For over 330 years, Husqvarna Group has been a pioneer in innovation, shaping the way we interact with urban and green spaces. Our journey has been one of continuous reinvention—adapting, evolving, and staying ahead of the curve.

Now, we’re embarking on one of our largest transformations yet, and we want you to be part of our story.

Welcome to GIS in Husqvarna Group - We are empowering our company through sustainable technology and data.

In this role, you will be a part of Global Information Services (GIS), which is our Global IT Department. Here, we lead digital transformation with a focus on lean thinking and agility. We drive global IT strategy execution, ensure effective governance, and provide organizational and technology capabilities - to support our business divisions. Our mission is to achieve a flexible, robust, safe, and efficient IT landscape that supports Husqvarna Group’s business strategies and digital transformation journey.

Your Opportunity: Shape the Future of How We Work

We are on a mission to reshape how Husqvarna Group operates - moving from traditional structures to agile, empowered ways of working. This transformation is about redefining how our entire organization collaborates, makes decisions, and most importantly - drives innovation.

As a key leader in this journey, you will be part of driving the transformation of our IT function, ensuring that we create an efficient, flexible, and modern way of working that aligns with the needs of our business. You will play a crucial role in leading change management projects, engaging senior stakeholders, and setting the standard for how we work with solution technology across the entire company (globally).

Now, we're working with different large initiatives. For example, we are on a journey to consolidate numerous ERP systems into a single, unified SAP S/4 HANA platform. This program is a cornerstone of our digital future and will require strong leadership, collaboration, and execution.
