Procurement Specialist
Passionate about Reinventing Forestry!
At AirForestry, we’re doing something pretty amazing - taking forestry above the treetops! With our lightweight, high-capacity electric drones, we’re transforming how forests are managed. As we grow, we’re now taking the next step: building a professional procurement function. If you’re a self-driven and business-minded person with a passion for building procurement and supply chain processes - this is a great role for you!
The role:
We’re looking for our very first procurement hire - someone who can take the wheel and build the function from scratch. This is a role that blends hands-on work with strategic thinking, so you’ll get to dive into everything from receiving deliveries to creating processes that take us from purchase order to fully assembled systems.
You’ll be a key player in helping us level up, and your work will shape how we collaborate with suppliers and make procurement a real driver for our growth. You’ll have an eye for the long-term, while knowing what needs to happen right now, and can make smart decisions that balance both.
What you’ll do:
- Build our procurement function from the ground up - both operationally and strategically.
- Work closely with tech leads and finance to align requirements and shape the function together.
- Run day-to-day procurement operations smoothly.
- Set up templates, routines, and processes that follow best practices.
- Make smart prioritization decisions: what’s good enough now vs what’s a long term strategic move.
- Manage supplier relationships, including negotiating contracts with existing and potential new partners.
What we’re looking for:
- Extensive experience from a similar role in a hardware-focused growth company.
- Experience either owning a procurement function or being a key contributor to building one.
- Comfortable working independently, taking initiative, and driving processes, while also collaborating across teams.
- Pragmatic, solution-oriented, and excited by the challenge of building something new.
As a hands-on, problem solving and outdoorsy person - you’ll fit right in with the rest of us! You will be a part of a fast-paced and fun environment, working with cutting edge technology and become an important part of a tight-nit and humble team. Good words to describe us are quality oriented, problem solving, fact-based, kind and open - and we ask lots of questions. We are office first and Uppsala-based.

About AirForestry
We build cutting edge forestry technology that helps solve the climate and biodiversity crises. Our mission is to contribute to a substantial positive change by creating better forests for everyone.
Forestry is a long-term project. What is harvested today was tended by previous generations, and what is planted today will be harvested by our grandchildren.
AirForestry provides solutions for thinning forests with the help of
electric drones that can harvest trees from the air. AirForestry reduces
the need for access roads, eliminates the consumption of diesel, and
provides a better working environment for those who work in the forest.
We have paying customers and great partnerships. See our main website for more information.
