Moreover, it will be essential you have a strong ability to form trustful relationships to effectively work with partners - inside and outside of the Volvo Group – in a cross-functional manner.


If our entrepreneurial spirit, adaptability, and customer-focused mindset light your inner fire, we might be a great match!
