This is us - your new colleagues within the User Experience Design Chapter:

The User Experience Design Chapter in Digital Delivery collaborates with other parts of the organization, to foster an environment where ideas, thoughts and opinions can be shared. We are team players with common ambitions, and we win together by uncovering user needs through collected data and inputs to improve the usability of products and services across the Volvo Group. Chapter domains of expertise have been established in UX Research, UX Creation, and UX Strategy to enable the business area leaders within Volvo Group to obtain UX guidance and support in the appropriate stages of software development lifecycles to reduce cost and increase efficiencies, while improving usability for internal and external user-facing applications. Our UX Design Chapter team are tasked with researching and securing consistent UX, interaction and visual treatment of elements and components across products and services, considering a cohesive holistic experience.

We seek an innovative problem solver, a collaborative team player; a skilled UX designer who can handle multiple products of differing size, scope, and velocity. You are driven by curiosity and passionate about user-centered experience design and able to handle both high-level vision and detail-focused execution. You will work through the different stages of the design process, doing user research, facilitate ideation exercises and workshops, create and test product prototypes and support and guide the development team in product industrialization.

From the UX Design Chapter you will work across multiple teams from one of our hubs in Gothenburg, Lyon, or Wroclaw collaborating closely with engineering, product, and business teams to find elegant but practical solutions to design challenges.

We would like to know that you are comfortable with some but not all of the methods and principles of Agile, Scrum, Lean Startup, DevOps, and Design Thinking. You should be passionate about driving strategic & technological transformation in a business focused, fact-based, and collaborative way to achieve real impact.
