Junior Venture Builder to Scania Ventures, Mobility Solutions

The transport industry is undergoing a paradigm shift. Technological developments will over time revolution the relationship Scania has with its customers and the company’s role in the transport value chain. Through this transformation Scania will adapt from being a supplier of trucks, buses, and engines to also being a supplier of complete and sustainable transport solutions. 

Mobility Solutions is our new business area with the mission to lead Scania’s ambition to take a larger role in the transport ecosystem. Initially Mobility Solutions primarily focus on driving Scania’s autonomous transport roadmap and providing Transport-as-a-Service (LOTS Group). Now, we look to develop and deliver new businesses supporting Scania’s long-term growth and profitability through our new Corporate Venturing function.   

The position 

At Scania Ventures, we invite our colleagues to think outside the box and offer the possibility to build ventures (start-ups) within the company. We will continuously drive a number of ventures in parallel, and you will have an important role in supporting and building these. Often, you will be a part of a small venture team focusing on exploring a new business idea that can become key for Scania in the future. Other times, you will be working on evaluating what venture(s) to accelerate next.  

As part of Mobility Solutions, you and the venture operate under a high degree of freedom and autonomy, while also having access to expertise and supporting functions e.g. legal/HR/finance. You will be reporting to Head of Scania Ventures.
