Project Manager Volvo Cars / Lynk & Co Partnership

Who are we?
Volvo Cars is a company on a mission; to bring traditional car manufacturing into a connected, sustainable and smart future.

Lynk & Co, an affiliate of Volvo Cars, is evolving its business strategy with ambitious growth targets for the coming years, expanding its sales channels, products and markets. 

Together with Lynk & Co, we have identified an opportunity to use our extensive retail network and commercial capabilities to help accelerate Lynk & Co’s growth across Europe – for mutual benefit. While Lynk & Co will remain responsible for its sales, our expertise and operational processes will be key to helping the brand succeed in this new chapter.
To support this partnership, we have established a new dedicated team and performance center within the European division of our Commercial organization. This team will manage the full scope of the collaboration, ensuring smooth coordination with relevant departments and overseeing the delivery of key services to Lynk & Co.

Formally, this partnership is governed through a joint venture. The board of the new entity, serving as a steering committee for the partnership, will ensure that both brands' interests are well represented.
