Ontology Architect

Scania is currently undergoing an exciting transformation from a traditional truck manufacturer to a provider of complete sustainable transport solutions. IT is a crucial part of this transformation as Scania’s success is depending on flexible and efficient IT solutions that support current and future business requirements.

Our challenge

Scania’s purpose is to drive the shift towards a sustainable transport system, creating a world of mobility that is better for business, society and the environment. To achieve this Scania is currently undergoing an exciting transformation from a traditional truck manufacturer to a provider of complete sustainable transport solutions. IT is a crucial part of this transformation as Scania’s success is depending on our ability to utilize the power of software and data.

To strengthen our ability to build a modern digital ecosystem that enables a data driven Scania we are now looking for an Ontology Architect to join our Information Integration team.

Your role

We have exiting initiatives ongoing to put Knowledge Graphs in the center of information integration both internal at Scania and outwards towards our partners. Our use of the Knowledge Graphs create a digital thread that spans all aspects of product development, production, sales and service. As the level of integration towards the graph increase, so does the need for creating ontologies that allow for easy admission of more systems, functions and information areas. Therefore, we are improving our capability to manage ontologies through an ontology architect.

In your role you will create processes and improve our tools that allow for more parts of Scania to start using knowledge graphs. You are able to create these ontologies yourself - and will often do so, but the aim is to allow for ontology self service to scale the capability across the organisation.

You will bridge the knowledge we have in our existing information model, and our existing ways of working - and the new methods and techniques made available through our information integration solutions - to make sure that we keep what we already have when moving to the future.

There will be extensive interaction with both technicians and business users to make sure both perspectives are considered. Your interest spans operational as well an analytical needs. To make sure that we get the right decisions and that they are used and usable in our development projects, you will be involved in both decisionboards and projects, as well as our user trainings. In short - you will be at the centre of many of our activities for making this transition happen.

Your profile

You have a strong background within information modelling and architectural work within the data area, with an agile mindset and hands on approach to develop and drive the data and information agenda forward.

You have the ability to translate complicated technical discussions to business language and vice versa.

You thrive in a global, complex and everchanging environment - where you build trust and drive change through continuous dialogue.
