This role is within our Consumer Commercial Digital Products (CCDP) team, which is using digital technologies to reinvent the experience of becoming a Volvo customer. There’s no reason the experience of buying a car should be painful and difficult – it should be as enjoyable and exciting as actually having a new car. That is our mission. This is a rapidly growing team, and we are looking for outstanding people who will be some of the earliest hires in their function, helping to establish it at Volvo Cars.
You will be leading the development for Volvo Car’s core consumer E-commerce experience, creating new online (“sign up”) experiences for customer access to our vehicles. You will be responsible for building and leading a team of software managers, architects, and engineers, located in Mt. View and Gothenburg, Sweden. You will be responsible for strategic planning and software development for the customer “sign up” experience, spanning from innovating new online vehicle E-commerce models (such as vehicle subscriptions and sharing) to creating new AR/VR experiences to showcase vehicles and features to customers. You love creating scalable, global, products delivered across multiple-channels – web, mobile and kiosks.
This position reports to the CCDP Head of Engineering and is located in Volvo’s Mountain View, CA Software Technology Center.
