Head of Strategic Industrial Projects

Scania is undergoing a transformation from being a supplier of trucks, buses and engines to a supplier of complete and sustainable transport solutions.

The future presents us with more complexity, ambiguity, and challenges than ever before, but it also provides more opportunities. Scania’s strategy, driving the shift, depends heavily on our ability to continuously improve and in some areas also transform our operation.

To support primarily Industrial operations, we have established teams consisting of experienced project managers and business architects to lead strategic projects and activities across Scania and in a TRATON context. We are now looking for a dynamic and experience manager when the previous manager takes up new challenges in our organization.  

Welcome to our diverse team with a high level of inclusion and transparency. 

Assignment

In this assignment, you and your team will drive larger, critical projects and initiatives that span over several functions and often brand boundaries. Typically where a natural “harbour” for the project is unclear, always when the need to make an impact on the organization is great. 

We should always strive to solve challenges close to the organization and function most affected. In select occasions we rather need to have the end-to-end and flow perspective, crossing boundaries to create the best possible solution where the customer always is the top priority. This is where your team comes into play.

You will have the responsibility to further develop the team and make sure we have the right capabilities and capacity to handle the multifaceted needs of the organization over time

One of the primary tasks is to support your team in taking away obstacles and make sure that we have focus on the end result as expected from the assignor, even in a challenging and changing environment.

In this role you will report to the Head of Strategy and Transformation, Industrial Operations, and the position will be based Södertälje, Sweden.

The formal background is a university degree in engineering, economics or equivalent.

You possess great people skills, a large dose of curiosity, and a positive can-do attitude to motivate your surroundings. Acting in an environment of change and implementing new ideas and solutions, even in complex and challenging situations, really gets you going.
