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).

• Drive improvements in logistics flows, warehouse setups, and overall supply chain efficiency
• 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.

Your skills and background:

• A master’s degree in Supply Chain, Operations, Engineering, or equivalent experience

• Proven track record of leading large-scale, cross-functional programs or projects
• Experience managing complex program structures, governance, and budgets
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with experience of engaging as well as working closely with senior leadership
