What you’ll do
You will partner with leaders and subject matter experts throughout the PX organization to provide effective people reporting and analysis. An important part of this is to assist them in growing their own ability to apply a people analytics lens on their line of business and thereby impact Volvo Cars on a broad scale. In collaboration with the People Analysts, Reporting Specialists and Developers of the People Analytics team you move forward in this arena through continuous enhancement of digital solutions and ways of working with the organization to relentlessly identify areas of opportunity.
In this role you will also make sure to develop cross functional- & organizational initiatives and collaborations in order to expand the business value of People Analytics within Volvo Cars.

You are currently leading a team working with data analysis, and your leadership is characterized by inclusion and creating an open and trusting work environment. You are enthusiastic about bringing out the best in every individual and you are great at empowering diverse and global teams. 
To succeed in this role, you should be a captivating storyteller excited about reaching across the table to contextualize identified insights with partners in the PX community and our business units, and able to deliver action-oriented responses to questions these partners may not even have thought to ask. You enjoy new digital solutions and innovative ways of solving complex issues. 
You are structured and self-motivated, and you bring great strategic and holistic skills. You make sure the strategy becomes reality. Making the complex simple is one of your super-powers; you package, brand and communicate the vision and strategy of how to get there in a way that creates clarity and inspires the company to get to action.
