good.
   
• A flexible working day with full flexibility to work where you want. A well-equipped digital rig makes it possible to work at home or from the cabin whenever you want - but we also have great premises and thrive together, so it's really nice to meet at work too!
   
• The opportunity to learn a lot and create a career path in the direction you want. Telenor means development for you who have ambitions to grow and learn through taking responsibility and initiative.
   
• And then all the things that are hygiene factors: Good salary, very good arrangements for pension, insurance and parental leave, Christmas and Easter holidays in addition to normal holidays, company cabins throughout Norway, sports teams for everything from cricket, paddling, golf and yoga, fitness center at work - and a comfortable, state-of-the-art premises with social zones, a library with a sea view, superb canteens, coffee bars and your own jetty for morning baths if you like that sort of thing!
