 At Husqvarna Group, innovation is in our DNA. With over 330 years of heritage and a passion for pioneering technology, we design and deliver world class products and solutions for forest, park, garden and construction care. From robotic lawn mowers to cutting-edge chainsaws and sustainable battery systems, we’re shaping the future — and we want you to be part of it.

Are you ready to lead a transformation at scale and redefine how a global supply chain operates end-to-end?

We are now looking for a Program Director to lead one of our most critical strategic initiatives. This role sits at the core of our operations strategy and will have a direct impact on our future competitiveness and growth. You will join Global Operations and take ownership of a large-scale transformation program with multiple strategic initiatives, spanning logistics, planning, sourcing, and customer delivery across regions and channels. You will report to Anders Lilja, VP Transformation Office.

About the role:

In this role, you will lead our Supply Chain Control program, a high-impact initiative transforming our end-to-end supply chain - from planning and supplier performance to logistics flows and final customer delivery.

The program includes a broad portfolio of initiatives, including digitalization, logistics optimization, and the development of new ways of working within operations, based on a more agile, efficient as well as customer-centric setup.

You will operate at the intersection of strategy and execution, working closely with senior leadership and steering a global program with multiple workstreams and stakeholders as well as leading the development and continuous improvement of Husqvarna's Global Lean System (HOS).

  • Establish strong governance, structure, and performance tracking for the program
  • Act as a trusted advisor to senior leadership, influencing key strategic decisions
  • Drive operational excellence and embed new ways of working across the organization

About you:

You are a strong and structured leader who thrives in complex, global environments. You combine strategic thinking with hands-on execution and have a proven ability to turn ambitious plans into tangible results.

You are confident engaging with senior stakeholders, building trust across the organization, and navigating high-level discussions with clarity and impact.

As a person, you are proactive, analytical and solution-oriented - someone who identifies challenges early and drives them to resolution. You enjoy working close to the business, building strong relationships, and creating momentum across teams.
