Job Description

Join our journey of creating world-class supply chain solutions where we put our customers' needs first. People, data and technology are key to our success! We are now looking for a Competence Lead / Software Engineer to our new organization Business Tech.

Business Tech is a new modern agile product organization within the larger H&M group. We are a team of small and cross-competent teams each owning a product end-to-end with a mission to meet and exceed our customers’ expectations. You will be able to try out your creative and innovative ideas – and have an impact on how we shape the future of fashion and design.

About the role

In the Customer Fulfilment domain you will be part of our Inventory Optimization Product Area. Our focus is to enable our sales and operational teams with class leading tech that helps us keep our customers first.

We are on a journey together which means there is no clear path. Therefore, you will play an important role in setting the foundation and creating our future solutions for inventory optimization for our sales channels. We believe you are dynamic, collaborative, and curious!

Responsibilities

The role has a dual focus – staff responsibility and delivery. As a Competence Lead you will have staff responsibility over employees within the same/adjacent competence as your own.

You will work in an agile team, with the responsibility for creating and designing solutions that fulfil our customers' shopping experience. As a Software Engineer, you will also:

Qualifications

As a Competence Lead / Software Engineer at H&M Group you will embark on a journey that will lead to something new and exciting - we will test, fail and learn. For the Competence Lead assignment, we are looking for someone who has demonstrated potential for the leadership we aspire for within Business Tech. Previous experience from leadership and staff responsibility is of merit, but not required.

You are an important player in this transformation, and so we believe you are communicative, flexible, stress-resistant and able to work in an environment that is not yet formalized. You have previous experience from working in large companies with many stakeholders, you have worked with distributed teams, with integration platforms and you know how to translate business requirements and visualize technical roadmaps. We also believe that you have:

• Ability to manage complexity when there are no given answers
• Experience from stepping forward and assuming an informal leadership role when needed
