Product Manager Energy Management i Göteborg

Let's create the future together.

At Volvo Cars, we believe that being curious and truly committed to understanding people is the key to future success. We are people who care about other people, working together to create new technologies and innovations for safe, sustainable and convenient mobility. Want to join us?

Who are we? 
Volvo Cars is on an ambitious journey to re-define the customer experience related to car usage and ownership and become a fully electric company. The electrification Ecosystem is part of our Corporate Strategy as well as one of our Sustainability Strategic initiatives. We see the electrification ecosystem as an integrated part of the electrification strategy and a prerequisite to reaching requirements on fleet CO₂ and our commitment to the Paris Agreement. 

Within Consumer Offer, the Electrification Ecosystem team is responsible for the overarching Ecosystem Product strategy and ownership, leading the business transformation towards Electrification and creating profitable, seamless and sustainable new services and solutions for our customers. The Electrification Ecosystem team continues to grow and is looking for customer-obsessed, relentless individuals who can help us achieve our targets.
 

What you’ll do
With the growth in renewables, energy markets are becoming increasingly volatile. Electric vehicles consume a lot of electricity. Some call them a burden on the energy system. We believe electric cars can be part of the solution. Their grid consumption can be flexible in time and with bi-directional charging, they would even be able to supply power when needed. 

Part of the strategic puzzle is for the cars to be part of a Home energy management system (HEMS) and an aggregated part of a Virtual power plant. We are looking for a Product Manager for HEMS & VPP. 

As a product manager, you act in the intersection of user experience, technology and business. You will lead the strategy and vision work within the area and be part of a cross-functional team. You will have a strong voice in prioritizing the activities Volvo could engage in. You will have a global mindset and take initiatives in different markets. 

To succeed, you will need to constantly have the end customer in mind and engage in market research. You will have a watch on competitors and adapt as market landscape changes. You will need people skills and build bridges between different parts of the organization. You will need a genuine interest and understanding of the technology of the product.

What you´ll get?

• Very good understanding of the area of Energy management
• Insight into management priorities
• Collaboration with a motivated and diverse team with great learning opportunities
• Empowerment, recognition, and exposure

You and your skills  
The candidate should preferably have:

• Business acumen and understanding of the ongoing transformation toward electrification
• Experience from strategy establishment, preferably within the electrification area 
• Demonstrated success in a matrix, multi-cultural, international environment
• Curiosity and willingness to learn the technology involved in HEMS & VPP
• Education in either engineering or business or equivalent, but with a mindset and interest that cover both areas. 
• Excellent communication skills and strong teamwork spirit
• Analytical skills
• Ability to quickly define problems and draw valid conclusions 
• Strong drive and ‘can-do’ mentality
• Background within Energy or digital development is meritorious
