The members of the team are very highly skilled individuals, with extensive knowledge about the aftermarket, - but they also have vast experience in the development of both cars and service products. Your main objective will be to oversee the progress of committed development and promote readiness to launch according to long- & short-term business plans and the service strategy.
In this role, you will be collaborating with other leaders within Car Service Business but also other key stakeholders to balance priorities and optimize resource allocation across all product areas in the service business.

We see that you hold a Master's degree in Engineering and/or a Master's in Business and Economics (or equivalent experience) and that you have at least ten years of experience in program management positions within development organizations.
