Job description

Shape the future of connected mobility through people, technology and customer impact.

Join our Assistance Services team as an Engineering Manager, where you’ll combine people leadership, customer partnership and engineering excellence to create real value for our customers.

About WirelessCar

Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Sweden, we have a strong global presence with offices in the U.S., China, Germany, India, and Japan, offering a truly global workplace with exciting opportunities for career growth.

Owned by Volkswagen Group, today we connect over 17 million vehicles across 100+ countries and partner with leading OEMs, including Volvo, Jaguar Land Rover, Volkswagen Group, Nissan, and Subaru.

About the Role

This is a leadership role combining four key dimensions:

• Customer partnership – building trusted customer relationships and ensuring successful delivery.
• Delivery leadership – driving execution and delivering business value.
• Customer domain ownership – owning engineering direction, priorities and outcomes for a customer domain.
• People leadership – developing engineers and building a strong engineering culture.

You will lead a line organization of software engineers while owning engineering delivery for one or more customer domains. Since our engineering organization is capability-based, your direct reports may contribute across different customer domains and delivery teams.

Your Impact

As Engineering Manager, you will combine people leadership with customer-focused engineering ownership. You will:

• Lead, coach and support your team, fostering engagement, performance, wellbeing and long-term capability.
• Own engineering delivery for your customer domain(s), balancing delivery commitments, business priorities and customer expectations.
• Build trusted customer relationships through transparent communication, proactive planning and reliable execution.
• Drive engineering excellence by balancing quality, delivery speed, operational stability and business value.
• Coordinate priorities, dependencies and capacity across teams and stakeholders in a global organization.
• Continuously improve engineering practices and ways of working, together with our agile coaches.
• Contribute to cross-functional leadership initiatives and help shape the overall engineering organization.

What We're Looking For

We believe you are an experienced engineering leader who combines strong people leadership with customer focus, delivery and operational excellence.

You’ll bring

• Experience leading software engineering teams in an agile product or services organization.
• A strong customer mindset and the ability to build long-term relationships with internal and external stakeholders.
• Experience owning engineering delivery and balancing scope, quality, timelines and business outcomes.
• The ability to lead in a matrix organization where people management and delivery ownership are not always aligned.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills in an international environment.
• A coaching leadership style with a passion for developing people and building high-performing teams.

It would be a plus if you have

• Experience with organizational transformation and improving engineering practices and ways of working.
• Experience recruiting, onboarding and retaining engineering talent.
