We are proud to be on an exciting journey to implement the Volvo Group long-term ambitions to be 100% fossil free, 100% safe and 100% more productive. To get there, sustainability needs to be at the heart of everything we do. Sustainability both in terms of our products and services but also in perspective of people sustainability.

You will also have to manage and be part of several ecosystems, cross-departments, and cross-functions, aiming at maturing our business practices and bringing them to automotive standards.
Talking about being good at building relationships, it is essential to be able to build and maintain trustful and healthy supply partner relationships. With well-functioning interactions we believe that we easier support our business and develop sustainable long-term relationships with our supply chain partners. We believe that someone that loves to work as a leader in a multicultural context with a high pace and that enjoys cooperating with various functions will also love and excel at this job.
