We are constantly pushing our own skills and abilities to drive change in the automobile industry like never before. We are looking for innovative, committed people to join us in this endeavour and create safe, sustainable and connected cars. We believe in the power of people and will challenge and support you to reach your full potential. Join us and be part of Volvo Cars' journey into the future.
Change Maker within the Electrical Procurement team - EDS Senior Category Buyer
At Procurement, you are part of a global team with the mission to develop and maintain a world-class supplier base. Ensuring the supply of materials and services - at the right cost, quality and technology is essential for the success of Volvo Car Group. Ultimately, it's all about cooperating with people inside and outside the company to create a superior experience for the people who buy and drive a Volvo.
Our team
At Software and Electronics, we are now looking for a new member in our Procurement Electric Distribution System [EDS] Team, a developing and challenging area where you, together with a team located globally (Gothenburg, Charleston, Shanghai, and Prague), and other stakeholders such as R&D, Strategy & Business Owners, Manufacturing & Logistics, can shape the future and contribute to a personal, greener, and safer mobility.
Like many areas in the automotive industry, there is a lot happening there! We are not producing our cable harness the way we used to. We have many new opportunities with automation, reorganizing our supplier footprint trying to build a resilient supply chain but also establishing our future strategy!
What will you do?
This role is critical for Volvo Cars and is highly connected to our transformational themes such as creating a sustainable and competitive value chain.
• You will be leading the Low voltage team (6 people, 3 of them locally and the rest in our China and US offices) and be responsible for defining and implementing the commodity business plan.
• Build/update strategies for the commodity by being involved in discussions with our main stakeholders (R&D, ME [Manufacturing Engineering], Logistics)
• Drive the development of the commodity to support Volvo car strategic objectives
• Lead strategic sourcing projects to completion in collaboration with cross-functional teams
• Manage and develop the supplier base
• Support buyers in the segment in both internal and external stakeholder management
• Actively contribute to the team development, by bringing improvement ideas, supporting your peers, coaching buyers when relevant, sharing best practices.
This role requires traveling on a regular basis (mainly within Europe but sometimes overseas as well).
Do you fit the profile?
You
• are a strong team player who is honest and actively works with self-development.
• are a person which is a true collaborator, courageous, and who can manage complexity
• dare to challenge the status quo, suppliers, and our stakeholders.
• like to do business, you demonstrate great communication skills and you love to work cross-functionally and multi-culturally
• have a can-do approach with a positive and open mindset, and a high level of energy, and you are ready to tackle challenges with passion and purpose.
• enjoy managing many parallel activities, you are structured, and analytical and you have a target-oriented approach.
• are excellent in building relations both internally and externally.
• have a business or engineering degree, with at least 7 years' experience in purchasing, preferably in automotive.
To succeed in this role, you have a Business or Technical University degree (or equivalent).
You are proficient in English, both spoken and written.
The automotive industry and Electrification are changing rapidly, and the competitive environment and our company's strategy might change fast. Therefore, we are not only valuing your previous experience and competencies but also your personality and your passion to develop and embrace unknown future challenges.
Most of all, you are willing to learn, try new things and have fun!
