Are you ready for a bigger challenge? We are looking for a driven individual who wants to make a real difference. With us, you will develop alongside engaged and friendly colleagues, gaining lifelong experiences while your work contributes to increasing safety and reducing crime in Sweden.

Workplace Description

The main task of the IT department is to provide IT services to the entire Police Authority and is an important part of crime prevention and law enforcement efforts. IT is one of the most important tools for streamlining police work and improving the quality of police operations. Therefore, the authority invests heavily in strengthening the department with new specialist expertise and the latest technology for the benefit of citizens and employees in the police operations.

Operations and infrastructure also coordinate the deployment of the Police Authority's IT systems, release management, and are responsible for preparedness and continuity planning, IT incidents, IT problems, and changes. They are also responsible for information and IT security, signal protection, and investigations when system and security monitoring detects security incidents or vulnerabilities. Operations and infrastructure should also support development and management, ensuring that security tests, audits, and follow-ups of IT security are conducted.

Job Description

The role of project leader can be likened to that of a project manager where you will be involved in driving the development of capabilities at the technical forefront, which may be new to the authority. You will lead the team by setting long-term and short-term goals, monitoring progress, and continuously working closely with the operations to quickly change direction if priorities shift. The capabilities we deliver will evolve over time, and your responsibility is to lead that work, from start to finish, while also driving the long-term efforts to maintain and refine our offerings.

As a project leader, you will closely collaborate with other groups within the IT department as well as from other departments within the authority to gather the expertise needed to achieve set goals.

It is advantageous if you also have:

• Experience with agile work
• Experience in creating and maintaining good customer relationships

• Experience working with IT security

Personal Qualities

We are looking for someone with the ability and willingness to create engagement and drive assignments forward.
