Communication Strategist for Employee Communication at Volvo Cars

Who are we?
Volvo Cars is a company on a mission; to bring traditional car manufacturing into a connected, sustainable and smart future.
Since 1927, we have been a brand known for our commitment to safety, creating innovative cars that make life less complicated for our consumers. In 2010, we decided to transform our business, resulting in a totally new generation of cars and technologies, as well as steady growth and record sales. Today, we’re expanding our global footprint in Europe, China and the US, and we’re on the lookout for new talent.
We are constantly pushing our own skills and abilities to drive change in the automobile industry like never before. We are looking for innovative, committed people to join us in this endeavour and create safe, sustainable and connected cars. We believe in the power of people and will challenge and support you to reach your full potential. Join us and be part of Volvo Cars’ journey into the future.

You want to lead communication initiatives and develop great stories. So what’s your next move?

Imagine being part of the most exciting industry on the planet. Our future is all about tech – electrified and totally connected to people’s everyday lives. Tech that will shift how our society functions. But how do we introduce this future in a way that’s safe and sustainable? These are some of the questions we’re solving here at Volvo Cars. 

We’ve set our targets big. Being all electric by 2030 and climate neutral by 2040 are just two. We’re also bringing software development in-house and moving car sales online.

This fast transformation isn’t for everyone. But if you’re excited by the technological and sustainability challenges facing the auto industry and society at large, then you’re a great fit.

Join us and watch your ideas shape the future of mobility.
