hela Sverige At Corporate Communications, you are part of a global communication team that's charged with developing the awareness and positivity of the Volvo brand and its products by building trusting relationships with journalists, online influencers and policy makers as well as internal communication with all Volvo employees globally.

Do you want to reach your personal goals together with other people? Corporate Communications is the place for you to prosper.
Media Relations Officer
The media relations team is a hardworking and dynamic division of the Corporate Communications department. It is responsible for designing and implementing media strategies globally that encompass the company's operations, finances, business strategy and senior management.
