Product Owner for Digital Development

Do you want to save lives? At Autoliv, we believe that no one should have to be seriously injured or lose their life in a traffic accident. Every day we strive for this conviction by developing and manufacturing innovative products of superior quality. Because when people can feel safe while they are traveling, they can also live life to the fullest. We believe in cooperation and therefore we work closely with our customers and suppliers. Our teams are cross-functional and work according to agile principles in a global context.

We are expanding our team within our Global Innovation Center in Vårgårda / Gothenburg and are looking for a product owner.

About the role

As a Product Owner you will enable a small team building the next generation digital products from Autoliv. This is a part of a journey towards a data-driven future, where the product owner role is an opportunity to not only lead a team developing next generation products, but also an opportunity to scale and transform an organization. The job involves directing a development team, as well as interacting with both internal and external stakeholders while continuously looking at how we can work better and bring new products to market quicker and more efficiently.

You will work in a small team responsible for building a toolbox of software components to quickly industrialize ideas. The team will own the bootstrapping of projects, as well as building the frameworks that will be used to accelerate the time from a prototype to a product in the hands of a user.

The team will be a central part in the digital strategy in the global context that is Autoliv. You will work in an international team together with teams from all over the world.

You will work with the seed from which Autoliv will establish an agile way of working at scale. This requires leadership experience from a team management perspective, but also from an organizational transformation point of view. The team is building end-to-end solutions from embedded systems and apps to cloud infrastructure with a large portion of machine learning. A technical understanding of these fields is a plus.
