Learning & Development Specialist i Göteborg

We are people who want to make a difference.
Volvo Cars is in the midst of a transformation journey. We operate in a fast-changing industry and are growing globally. Our culture encourages continuous improvements, cross-functional and diverse collaboration as well as creativity and passion. The purpose of Learning & Development is to ensure our community within Volvo Cars and our staff in the Retailer network have the commercial and technical knowledge and skills to perform their jobs at top level. It is an exciting time as the business is transforming and we are transforming with it.

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!

Let’s introduce ourselves:
We have an exciting opportunity for a talented technical expert to join the Global Commercial Operations Learning Solutions team at Volvo Cars. The team is responsible for driving the planning, development and delivery of all global learning activities that support our retailer teams around the globe.

Over the last six months we have transformed how we work with our regional L&D teams, aligning functionally to ensure an efficient global operation. This change means that the successful candidate will have the opportunity to work directly with a global team of stakeholders. You will directly support the regional L&D lead in Europe by establishing market-level technical requirements to ensure that our solutions can be effectively executed by market teams.
 

Who are you?
We’re looking for the right individual who can step into the role and build credibility and trust with colleagues at all levels. This is a hugely varied role that will see you working closely with the wider L&D team as well as teams from across other business areas of Volvo Cars.

You can expect to work on a broad range of projects, from researching new product technical specifications for launch training to building the curriculum development activities that help us to drive long term performance improvement across the retailer network.

To do this we expect that you’ll have a good mix of the following:

• Automotive technical background/master technician equivalent (inc. High Voltage)
• Experience of researching and developing technical training content
• Experience in managing your own portfolio of projects
• Experience in influencing the actions and performance of others through coaching or other means
• The ability to demonstrate & train technical operations confidently (desirable)
• Retailer network experience (desirable)
• Experience in a field technical role or similar (desirable)

Your background:
This role could provide the next development step for individuals from a range of current positions. We are searching for someone with a comprehensive automotive technical background, but it’s possible that you might not be in an L&D role today. You might currently be a technical expert, technical manager or support role.

This role could potentially suit someone who has experience as a technical trainer at a national level, looking to make the next career step into a global role.

Whatever your current role, you should be comfortable with balancing the challenges of working in a high-paced environment with a high degree of autonomy, whilst still being able to work effectively as part of a multi-skilled team.

Location:
We operate from Volvo Cars headquarter in Gothenburg, Sweden. It is therefore the preferred location for the ideal candidate.

Who are we?
Everything we do starts with people. Our purpose is to provide freedom to move, in a personal, sustainable and safe way. We are committed to simplifying our customers’ lives by offering better technology solutions that improve their impact on the world and bringing the most advanced mobility innovations to protect them, their loved ones and the people around them.

Volvo Cars’ continued success is the result of a collaborative, diverse, and inclusive working environment. The people of Volvo Cars are committed to making a difference in our world. Today, we are one of the most well-known and respected car brands, with over 40,000 employees across the globe. We believe in bringing out the best in each other and harnessing the true power of people. At Volvo Cars your career is designed around your talents and aspirations so you can reach your full potential. Join us on a journey of a lifetime as we create safety, autonomous driving and electrification technologies of tomorrow.

Whatever your current role, you should be comfortable with balancing the challenges of working in a high-paced environment with a high degree of autonomy, whilst still being able to work effectively as part of a multi-skilled team.
