Portfolio Manager

Coretura • Gothenburg, NE

15d • Onsite

About The Position

Coretura is a joint venture between Volvo Group and Daimler Truck building software for commercial vehicles. The Portfolio Manager owns the portfolio for a software-defined vehicle (SDV) platform and helps determine what gets built first and why. Working closely with senior leadership and the Product Managers responsible for individual domains, the role keeps product development aligned with business goals and anchors portfolio prioritization decisions.

The role balances short-term delivery with long-term investment, monitors alignment with agreed priorities, and identifies risks and dependencies across projects early enough to inform decisions. It also leads a cross-functional review of how work is received, prioritized, followed up, and reported, with the goal of establishing a documented process used across developments and improved after each portfolio review.

The Portfolio Manager coaches Product Managers in developing and maintaining strong product concepts and brings in methods and ideas from universities, consultancies, and other partners. Coretura is still shaping its structures, so the person in this role will help design the portfolio process and work in an office-based team environment.
