The role is closely linked to security, IT security, and the Swedish Tax Agency's mission as a preparedness authority. The area of continuity is central to our preparedness capability, and trust in our systems is the foundation for being able to deliver continuously under difficult circumstances. In this role, you will review our capabilities and ensure that we follow guidelines while driving technical requirements to achieve the continuity goals within IT that the Swedish Tax Agency has in its mission to society. You have a broad competence in various technologies, can communicate, analyze, and find answers to difficult questions while also looking ahead to high continuity requirements. You will lead tests and analyze results based on the requirements set to guide the development of systems towards a resilient solution that meets tomorrow's threats.

If you enjoy working both independently and as part of a driven core team that further develops our own capabilities and methodologies, you will thrive with us!
