Would you like to be part of a leadership team that is passionate about developing people and work methods—where everyone contributes and where we see our differences as a strength? At our company, we believe that diversity is the key to success.

To succeed in this role, we’re looking for a hands-on, coaching-style leader with a strong drive to develop both individuals and the business in a structured and long-term way.

Becoming part of the SSAB family means joining us on a journey. A journey that we believe is crucial for the planet’s future and sustainability. Steel has been one of the most important materials for the development of our society and will continue to be so in the future—in our homes, in the bridges that connect our cities, and in the cars of tomorrow. At SSAB, we’re proud of our history and our leadership in high-strength steel. At the same time, we’re aware that steel production is one of the industries that emits the most greenhouse gases in the world. That has to change. We have therefore developed the world’s first fossil-free steel production process and are committed to becoming largely fossil-free. As part of SSAB, you will play a key role in achieving this goal and thereby contribute to the green transition of the entire steel industry.
