Global outdoor power equipment manufacturer scaling production and sales infrastructure
Husqvarna Group is a 330+ year-old manufacturer of outdoor power products (robotic mowers, chainsaws, trimmers, irrigation systems) operating at scale across 40 countries with 12,300 employees. Current hiring velocity is accelerating — 102 roles posted in the last 30 days, weighted toward sales (45 open), engineering (35), and support (28) — alongside active projects in sales process standardization, global category strategy, and new product development. The stack reveals a traditional ERP footprint (SAP S/4HANA, SAP ECC, SAP FI) being modernized with Workday adoption, while pain points around siloed business-IT alignment and CRM process harmonization suggest infrastructure consolidation work ahead.
Notable leadership hires: Payroll Team Lead, Quality Director, Head of Marketing
