What we offer
The purpose of Global Offer is to ensure that Volvo Cars goes to market with a holistic set of commercial offers that maximize customer lifetime value.  The pipeline of new products and offers in new domains reveals Volvo Cars’ high ambition and boundaries being stretched! It’s exciting times, Volvo Cars is breaking new ground, and we are in the midst of it. The Commercialization team is going to market with new products and offers, i.e., commercializing products and offers. We do that by connecting commercial development with digital capabilities and operational processes to bring products, offers and capabilities to our customers from an end-to-end perspective. And our focus is new, complex, and large launches in unknown domains.  
What you’ll do
Our goal is to successfully enable sales, marketing and usage of products and offers in relevant sales channels and ensuring a great customer journey. Hence, you will drive exploration, development, test and launch activities and ensure all commercial-, digital-, and operational aspects are cared for. This means you will closely collaborate with various teams’ cross functions and leverage input from experts in different fields, for example pricing and legal, as well as securing senior management buy in when needed. You are accountable for commercial launches of new products, offers, commercial capabilities or sales channels.
What you’ll bring
You are energized by challenges and operate effectively even when things are not certain and there are many questions in the air. You can easily make sense of complex, high quantity, and sometimes contradictory information to effectively solve problems. The pre-defined approach for how we go about is easily translated into action and real situations, and you are able to seamlessly switch between helicopter view (what problem am I solving for and is my focus rightly prioritized) with deep diving into any new area to solve a detailed problem. 
You have strong skills in stakeholder management cross functions and naturally ensure ownership in terms of holding self and other accountable to meet commitments.
