Digitalisation is one focus area and there are many strategic initiatives in the electric powertrain and transmission assembly organisation. The purpose of the unit is to provide possibilities – through IT systems and solutions – for the local organisation to implement new ways of working. The focus is on digital solutions, increase the knowledge in digitalisation and establish a stable IT environment without impact on direct run in our operations.

• Lead, develop, and care for the people at the Digitalisation and IS/IT coordination office.

• Inspire, coach, and lead the digitalisation education efforts in a production unit with more than a thousand people.
• Manage the production information system architecture setup at the factory.
• Eliminate disturbances connected to IT with the aim to safeguard direct run and uptime in our operations.
• Manage team operations such as LayCAD, digital test assembly, IS/IT coordination, local product ownership, IT project management.
• Together with IT managers from sister units and central IT govern the progress of component assembly value stream.

Profile

We believe you have

• a curious and assertive leadership style; you are utilising growth, inclusion, teamwork, and collaboration as your main tools to reach the desired state.
• enthusiasm and experience in developing strategic initiatives – explaining the path towards sustainable transports.
• understanding and the willingness to learn more in how the production system works and its interfaces towards IT.
• clarity in the way you think and communicate. English is required since this is the main language spoken in the team. You will be aided by at least a basic understanding in Swedish.
• technical aptitude and a strive to understand the system setup for our production and logistic processes.
• an interest in your own personal development.

Previous working experience from Scania is regarded as a merit.
