Business Developer Purchasing, Scania

Scania is now undergoing a transformation from being a supplier of trucks, buses, and engines to a supplier of complete and sustainable transport solutions. At the same time, our responsibility and cooperation within the TRATON group is growing. This will require new ways of thinking and working. We need to develop the capabilities to deliver complete solutions with speed and flexibility in close customer and supplier collaboration and do this in a way that inspires and empowers our employees.

Do you want to be a part of this transformation by developing digital solutions for purchasing?
We are looking for a driven Product Owner with experience in supplier collaboration, who enjoys creating clarity in complexity and thrives in a collaborative environment!

About the role
Within your area of responsibility (primarily supplier portals, such as Supplier360) you will be the main link between multiple business stakeholders and the IT development team, ensuring that they have clear priorities and a suitable amount of prepared work to do. Working according to agile principles, you will plan and prioritize product features in the backlog based on your analysis of organizational needs. You will also work with data management questions and incident-related activities, to ensure that our users get the support needed.

Right now, we are on a journey of transitioning to a new System Landscape based on SAP, utilizing the power of software and data and enabling end-to-end process flows. For the Product Owner, this means close collaboration with stakeholders and actively working with the IT Roadmap, identifying strategic opportunities, and securing actions required.

As a team, we are also driving various topics to enable the transformation to a more data-driven organization. Therefore, we generally aim to strengthen our team with competencies within data and business analytics.
