Are you an experienced and forward-thinking business leader? Then we have the opening for you!
At Business Area Rock Processing, we’re now looking for a President for our Division Crushing Solutions. Someone who shares our vision of advancing the world through engineering!
Shortly about us
We’re an industrial frontrunner in crushing equipment for mining and construction applications – creating productivity driven by technology and our solutions are engineered to deliver the highest performance and automation level in mines, quarries and civil engineering projects. We’re on an exciting growth journey, building the new digital era of manufacturing, and we have the know-how and innovative mindset to develop ideas into pioneering tech solutions. Adding your strategic mind, value-based leadership style and entrepreneurial outlook, we’re ready to lead this work and aim even higher to enforce our top position.
About your job
With an evolutionary, customer centric approach, you drive our global business models and take full ownership of our future direction. You ensure growth, efficiency, profitability and innovation – both through organic development and through acquisitions, partnerships and alliances. You set the division strategy, organizational design and operations, and you ensure a culture of high performance with strong commitment to our group strategies. By staying on top of our progress, driving improved cost agility, investing in opportunities and building confidence in decision-making, you protect the value and strengths of Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions. You also follow trends and market shifts to adapt our entire business to the reality we’re facing.
Acting in our decentralized environment, you’re known for your great collaboration skills and the way you form strong networks. As part of a larger organization, you work closely with all relevant parts of Sandvik Group, and you also establish smart and effective ways of interacting with key stakeholders. Other important items on your agenda are empowering our work with diversity and inclusion and making sure we conduct business in a safe and sustainable manner.
You report to the President of Sandvik Rock Processing Solutions and are an active member of our business area management team. The location for this position is at our site in Svedala, a short commute from Malmö. Global travelling is included in your assignment.
Your character
We’re looking for a leader with a strong history of delivering organic growth and value selling in a premium tier setting. You’re a qualified and inspiring mentor with a value-based leadership style. You put development, progress and customer focus first, and you establish a grounded and successful mix of organic growth with acquisitions. With an updated mindset and digital experience from the industrial sector, you’re skilled in transforming traditional businesses into new technology and modern business models.
You have an extensive background within general management, including previous accountability for profit and loss statements in a global setting. Another merit is experience from a listed company environment, and you know how to balance and act on a visionary strategy with the tactical ability of driving execution. Doing business in all corners of the world calls for an open mind and cultural awareness, and advanced communication skills in English.
Collaboration, stakeholder management and true business acumen are your success factors, and you capture opportunities in innovations and new ideas without losing track of our direction. You’re also confident and brave in decision-making and you take the lead in initiating change. Just like us, you trust in the power of teamwork, and you promote an entrepreneurial culture where people engage to increase performance.
