Short company description

Join us at our Bucharest office and be a part of our global team!

Sievo’s story began in Helsinki, Finland in 2003, and today we have two more offices in Bucharest and Chicago.

We're proud to say that we maintain our Nordic work culture across all three locations, which means we value low hierarchy, flexibility, and a healthy work-life balance.

Not familiar with what Sievo does? Here is a quick introduction: We are a global SaaS company that helps our clients turn their procurement data into actionable insights. Our product, solution, and content are trusted by global giants such as Levi’s, Kellogg’s, Mars, Carlsberg, and over 150 other clients. Sievo not only helps them choose the right suppliers and deliver savings, but also manages compliance with confidence and enables a sustainable, diverse, and resilient supply base.
