Volvo Cars is on an ambitious journey to re-define the customer experience in automotive through digital technology. While Volvo is pushing the boundaries on several fronts - autonomous driving, vehicle electrification, cutting-edge vehicle engineering design, and more - some of the most exciting action is happening in our Consumer and Enterprise Digital Group. Having recently hired our first Chief Digital Officer from Silicon Valley -- with a background that includes both start-ups and Amazon -- and being propelled by a new global business expansion -- Volvo Cars is uniquely positioned. We are taking consumer-facing technology around the driving experience to places most players are only dreaming about - and changing how people think about automotive transportation as a result. We're committed to giving Volvo customers an entire week of quality time back per year by 2025 through these types of innovations that simplify their lives. We're looking for team members in this Digital organization who think about technology problems and opportunities in exciting and different ways - creative and critical thinkers who want to change the world with us here at Volvo.

We are looking for a hands-on Head of Consumer Connectivity Services Engineering to be an integral part of the Consumer Connectivity Services (CCS) leadership team.

Reporting to the VP of CCS Products, and collaborating with senior leadership in Consumer and Enterprise Digital, you will lead engineering development and process across many initiatives that will evolve our current development approach to a more modern software development and design approaches.

You will work on disrupting the future of car ownership by making life less complicated for our customers and ultimately save their highly valued time. By working with your peers from other parts of the business, you will build continuous value for the business.

You will oversee and contribute to multiple programming languages. This role will require a leader who can be an effective recruiter, team builder, promote a collaborative team culture, and ignite passion within the team to build world-class digital products. This role has both a technical component leading aspects of architecture and design as well as a leadership position building a high performing team.

* Participate as a hands on technical leader helping define architecture and contribute to technical design conversations based off of product roadmap
* Continually improve and optimize the product development process to ensure engineers are delivering value on a consistent, timely manner.
* Contribute to the leadership of our quality assurance team, processes and technical support operations for our platform
* Set and manage engineering expectations with team leads and work closely with product management peers.
* Manages a lightweight process for engineering career paths and career growth

Skills Required:

* Adept at leading engineering teams through resource constraining situations where good decision making is paramount
