Product owner for supplier collaboration platform

Scania is now undergoing a transformation from being a supplier of trucks, buses and engines to a supplier of complete and sustainable transport solutions.Scania Logistics has taken the decision to replace the current digital platform where we collaborate with our suppliers (e.g., confirm material deliveries) into a new platform developed by one of the brands within TRATON Group, RIO.

The platform will be used externally by our suppliers to confirm the amount of goods/pallets to be picked up in a certain day but also internally, giving input to our transport (TMS), material and packaging planners. 

Our vision is also to develop a platform that increases the synergies among the brands within TRATON group and we are looking for a Product Owner who has the ability to create the path towards this vision.
