We are on a mission to become the leading international force in residential property management. What we do matters to billions of people in their everyday lives.
Residential real estate is the world’s largest asset class, and for most families, buying a home is the single biggest financial decision they will ever make. For too long, residential property management has fallen short of homeowners' and residents' expectations, and the industry is ready for change. Odevo was formed to make that change happen.
In just six years, Odevo has grown more than 70-fold, establishing us as the leading international player. We are more than 12,000 people across the US, the UK, the Nordics, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Mexico, and Italy building Odevo. Together, we aspire to break new ground through innovation and cultivate a workplace where we help each other succeed, where ideas matter more than titles, and where kindness is a strength.
By combining the power of people and technology, we set a new standard for how homes are managed. Our technology-enabled services simplify living for residents and create a better experience for property owners and boards.
Our ambition is to continue our fast-growing journey through new customers, service expansion, and by partnering with great companies that share our mindset and ambition, both in existing and new markets.
As we continue to grow, we stay true to who we are, challenge unnecessary bureaucracy, and keep decision-making close to our customers.
If you share our mindset and ambition, we’d love you to join us and help accelerate our mission together.
The Swedish housing association (Bostadsrättsföreningar) market comprises just over 1.1 million apartments distributed across approximately 30,000 active housing associations. Each association effectively operates as an independent real estate company, with its own board, budget, and ongoing operating costs for electricity, broadband, maintenance, inspections, repairs, and renovation. Total annual spending in this segment is estimated at SEK 35–40 billion.
Nabo and SBC professionally manage around 30% of Sweden’s housing associations. This creates a unique position within the market, one defined by scale, deep insight into association needs, and significant commercial leverage across recurring services such as utilities, maintenance, and construction.
Despite these volumes, procurement in the majority of housing associations is characterized by a lack of structured processes. Board work is carried out on a voluntary basis, often without procurement expertise, which means that contracts are signed without systematic market analysis, terms are rarely renegotiated, and supplier performance follow-up is largely absent. As a result, Swedish housing associations year after year pay a premium for services they are structurally dependent on.
Odevo is uniquely positioned to address this challenge. With more than 8,000 managed housing associations in Sweden, SBC and Nabo together possess one of the strongest negotiation positions in the market. By combining this scale with data-driven analysis, strategic procurement expertise, and structured processes, we create the conditions to achieve terms and savings far beyond what an individual association can accomplish on its own. The Client Procurement Manager role is established to realize this potential.
The Client Procurement Manager is a commercial growth role within Odevo Sweden, responsible for building and driving the Swedish offering of value-added services for housing associations. The role combines strategic business development with hands-on execution and requires close collaboration with the management teams of SBC and Nabo.
The role operates in a matrix structure together with the marketing leadership teams of SBC and Nabo and has a clear mandate to drive growth, profitability, and scalability within client procurement. The position is expected to create growth, efficiency, and customer value across service areas such as electricity procurement, broadband, property maintenance, and construction and renovation services.
Growth, Profitability, and Business Performance
Drive growth and profitability within client procurement in a matrix organization together with the CEOs of SBC and Nabo, with a clear mandate to take initiative and create business value.

Strategy and Product Development

Prioritize and develop offerings within key areas, including:
Electricity procurement

Property maintenance (ventilation, pipe flushing, elevators)
Construction and renovation (roofs, electrical services, plumbing services)
Ensure the strategy is anchored with relevant internal stakeholders and aligned with Odevo Group’s overall objectives.
Operational Execution
Drive hands-on implementation of the strategy, including pilots, campaigns, and targeted sales initiatives.
Design and own efficient processes that ensure smooth delivery of services to customers.
Coordinate with internal teams and external partners to meet timelines and quality standards.
Plan and execute recurring procurements and campaigns, including initiatives requiring coordination with marketing and suppliers, budgeting, and peak-season activities.
Supplier Management
Own supplier relationships across all service areas, from initial procurement to ongoing management.
Negotiate contracts and commercial terms that ensure competitive offerings and healthy economics.
Monitor supplier performance and take corrective actions when deviations occur.
Continuously analyze and optimize terms with existing suppliers to maintain competitiveness and improve margins over time.
Go-to-Market and Cross-Selling
Work closely with the VP Financial Services to ensure the client procurement go-to-market strategy is aligned with the broader Financial Services offering (e.g. loans and insurance).
Identify and activate cross-selling opportunities between financial products and client procurement services for the housing association customer base.
Required Experience
Experience in strategic procurement, product development, and distribution, preferably within services or real estate.
Proven ability to build and drive a business with clear impact on growth, profitability, and customer value.
Strong experience in supplier negotiations and contract management.
Very high analytical capability, with experience using data to drive decisions and track performance.
Experience with operational execution in a fast-changing environment.
Background in management consulting is a merit.
Nice to have
Fluent Swedish, spoken and written. Good command of English.
Knowledge of the Swedish housing association (BRF) market and its dynamics is a merit but not a requirement.
You are commercially driven and thrive in a fast‑paced, dynamic environment. You combine strong analytical skills with the ability to turn insights into action and bring structure and efficiency to complex processes. Collaborative and hands‑on, you take clear ownership of results and demonstrate strong personal leadership. With an entrepreneurial mindset, you actively seek new opportunities and are willing to test new approaches to create lasting value for housing associations and their residents.

We are on a mission to become the leading force in residential property management services. The global residential property management industry is currently undergoing a digital transformation and Odevo is at the forefront of this transformation. Our mission is to radically simplify living for families and individuals by delivering highly attractive and efficient property management services to property owners and associations as well as to residents. Our core belief is that digital technology combined with great people will play a central role in delivering a step change how association boards and residents experience property management.
What we do matters to ordinary people. Residential real estate is the world’s largest asset class and buying a home is often the biggest investment a person or family will ever make. But the residential property management industry is lagging behind when it comes to customer experience and digitalization. That’s why we formed Odevo.
Leading property management companies in Europe and US have already joined forces to form Odevo. Over the last 5 years Odevo has grown to become a leading international player with over 10,100 employees and 2.2 million homes under management. Our ambition is to continue to grow rapidly organically and by attracting additional companies to join us in both existing and new markets.
We are a 10,000-employee company with a start-up mentality. We aspire to break new ground through innovation, and we actively cultivate a workplace where we can grow as individuals and have fun while achieving great things together.
As we expand into the rest of the world, we hope to be an inspiration to others in the industry.
