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.

What you’ll do

In Digital Core we will create a secure digital infrastructure that enables growth, scale, and efficiency. At Volvo Cars, we intend to improve the digital backbone by building out necessary capabilities for our future business, but also by decreasing technical debt and unlocking efficiencies in our current business capabilities. As a Senior Program Manager in Digital Core, we’ll expect you to plan and support cross functional digital programs where you collaborate with well-established teams/cluster/areas as R&D, Manufacturing, Cyber Security, Finance, Supply Chain Management, etc. You will have an important role driving change and implementing new capabilities that’s makes a difference, but also setting the roadmap, strategy, goals, and key results for the program.

We are a currently looking for two Senior Program Managers for our growing team. For both roles, you should have an extensive experience of leading complex and strategic cross-functional digital programs where you balance stakeholders, senior management and product teams in an agile set up. For one of the roles, it is a bonus to also have experience of hardware development of complex high-tech industrial products, for example cars, trucks, or similar and understand how the software and digital backbone connects to each other.

What you’ll bring

We are a human-centric business that recognizes the value in human relations. At Volvo Cars, we never start with technology and try to squeeze people in around it – we always design our cars around people. That’s us. But how about you? We hope you’re a strategic, a doer, a leader, and a self-motivator. What’s important is that you share our ideals and enthusiasm for transformation – and that you’re comfortable being you.

In the role of Senior Program Manager, we are looking for someone who is a collaborator, good communicative and interpersonal skills, able to converse at a senior management level and other. You must have experience from working in the capacity of a servant leader and coach for large teams, but also building effective virtual teams. Your ability to manage risks and dependencies across different teams and to visualize a consolidated roadmap is great. You are excited about digital technology and but also the skillset of Program Management and how it can enable us to reach our mission requirements. And finally, although we see you as having experience, we need you to be committed to learning more – because this is what is moving us towards our innovative goals.
