Solution Architect - Corporate Worklife i Göteborg

It's Not About Cars. It's About People.

Our human-centric focus is what makes us different from all other car companies, and it’s at the heart of everything we create. If you want to join us in our mission to make people’s lives less complicated, we offer you a chance to grow together with talented people who want to make a true difference.

You want to make a difference. So do we. 

Within Digital, we are on an exciting journey disrupting the boundaries between our public-facing website and our Intranet. We are redefining the way we work company-wide focusing on engagement and user experience, building a new ecosystem of channels, and creating one global and digital community. We offer you a once-in-a-lifetime chance to be part of making an impact, developing the Intranet and Channel Strategy of the future.  

From an architecture perspective, you will sit at the intersection of the corporate and commercial IT landscapes. On the corporate side, we are finalizing the journey of leaving our local data centers and entering the cloud; you will work in a domain where the IT landscape is a mix of SaaS solutions, and in-house development on the cloud. On the Commercial side, we are developing APIs to interact with our headless CMS.
 

This position could sit in either our Gothenburg, Malmö, or Stockholm office.

Who are we?

We approach communication by daring to be disruptive and creative, by daring to do what others do not. Our strategy embraces this mindset and encourages our people to be bold. We are building a truly international, collaborative culture where teams are driven by our purpose. One of our missions is to break down the barriers between what is internal and external, tying together our internal communication channels, digital work-life, digital workplace, and www.volvocars.com. This will aid us in enhancing transparency, brand advocacy, talent attraction, and user experience. This is where you come in.
