We value cross-functional work within Scania and the entire Traton Group. We believe that key ingredients to successful results comes from inclusion, knowledge sharing, dedication, and with a work/life balance.

Main Tasks
The organization you will be heading consists of 2 teams and in total 21 employees including yourself. It was formed in 2021 and is responsible for services and components bringing electricity from the grid to the wheels. This includes the charging stations and interfaces, power transmission, high-voltage powertrain components, and high-voltage battery cells. It is a challenging area which is now in the process of scaling. Volumes will grow and new performance steps will be introduced in our Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV) over the years to come.

Together with your team, you will work close to a wide range of internal and external stakeholders to secure procurement’s contribution to Scania’s long-term strategies and objectives. A selection of business challenges you will face during the remainder of 2024 ;

• balancing supply chain capacity with demand, especially in the area of battery cells
• secure a disturbance-free ramp for BEV3 Intro 1 and 2
• source the global demand for electrification components to the Global Battery Platform (GBP)
• transforming from a predominant project focus to a balanced project and commodity focus

Me as a leader
What truly drives me are challenging tasks and the opportunity to make a change. I find it very motivating to have the ability to utilize the strengths and capabilities of both the team and individuals to achieve our objectives. I prefer environments that are dynamic and with a high pace rather than the opposite.

In the management team of Powertrain & Electrification, I expect that we act and work as one team and strongly believe on both individual and joint accountability connected to what we together set out to achieve. We are encouraged by creating a modern, open workplace where people are involved, engaged, and connected.
