Business Process Manager

Every day, we get opportunities to make a positive impact – on our colleagues, partners, customers and society. Together, we’re pioneering the solutions of the future and unlocking the full potential of precious resources. Trusted to act on initiative, we challenge conventional thinking to develop world-leading technologies that inspire progress in vital areas, including energy, food, water and shipping.​ As we push forward, the innovative, open spirit that fuels our 140-year-old start-up culture and rapid growth also drives our personal growth. So, as we shape a more resourceful, less wasteful world, we build our careers too. 

Are you passionate about capturing the business requirements and stakeholder needs when implementing new systems, and driving process improvements and managing change to align our local Distribution Centers?  

Within our Parts, Distribution & Logistics (PDL) division we’re constantly exploring how to elevate our processes, tools, and business practices globally across our DCs. As a key member of the Business Process Manager Team, your mission is to understand global and local requirements, drive process improvements, and pay attention to the end-to-end processes in our system roll-out projects. 

Key Responsibilities: 

• Global process management: Identify common and unique parts of the DC supply chain processes, secure updated process documentation, review and align between DCs and ERP process managers.

• Understand the business and translate into IT requirements: Take active part in the fit/gap analysis in the ERP replacement projects, secure that all DC requirements and business stakeholder needs are put into word and follow-up to ensure fit for purpose.

• PDL process improvement projects: Lead initiatives to change and streamline targeted parts of the DC supply chain processes. 

• Community Leadership: Drive the process community within PDL, sharing best practices and impactful use cases across the organization. 

This is a global role, based in Lund (SE), Tumba (SE) or Greenwood Indiana (US), with the opportunity to travel internationally to our sites in Asia, the USA, and Europe (~45 travel days per year).
