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. Today, we’re expanding our global footprint in Europe, China and the US, and we’re on the lookout for new talent.
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.

What's in it for you?
At Enterprise digital foundation, we are responsible for the application portfolio and the different tools around this. We also promote modern DevOps ways of working by helping teams implement modern toolchains and coaching them in up-to-date software development practices. Our primary stakeholders are most of Volvo Cars, from finance to software developers. 
We are looking for a full-time architect for the ServiceNow workflow foundation team. You will be supported by a tightly knit co-located agile team at Volvo Cars HQ in Gothenburg, Sweden. You will be a big part of the change journey that we started with ServiceNow and get to make decisions and help our foundation team to make ServiceNow the greatest experience at Volvo Cars. 
We work in a SAFe/Agile model where trust and a speak-up culture are important to us, and we hope that you feel the same way.  

What you'll do
You will make high-level design choices for our ServiceNow platform and help the product owners with their roadmap.  Help us create an implementation plan from business cases we receive from Service Now. You will also be a member of the architecture governance board and represent Service Now in the community of practice for architects.

Who are you?
