Assignment description Volvo Buses is looking for an experienced business consultant to take ongoing business ownership of Identity and Access Management (IAM) within the Buses organization. The role will align with the ongoing Volvo Group project implementing a new IAM platform and routines, with a focus on taking over and maintaining the initiative's deliveries and embedding them in day-to-day business operations. The consultant will maintain IAM business processes, routines, and ownership structures, coordinate day-to-day operational IAM activities, and identify needs for further development or business change. A separate CPM manages the concrete business actions required by the implementation project; this role focuses on continuity, operational follow-up, and sustainable use of the delivered capabilities rather than managing those project actions. Working with business stakeholders, Product Managers, cybersecurity, enterprise architecture, the Volvo Group IAM initiative, the CPM, and the IT supplier, the consultant will support handover into ongoing ownership, follow up operational issues, and clarify and prioritize improvement needs. The role will ensure that business routines remain aligned with group-wide IAM ways of working and coordinate required changes with the relevant owners. Technical maintenance and implementation remain with the IT supplier. Key responsibilities The consultant will take ongoing business ownership of IAM within Volvo Buses, maintaining the deliveries from the Volvo Group IAM initiative and embedding them in day-to-day operations. The role focuses on business routines, operational coordination, and continuous improvement, working alongside the CPM responsible for concrete implementation-project actions and the IT supplier responsible for technical maintenance and implementation. * Support handover of the new IAM platform and routines into ongoing business ownership, maintaining business processes, documentation, and clear responsibilities in alignment with Volvo Group ways of working. * Coordinate day-to-day operational IAM activities from a business perspective and follow up issues with the relevant business owners and IT supplier. * Identify, clarify, and prioritize needs for IAM development or business change with business stakeholders and Product Managers, and coordinate required changes with the relevant owners. General * Maintain alignment with the Volvo Group IAM initiative, cybersecurity, enterprise architecture, and the CPM, without taking over the CPM's management of concrete business actions within the implementation project. * Support adoption and sustainable use of delivered IAM capabilities through stakeholder coordination, communication, and operational follow-up, with technical maintenance and implementation handled by the IT supplier. Competence profile We are looking for a business consultant with experience taking project deliveries into ongoing business ownership, maintaining processes and routines, and coordinating day-to-day operational activities. The consultant should understand IAM from a business and governance perspective and be able to embed new capabilities in daily operations, maintain clear ownership structures, and identify, clarify, and prioritize development and business-change needs. Strong stakeholder-management, analytical, communication, and supplier-coordination skills are essential, together with experience supporting handover, adoption, and continuous improvement across organizational boundaries. The consultant should be comfortable collaborating with business stakeholders, Product Managers, cybersecurity, enterprise architecture, group-wide initiatives, and IT suppliers. The focus is on business continuity and operational follow-up, working alongside the CPM managing implementation-project actions and the IT supplier providing technical maintenance and implementation. * Ability to work independently, maintain structured routines and documentation, follow up operational issues, and coordinate improvements with the relevant owners. * Excellent written and spoken English. Meriting competence The following experience would be advantageous: * Experience working with IAM frameworks or platforms from a business perspective, particularly operational routines, handover from projects, or continuous improvement in identity governance, access management, or privileged access. * Familiarity with cybersecurity and control frameworks, such as ISO/IEC 27001, NIST Cybersecurity Framework, or CIS Controls, and their implications for business processes and governance.

General * Experience coordinating business input, documentation, and remediation activities for audits, regulatory compliance, or cybersecurity assurance.
