Then the position of Deputy Material Area Manager (Deputy MOA) with us might be something for you!

FMTIS Technical and Maintenance Office Command Systems (TVK Ledsyst) in Enköping and Stockholm consists of approximately 190 employees across seven departments.

Main Responsibilities

The command support systems are divided into material areas (MO), where sensors are one of them.

This responsibility also includes ensuring technical capability beyond current technical systems and coordinating the procurement of new/lifetime-extended systems with the management of existing systems.

Your tasks include ordering and budgeting development, procurement, and management assignments towards the Swedish Defence Materiel Administration (FMV) with the support of the sensor area's MO team.

You lead and participate in meetings with FMV and the industry, as well as with the Defence Staff, branches of the armed forces, FMTIS, other authorities, and relevant ministries. You regularly collaborate with the War Unit Manager to plan and ensure the war organization's need for well-functioning systems and material supply at all conflict levels, both in the short and long term. Directions for development, procurement, and trade-offs are provided to you by the Defence Staff's Cyber Unit.

You are part of TVK Ledsyst and belong to the Market Systems Department's Sensor Section together with the Section Manager and other staff.

As a Deputy MOA, you will:

• Annually conduct defense planning and budgeting for the entire material area
