Product Manager Retail Charging i Göteborg

Let’s shape the future - Together 

We’re building our business around people. We never start from a technological perspective and try to adapt to the human experience. Quite the opposite. We’ve set ourselves bold targets in innovating our sales and customer experience. Want to express yourself and shape the future of safe, personal, and sustainable mobility? Look no further. Join our team and work together to create the solutions of tomorrow.
 

Who are we
 

Within Global Electrification Offer department, the team is responsible for the end-to-end offer ownership, leading the business transformation towards Electrification and creating profitable, seamless, and sustainable new services and solutions for our customers. The charging team continues to grow, and is looking for customer-focused, relentless professionals who can assist us in achieving our targets.
 
What you’ll do
 

Our retail partners have an important role in our electrification and commercial transformation. In our strategy to provide access to a market leading charging ecosystem, charging at retail is a key cornerstone of our product roadmap and offers.
 

As a Product Manager, you will have a unique opportunity to support our retail partners shifting to electrification in their daily operations as well as providing the next level of charging experience at retail to Volvo customers. But also, fully contribute to our electrification and sustainability vision: it is not only about charging, but also about smart charging and access to renewable energies.
 

To do so, you will act at the crossroads of user experience, engineering, and business – setting the business strategy together with our regions and markets, bringing a clear business insight and customer focus, and translating the aligned strategy into comprehensive products and offers.

You will be part of a cross-functional team where you will have a strong voice in prioritizing the activities Volvo should engage in. You will have a global mindset while being able to support and take initiatives at market level when needed. To accomplish the goals, you will have to build a good collaboration with our regional and market teams to:

• Gather/collect market feedback and needs,
• Monitor market developments and competitive landscape,
• Co-Create offers and assure ownership until launch,
• Implement and monitor competitiveness of your offers throughout their lifecycle.
Since your products and offers will be addressing both our retail partners and end customer’s needs, you will also work in close collaboration with the PM for Public Charging, PM for Home Charging and PM Energy Management.
 
What you´ll get

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

What you’ll bring
 

The candidate should ideally have:
• Business knowledge and understanding for the ongoing transformation towards electrification,
• Experience from strategy establishment, working within the electrification area,
• Previous experience or proven understanding of retail network management,
• A genuine interest and understanding of the technology of the product, as well as upcoming standards and legislations,
• Demonstrated success in a matrix, multi-cultural, international environment,
• Curiosity and willingness to learn about the technology and the standards regulating the charging landscape,
• Previous experience in the charging area, 
• Education in either engineering or business or equivalent, but with a mindset and interest that cover both areas,
• Advanced communication skills and good teamwork spirit,
• Analytical skills,
• Ability to quickly define problems and draw valid conclusions,
• High motivation and ‘can-do’ mentality.
