Managing Director for the new Volvo Brand Experience Center i Göteborg

Volvo Group and Volvo Cars share the ownership of the Volvo brand - and soon the two companies will jointly run a new Brand Experience Center.

The aim is to create a vibrant meeting place, conveying the essence of the Volvo brand to visitors from all over the world. A venue presenting the past and present of the two different Volvo companies in a compelling and engaging way, also turning its focus to Volvo’s vision of the future and how Volvo can make a difference. The center with its inclusive design including exhibition space, restaurant, café and conferencing areas, will be built in Gothenburg - the hometown of Volvo - and aims to open in approximately two years from now. 
 

Who we look for:
Are you a result oriented, experienced manager with sharp commercial skills, who is willing to build, develop and motivate your team with energy and passion?  And are you ready to live, breathe the Volvo values, taking part in building the Volvo brand with curiosity and drive? Then please continue to read because you might very well be the one we are looking for!

To be successful in this position you need to have a strong business mindset and an entrepreneurial approach to business and partnership development. Your skills and solution oriented mind will take you a long way, but just as important is your integrity, diplomacy and negotiation skills.

Your professional background is probably from a similar role with ownership of both operations and business development. You are a seasoned leader with a solid track record of exceeding sales targets and, in creative ways, finding new business opportunities and revenue streams.

Your challenge:
With the brand image in mind you will be responsible for the overall management of all strategic and operational marketing and customer relationship activities. Your mission will be to make the business flourish and be profitable as a standalone company – attracting visitors and establish the venue as a top experience with worldwide reputation. Budget, planning, setting revenue targets and key performance indicators and closely monitor effectiveness are also obvious elements in this role. You will work with events and partnerships to boost the Volvo product and employer brand and be highly involved in the concept and business development - in close cooperation with the Brand Experience Center Board. The center will be run as a Joint Venture and you will be reporting to the Board, which consists of representatives from both Volvo companies. 

What we offer:
We can’t promise you an effortless job, but you will have the opportunity to form something completely new with the muscles of Sweden’s two biggest companies behind you. You will be working with passionate colleagues and truly exciting challenges, being on the Volvo scene as one of our strongest brand ambassadors. We are eager to learn from you, and you will get fantastic opportunities to learn and develop with us. When you succeed, we succeed.
