Senior Sustainability Business Developer - Decarbonisation

Scania is now undergoing a transformation from being a supplier of trucks, buses and engines to a supplier of complete and sustainable transport solutions.

Covering a one-year parental leave (and possibly longer), your main assignment will be to continue the implementation of Scania’s supply chain decarbonisation strategy in the line organisation and secure its seamless integration in the sourcing process. Our business development function supports the global Scania organisation by providing processes, methods, guidelines, training, and by advising the purchasing organisation on regards of strategic decisions to fulfill our ambition level.
