Global Supply Chain - let’s introduce ourselves

At Volvo Cars Global Supply Chain Management, we manage and develop a global inbound supply chain that is constantly evolving to be ready for the future. We do this in a lean and sustainable manner with a constant eye on new opportunities and developments. We care about people, safety, and sustainability in line with our brand promise. 

At Inbound Logistics Engineering, we work together with internal and external stakeholders to find the best-in-class logistics solutions for our global inbound supply chain towards our production plants. We are a diverse global team based in Gothenburg, Shanghai and Charleston and we are now looking for an experienced engineer to complement our team in EMEA. The automotive logistics industry is a dynamic, competitive yet rewarding place to be with lots of challenges in the years ahead as the automotive industry is transforming to an electrified and sustainable future.

Your responsibilities will also encompass ensuring the right flow design and strategies related to Inbound within our Car Programs where we design and prepare for our coming car models. Depending on the project, you will both lead and be part of cross functional teams with our key stakeholders.

While our current opening is manufacturing-centric, we actively encourage team members to explore both focus areas over time, fostering a dynamic and collaborative environment.
