About the role Do you want to apply your data skills to real business challenges and help shape more sustainable purchasing decisions? Join Volvo Buses Global Bus Purchasing as a VIE Data and Sustainability Analyst. You will turn purchasing and sustainability data into reliable reporting, clear insights and practical digital solutions, working closely with Sustainability, Business Development, purchasing teams and data specialists to support recurring reporting and drive improvements in data quality, automation and business intelligence. What you will do You make purchasing and sustainability data more reliable, accessible and useful for decision-making. You collect, clean, validate and consolidate data from purchasing systems and other sources, and support quarterly carbon-footprint reporting, including data preparation for Scope 3.1 purchased goods and services. You prepare and refresh monthly sustainability dashboards and KPI reports, and help monitor supplier sustainability indicators such as SAQ, MDS and ISO 14001. When figures look unexpected, you investigate and work with data owners to explain the discrepancies, documenting sources, assumptions and validation checks along the way. You also develop and improve Power BI dashboards, translate business questions into clear analytical requirements, and analyze purchasing, supplier and sustainability data to spot trends and improvement opportunities. You support purchasing analytics projects such as price comparisons and supplier-performance reporting, help colleagues apply the insights in their daily work, and contribute to harmonizing KPI definitions and automating reporting workflows. You collaborate closely with business stakeholders, data owners, the Purchasing Support Centre and Digital & IT specialists, clarifying requirements and raising blockers early. Who are you You hold a university degree in Data Analytics, Data Science, Computer Science, Engineering, Business Analytics or a related field, with practical experience from an internship, apprenticeship, academic project or first professional role.

You take ownership of your deliverables while knowing when to ask for support, and you communicate clearly with technical and business colleagues alike. Curious and structured, you are comfortable in an international environment and look for practical improvements rather than unnecessary complexity. What's in it for you • Hands-on experience combining data analytics with sustainability and purchasing. • Exposure to international stakeholders and real business challenges. • Opportunities to grow your Power BI, automation and data-management skills. • Support from colleagues across Sustainability, Business Development and the wider data community, with the chance to deliver visible improvements in reporting quality and efficiency.
