The automotive industry is changing rapidly and so are the demands and expectations of consumers. Volvo Cars has taken a strategic decision to lead this change. This not only means building state-of-the-art premium cars, but rethinking the entire consumer experience and creating competitive offers that address our customers’ ever-changing needs. One such trend is the move towards online sales, and it’s this online transformation that will power the next great change for Volvo Cars.
In the EMEA region, we drive content production for both our traditional car products and new services such as car subscriptions – with a digital-first approach and online sales focus at the core of what we do. 

We’re currently building an in-house team that creates scalable digital content for paid and direct marketing channels, and we’re looking to grow the team with a Digital Planner.

What we’re looking for
We’re looking for an experienced planner with a background in digital content for paid and direct channels. We’re after someone who’s keen on collaborating with the Digital Content team to shape the future of marketing activation in the EMEA region. We’re seeking a person who oversees all aspects of content planning: from the nitty-gritty details of formats and ways of working, to ensuring content is produced and uploaded at the right time – as well as pushing any wider strategic topics required to leverage an in-house content planning role. 

What you’ll do
•    Take responsibility for overall planning within the team to secure and lead a scalable, consistent and aligned approach to communication
•    Organise and manage the content calendar for all digital content produced within the EMEA HUB, ensuring transparency and alignment on all other content

•    Structure, collect and compile input and data as a base for best possible ad formats/content
•    Manage and coordinate translation and implementation of material for online sales, subscription services and HUB markets
•    Lead not only strategic content dialogue but also hands-on tactical discussions, with a sales- and data-driven perspective as your guiding star
•    Take an active part in creative briefing with the team, utilising a full overview of the complete scope in order to maximise overall content scalability across channels and usage
•    Together with the digital cluster leads, plan and align to secure channel previews, approvals and activations
