Do You Want to Make a Real Difference? Here You Contribute to Creating Security for People and Societies. What You Do Matters.
Your Role
We are now seeking a leader who wants to lead and develop our production technology area in a dynamic environment with full focus on growth and delivery.
Production Technology within Underwater Systems is responsible for developing and delivering production technology solutions used in Saab Kockums' operations in Linköping and Motala. We are on an exciting growth journey where we work broadly to optimize existing flows while developing new technical solutions and methods. Additionally, we ensure that ongoing production has all technical prerequisites to enable the best quality, best delivery capability at the lowest cost.
In our ongoing transformation journey, you will have a large mandate and good opportunities to shape the organization, its working methods, and processes. To assist you, you will have a group of knowledgeable and committed employees and the entire production technology department. Recruitment of a section manager for the organization is ongoing in parallel.
In your role as Area Manager, you will be responsible for leading and coaching two management colleagues within different parts of production technology. You will function as a key person in creating and driving an effective management structure, where coordination between different units and work areas is crucial to achieving the company's goals. By motivating, supporting, and developing your employees and their teams, you ensure that the entire organization works towards common results and continuous improvement.
Your Profile
We are looking for someone who is flexible, proactive, and ready to take on challenges in a dynamic and changing environment. If you are passionate about leading teams through change and see opportunities where others see obstacles, then this is the role for you.
To succeed in the role, we want you to have solid leadership experience, preferably in an environment where you have led other managers. You have strong technical competence that helps you understand and manage complex production and business processes. At the same time, you are a skilled communicator, both internally and externally, and have the ability to clearly convey goals, visions, and strategies in a way that engages and creates participation.
We believe you have a technical background, preferably in production or engineering fields, but even more important are your personal qualities. You will approach the role with an open and inclusive leadership style, actively encouraging dialogue and collaboration.
Language skills in both Swedish and English are necessary to ensure clear and effective communication, which helps us maintain high quality and efficiency in our processes.
Travel between our business locations in Östergötland will occur, which means you need to be flexible and prepared to travel to meet colleagues, partners, and customers in different locations. These travels will be a natural part of your work to ensure that the entire organization works towards the same goal and that collaboration between different business areas runs smoothly. Since we collaborate with both global customers and suppliers, there may be occasions where you need to participate in meetings or visit production facilities and partners abroad. Your ability to navigate an international environment and collaborate across borders will therefore be an important part of the role.
Please note that we work with ongoing selection, and the position may be filled before the application deadline.
The position requires that you undergo and be approved according to current security protection regulations. For positions where Saab has security classification requirements, this may, where applicable, entail requirements for certain citizenship.
