The posting

Alfa Laval´s Portfolio Unit Electrolyzer & Fuel Cell Technologies is looking for a Head of Operations

Every day, we get opportunities to make a positive impact – on our colleagues, partners, customers and society. Together, we’re pioneering the solutions of the future and unlocking the full potential of precious resources. Trusted to act on initiative, we challenge conventional thinking to develop world-leading technologies that inspire progress in vital areas, including energy, food, water and shipping. As we push forward, the innovative, open spirit that fuels our 140-year-old start-up culture and rapid growth also drives our personal growth. So, as we shape a more resourceful, less wasteful world, we build our careers too.

Background

The Energy Division is transforming towards clean technologies, creating new business opportunities, and a need to strengthen our team. Alfa Laval is active across the hydrogen value chain, where our heat transfer technologies and deep know-how are core components. Our proprietary technologies and heat transfer expertise, combined with global manufacturing capabilities, are essential to accelerating the hydrogen economy and enabling affordable, efficient solutions at an industrial scale.

Together with our customers, we are increasing our focus on innovative electrolyzer and fuel cell technologies. The Portfolio Unit Electrolyzer & Fuel Cell Technologies is part of the Energy Division and works to advance solutions for producing green hydrogen and delivering clean power from fuel cells. By supporting customers as they develop and scale hydrogen projects, the unit contributes to the energy transition.

About the role

As Head of Operations for the Portfolio Unit Electrolyzer & Fuel Cell Technologies, you will develop, lead and optimize the unit’s operational performance while driving the industrialization and rollout of new products. You will ensure the seamless integration of products and processes—from concept through to full-scale production. In doing so, you will balance the needs of mature operations with the agility required to introduce new products and concepts. Your leadership will help build the operational capabilities needed to support the unit’s growth and deliver effective solutions for customers developing and scaling hydrogen projects.

Key responsibilities for this role entail:

  • Build a future-ready operational setup, leveraging Group capabilities and innovative manufacturing.
  • Lead new products from development through industrialization, launch, and handover to serial production.
  • Advance process innovation, digitalization, and automation.
  • Implement best practices and lead change initiatives, fostering innovation, learning and adaptability.
  • Establish scalable processes that meet manufacturability, quality, and cost targets.
  • Lead day-to-day manufacturing, supply chain and logistics for existing and new products
  • Lead change management initiatives to ensure smooth adoption of new processes, technologies, and ways of working.
  • Drive operational excellence, cost efficiency, and compliance with safety, quality, and regulatory standards.
  • Develop and motivate teams by fostering accountability and continuous improvement.
  • Partner with R&D, Product Management, Sales and other functions to deliver business objectives.
  • Ensure operational readiness for product launches, including pilot production and ramp-up.
  • Track and report KPIs for industrialization and operational performance.

This position will be based in Lund, Sweden and will report to the BU President of Portfolio Unit Electrolyzer & Fuel Cell Technologies.

  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
