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

Since 1927, we have been a brand known for our commitment to safety, creating innovative cars that make life less complicated for our consumers. In 2010, we decided to transform our business, resulting in a totally new generation of cars and technologies, as well as steady growth and record sales.

We are constantly pushing our own skills and abilities to drive change in the automobile industry like never before. We are looking for innovative, committed people to join us in this endeavour and create safe, sustainable and connected cars. We believe in the power of people and will challenge and support you to reach your full potential. Join us and be part of Volvo Cars’ journey into the future.

Who we are!
After decades at the forefront of automotive safety, Volvo Cars has quietly become one of the world’s most tech-intensive car brands. On top of this we also are one of the world’s fastest growing premium car brands combining growth with exploration of new business models for mobility.
Volvo Cars believes the electrification of the automotive industry will be a gradual process, meaning there will be significant ongoing demand for efficient hybrid powertrains alongside fully electric offerings.

You will collaborate with, support and get support from, other finance teams. You will identify waste in the finance processes and actively contributing in reducing it and management the risks. You will participate in the preparation of the business set up with Geely including finance matters within carve-out, due diligence and valuation.
