Change Lead - ERP Program, Lund

We are looking for a business-oriented, driven, pragmatic, and adaptive change leader to play a key role in our upcoming ERP transformation. You excel at translating strategic goals and the rationale behind change into tangible change management and business impact plans that enable our organization to successfully adopt new ways of working, processes, systems, and digital platforms. Through strategic communication, strong stakeholder engagement, and the ability to build alignment across the business, you create momentum, inspire confidence, and ensure successful transformation outcomes.

Who is your future team?

Today we are closer to 500 people working within Operations. Based in Lund, we interact with other Axis departments and a worldwide network of customers, distributors, suppliers, manufacturing partners, and our configuration and logistics centers.

Global Operations is the part of Axis' organization that is responsible for the supply and distribution of our products. We are also the link between Axis R&D and our global market, working with industrialization of new products. This includes e.g., Purchasing, Order Handling, Production, Sourcing, Production Preparation, Sales & Operations Planning, Quality & Environment, and Logistics. We define our end-to-end supply chain as "n" tier supplier all the way to our end customers.

In this role, you will be part of the Operations Development organization within Global Operations and play a key role in our ERP transformation. While you are part of Global Operations and Operations Development, your responsibility will be to lead the change management workstream, across the entire Axis organization. Working closely with program management, process leads, subject matter experts (SMEs), communication managers, and our implementation partner, you will ensure the organization is engaged, prepared, and ready to adopt the new ways of working.

As the ERP transformation progresses, the program structure, priorities, and responsibilities will continue to evolve. You are expected to play an active role in shaping the program, embracing change with an adaptive mindset and the flexibility to take on new responsibilities as needed to ensure the success of the transformation.
