Business Analyst

Are you passionate about software development and creating value that makes a difference? Do you want to be at the center of Scania’s unique modular system that enables an extensive portfolio of products using relatively few components and parts? Do you want to work in a multifaceted, complex, continually changing environment and take your skills to the next level? Then you are reading the right ad! 

Our awesome Value Creation Team (VCT) is looking for a Business Analyst keen on learning about and working with our unique in-house developed, proprietary metadata driven Product Data Management system OAS and its users.

The Product

OAS (Object And Structure tool) enables Scania’s modular approach by utilizing product data, structures, configuration capabilities, and support for Product Lifecycle Management. OAS supports most business areas such as Sales, Design, Production, and Service.

The Value Creation Team

We work in a Lean-Agile framework inspired by SAFe. The OAS/PDM VCT is our version of an Agile Release Train. The VCT consists of around 90 people – Product Owners, Business Analysts, Business and Solution Architects, Metadata Creators, Developers, Testers and others. The day-to-day work is done in small teams made up of a mix of these competencies. You will work in close cooperation with people who use the PDM system in their daily work. Together with your team, you will help create value for users, stakeholders, and ultimately Scania’s customers. We thrive when we can solve problems and produce results together, drawing on each other’s strengths and helping if things don’t go as planned. Transparency, integrity, flexibility, and empathy are a few examples of values we live by.

What’s in it for you?

We offer you an interesting, fun, challenging, and developing journey with passionate colleagues. The Value Creation Team is involved in many of Scania’s strategic initiatives, the work environment is international and you will have the opportunity to influence the future process and IT landscape within the TRATON Group. We will provide you with an individual development plan, so you can reach your goals and receive the right support along the way. The professional development of our employees is a priority for us, so education via internal and external courses is encouraged and supported. In addition to career and development opportunities, we can offer you other benefits such as free training at Scania's health center, or a wellness allowance. You will also be offered performance bonuses, occupational pension, flexible working hours, the opportunity to lease a car through the company, and much more. Scania also organizes several events yearly where family and friends are always welcome. If you live in Stockholm, we also offer a direct bus service between Stockholm and Södertälje.
