Are you fascinated by innovation and new technology?
Do you want to help create sustainable transport solutions at the convergence of vehicle connectivity, automation and electrification?

Volvo Group is on an inspiring fast-paced journey, with major technological advancements within vehicle automation, electromobility, and connectivity. At the same time, technology areas such as combustion engines and mechanics must also continue to develop to meet the challenges ahead.

To be able to ensure continuous high investments in R&D the Volvo Group's profitability and turnover need to be secured. This results in higher Intellectual Property intensity on the market, convergence between industries and many new challenges ahead.

We are searching for an IP Portfolio Partner to join the Strategy & Portfolio team, working principally with the Construction Equipment portfolio.
