About the role

Based at Axis headquarters in Lund, you will join the Cross Functional Projects & Systems team within Operations Development. The team leads strategic transformation initiatives, manages the Operations project portfolio, and drives business system development across the organization.

As a Project Manager, you will initially lead a key Supply Planning transformation program, helping shape future capabilities that support Axis' continued growth. Working closely with Operations, IT, and external partners, you will drive the initiative from strategy and design through implementation and business adoption. Beyond this program, you will lead cross-functional transformation projects across Axis, influencing strategic decisions, improving ways of working, and delivering sustainable business value across the organization.

• A secure employment with attractive benefits, including flexible working hours, company bonus, insurance coverage, daily breakfast, relocation support if needed, your own Axis bicycle, and more

This role focuses on leading a large-scale supply planning transformation, ensuring that new processes and systems are successfully integrated into the global organization to meet strategic deadlines. The role will include, among other things, the following responsibilities:

• Lead the strategic Supply Planning transformation initiative, driving the project from business requirements and solution design through implementation, deployment, and adoption, while supporting the broader transformation roadmap
• Define scope, establish governance structures, and create clarity in complex cross-functional initiatives
• Drive change management, organizational readiness, and the successful adoption of new capabilities and ways of working
• Lead complex cross-functional transformation and improvement initiatives across Axis, translating business challenges into scalable and sustainable solutions
• Facilitate workshops and decision forums, aligning business stakeholders, IT, and external partners around common goals
• Contribute to the development of Axis' transformation capabilities, project portfolio management practices, and the continued growth of the team
• Collaborate closely with business stakeholders, IT, and external partners to ensure alignment across processes, systems, and organizational goals

We are looking for

• A relevant university degree and several years of experience leading complex Supply Chain, Operations, or Business Transformation initiatives
• Proven experience leading Supply Planning, Planning Transformation, or Integrated Planning initiatives from concept through implementation and adoption
• Strong knowledge of Supply Planning and end-to-end supply chain processes, including planning-related disciplines such as S&OP/S&OE
• Experience working with business technology, including end-to-end system capabilities and complex system implementations from a business perspective
• Experience working with planning systems and business transformation, bridging business needs, processes, and technology
• A track record of leading cross-functional teams and managing senior stakeholders in complex environments
• Strong communication, stakeholder management, and change management skills, with the ability to drive adoption and deliver business value

It is meritorious if you have

• Hands-on experience driving business value through Supply Chain Planning platforms (e.g., Kinaxis, o9, Blue Yonder, or similar)
