We are looking for an experience project manager with excellent stakeholder skills, efficient communication and you have a broad internal network and can bring people together. Project prerequisites are not all set from the beginning and rather than spending time waiting for a complete plan you act.

Other key qualifications and competencies for the position:

• Broad technical knowledge across multiple domains within the transportation industry.
• Proven experience in managing complex, cross-functional projects with excellent results.

• Confident in addressing and resolving challenging issues, speaking up when necessary.
• Experience in balancing and managing risks effectively in dynamic project environments.
• A Master of Science degree or equivalent university qualification; PMP certification is a plus.
• Extensive experience in project management, ideally within the transportation sector.
• Prior experience in the defense/military sector, particularly with tender/offer business and military requirements, is advantageous.

You will be part of a team of Chief Project Managers and Vehicle Architects for the Special Vehicles products and projects. As a core member in our team, we offer you to work in a collaborative atmosphere and a culture of can-do-attitude.

Distinct responsibilities include:

• Leading cross functional Volvo project team to deliver according to commitments
• Reporting in Volvo governance up to executive management and leading alignment with all involved Volvo functions

If you have an open mindset to new innovative ways of working and get energized by working close to the customer and constantly evolving to meet their needs, you might be our next colleague.   

Ready for the next move?

We promise you some truly exciting challenges and the opportunity to join a team of skilled colleagues. We are eager to learn from you and you will get fantastic opportunities to learn and develop with us.
