Volvo Cars is a company on a mission; to bring traditional car manufacturing into a connected, sustainable and smart future.
Indirect Procurement Professionals to Global Investments
Be part of the transformation
The mobility industry is changing rapidly, and the competitive environment and our company's strategy are under fast change. In this landscape, Volvo Cars are growing our global footprint. We are building a brand new electric-only manufacturing plant in Slovakia, to reach our ambitious target to become a fully electric mobility company by 2030.
To do this, we need you! We not only value your previous experience and competencies but also your personality and your passion to develop and embrace unknown future challenges.
Most important is that you share our values, truly believe in and are motivated by our purpose, and have an honest ambition to join a dynamic team that is deeply committed to transforming and progressing the consumer experience in the mobility industry at a global scale.
Competence and experience are important, but personality and passion are key!
We value personal qualities, diversity, and team spirit and you will be part of a cross-functional and international team, with English as the primary language for written and spoken communication.
This position will be part of our Global Investments team within the Indirect Procurement Department that together with our stakeholders, representing the entire company, drive the transformation of our company.
We will grow our team in the areas and segments, covering:
• Final Assembly Equipment
• Construction & Facilities
• Paint Shop Equipment
We are looking for both very experienced and senior procurement specialists, but also you who have less experience but come with a business mindset together with the right drive, ambition and attitude. 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 as well as our internal organization.
Your key tasks
• Lead and support cross-functional sourcing projects within the category including preparation, execution, analysis, negotiation, supplier selection, and contract management
• Develop and implement category and supplier strategies
• Create and maintain commercial relations with suppliers and stakeholders
• Work proactively with key business stakeholders to understand your product/service, its market, supply base, and potential innovation to find ways to increase value for Volvo Cars - including cost, quality, and sustainability
• Perform market analysis, prioritization, and identification of optimal negotiation tactics
• Dare to question status quo or decided routes with stakeholders, suppliers, and people; and work proactively to build a better understanding and work towards common solutions
• There will be some need for global business travel.
Do you fit the profile?
You lead your procurement area with confidence and create collaborative relations with your suppliers and internal stakeholders. You enjoy working in a team and you like to have fun at work.
Complex environments are something you thrive in, where you skillfully balance the interests of many while not losing focus on deliveries. You love creating from scratch and prefer to throw yourself in rather than sit and wait for your turn.
You have experience doing business in an international environment with global suppliers where strong business acumen is a prerequisite as well as an ability to shift between short-term focus and long-term ambitions.
You have knowledge and experience in one or several of the areas defined above, preferably in an international environment where you have worked with supplier management and contractual topics. You are used to driving fact-based negotiations/discussions and have solid experience in negotiations. You are used to creating plans and working in a structured way to achieve goals and you are used to prioritizing.
You have a university degree or equivalent experience and automotive experience is an advantage but not mandatory.
