Our world is a world of change, and our industry is transforming just as fast, driven by sustainability, digitalization, and new customer demands. At Volvo Construction Equipment (Volvo CE), we see it as an opportunity to protect our planet and to build the world we all want to live in.

With curiosity, imagination and technological innovation, we develop and sell products, services and solutions that shape our future.

 

After many years within Volvo CE, our Head of People & Culture for Sales Region Europe is retiring. We are therefore looking for a progressive, business-minded and human-centric person to Head the People & Culture agenda for Sales Region Europe and continue to drive the cultural journey we are on at Volvo CE.

What you will do

You will be a member of our Volvo CE Sales Region Europe management, our Volvo CE P&C Leadership Team as well as our P&C Council, where functional, regional and country P&C leaders collaborate and drive the agenda for Volvo CE. You will be a central part in leading, shaping and co‑creating the People & Culture agenda through these forums, in networks and in collaboration with colleagues around the world. You are an enabler who actively contribute by influencing, creating movement and drive transformation on the people side of business, all to contribute to the transformation of our company worldwide.

 

In this role, you will be a key driver in all P&C focus areas and processes where the People & Competence planning is a central part, this to enable and unleash the full human potential in our organization. You will also play a central role in leading cultural transformation within Sales Region Europe and beyond, guided by our true beliefs about how we work, lead and organize – all in line with our Philosophy and strategic ambitions. Your work will connect long-term strategic direction with everyday decisions, behaviors and ways of working together with P&C colleagues across the sales organization in Europe, while your role in the global People & Culture leadership will help ensure alignment and impact across Volvo CE and Volvo Group. 

Being part of the global People & Culture leadership team means actively driving the future of Volvo CE’s people agenda, exploring what’s next, influencing change and ensuring that we not only keep up with, but stay ahead of, the times. 

In this role you will also:


·  Be the strategic People & Culture Partner for Sales Region Europe, supporting both long-term direction and daily leadership
·  Lead the Sales Region Europe P&C network, ensure an agenda that supports customer satisfaction and retail excellence together with P&C colleagues throughout the region
·  Drive and enable cultural transformation within the Sales Region Europe and Volvo CE as a whole

Curiosity and a strong willingness to stay present in the organization are essential to succeed in this role. You will actively listen, learn and support, build strong relationships with leaders and networks, and help create the conditions for the development of Sales Region Europe.

A senior, self-aware leader with a strong inner compass, high integrity and the courage to act authentically, while supporting others to do the same. You think long-term and holistically, are comfortable with complexity and dilemmas, and can see patterns, structure the unknown and help others build that capability.

 

You care deeply for people, business and the world we live in. Building trustful relationships comes naturally, as do empathy, genuine curiosity and clear communication. You listen well, adapt your message to different audiences, foster open dialogue and manage conflicts constructively.

 

As an inclusive collaborator and cocreator, you generously share your competence and are equally eager to learn from others. You drive change and improvement with courage, challenge existing structures when needed and stand up for your values.  

 

You are creative and forward-looking, believe in meaningful change, and move with ease between strategic discussions and operational matters that create meaning, engaging people at all levels of the organization.

 

·  You bring solid senior experience from leading and driving a holistic People & Culture agenda in a complex organization.
·  You have a strong track record and deep interest in cultural and organizational development and change.
·  You are an excellent communicator in English, both spoken and written.
