About the Role
Do you have experience in leading people and developing teams within an R&D driven organization? Or do you have experience from leading projects of various size, being well familiar with the development process within Volvo Group and hold solid project management skills? We are looking for a result-oriented group manager to manage a team of project managers and the control of the department portfolio budget and workload balance. You and your team will ensure well managed project deliveries, with good order of financials and manning, in close cooperation with all other managers in the department. As a group manager, you will be responsible for effectively organizing the team and coaching them through inspiring and engaging leadership.

We are looking for...
… a natural-born communicator. Clearly and transparently, you address people and groups at different organizational levels. As a leader, you are engaging, structured, and creative with a drive for results and team performance excellence. With your previous experience, you know how to make decisions based on available facts, judgement and given time frames. Since you're a social person, you curiously network across all functions and countries to drive the best possible results and welcome new ways of doing things. And even though you are confident about your ability with a solid background, you're still a prestige-less and flexible person who always wants the best for your colleagues – both in wellbeing and development opportunities.
