Modular Management Sweden
Background
Do you want to transform the industry? Modular Management is a consulting firm that works with international companies to create and deploy market-driven product platforms, built on modular principles. In this role you will work with some of the greatest companies in the world, in industries as varied as home appliances, robotics, telecom, and construction.
What You Will Do
You will be a part of a team delivering cross-functional programs at major industrial/product companies that range from a few months to several years. Together with your colleagues you will support the customers’ transformation journey based on Modular Management’s leading insight in how modularization, configuration, and composable product platforms are fundamental for improved business profitability.
The areas of work could include areas such as modularization, supply chain management, mechanical electronics or software design, and product configuration.
Typical tasks:
- Lead, support and document customer workshops
- Gather and analyse relevant information from different stakeholders at customer.

What We Offer
If you enjoy working with top colleagues in a global setting, we can offer great development opportunities. The position is based at our head office in central Stockholm, but to a great extent the job can be performed remotely with the flexibility to manage your own time. Travelling to clients occurs on a regular basis.
In a smaller, niche consultancy you will get to learn all parts of the business. We all work as consultants in a non-hierarchical organization, where even the most experienced consultants share similar tasks with new employees.

We see that several areas of experience may be relevant for the position: You can work in business development/product development/production development within a major industry/product company. You can also be a management consultant today and work towards technology/manufacturing companies where you may be attracted to the modularization and configuration concept and Modular Management's corporate culture. Another possible background is that you work at a technology consultancy, want a strategic role in the projects, and to see the entire value chain.
Specifically, we see that you have:
- University degree in Engineering in a relevant field such as: Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or another similar program.
- 2-5 years of work experience
- Fluency in English, both verbally and in writing
