Arbetsbeskrivning

Do you enjoy leading through inspiration while helping people and organizations grow in a fast-changing environment? Here, you play a strategic and hands-on role to go beyond traditional learning programs—focusing on how skills are built, applied, and developed in the flow of work

Why Sandvik?

You are a part of a purpose-driven organization where learning, transformation, and collaboration are at the core of everything we do. By joining us, you also get to:

• Shape how skills and learning enable business success
• Work in a collaborative, forward-thinking environment
• Be part of a culture that values curiosity, inclusion, and continuous development

About the job

You will lead the development of modern skills and learning strategies, connecting skills, performance, and business priorities. You will ensure we build the right capabilities for today and tomorrow—moving from course-based learning to a skills-based, continuous development approach. You will collaborate and support one Learning technology Lead, and one Learning Product Lead but also be expected to drive a collaboration forum with learning teams in our business areas and divisions.

Job responsibilities

• Define and lead global skills and learning strategy aligned with business priorities
• Leverage AI to identify skill gaps, emerging capabilities and improve workforce development
• Ensure strong integration between skills, learning, performance and talent processes
• Define how learning impact is measured, focusing on capability, performance and business outcomes
• Use data and insights to continuously improve learning and skills investments
• As a team lead, support and develop a small, senior expert team
• Drive collaboration across Sandvik and utilize our great people working with learning in Business Areas and divisions

Location and flexibility

The location is preferably Stockholm or Sandviken but can be flexible for the right candidate

Your profile

With a strong interest in people development and organizational transformation, you combine leadership experience with a structured and curious mindset. You understand how to translate strategy into impactful learning initiatives and enjoy working closely with stakeholders.

Your background also includes:

• Experience working with skills frameworks or driving skills-based transformation
• Strong data-driven mindset and understanding of how AI is shaping skills, learning and workforce development
• Strong collaboration and influencing skills across HR and business leaders
• Leadership experience with ability to guide and develop expert teams, but not necessarily managerial experience.
• Experience of working in a decentralized structure with Learning
• Relevant university degree

You lead through inspiration rather than direction, creating engagement and ownership in your team. Curiosity drives your approach, and you actively involve others with an open mindset. You focus on simplifying complexity, identifying what truly adds value, and enabling others to act.

Strong communication skills and a collaborative way of working help you build trust and momentum across stakeholders.
