We ensure that urban planning takes into account many values: business and culture, traffic and the environment. Now and in the future. Together we develop an attractive, exciting, and sustainable city. Do you want to improve the everyday life, future, and quality of life for the residents of Linköping? With us, you can combine important tasks with a meaningful everyday life. Welcome to us!

Your Responsibilities

Do you want to help lead Linköping Municipality's transition towards a faster, smarter, and more citizen-focused community building process? We are looking for someone who can transform strategic goals into concrete improvements by driving our work with new digital solutions!

As a project manager, your main task will be to lead and implement central development initiatives to establish a flexible and automated working method within the Environmental and Community Building Administration (MoS). You will drive the implementation of new data-driven and service-oriented system solutions, focusing on building:

• Operational Governance and Ownership: Shift focus from supplier-driven functionality to building internal capabilities to identify opportunities for continuous development and automation of our processes.
• Increased Flexibility and Scalability: We build modular services that meet the unique requirements of the process and allow us to replace parts gradually in the future. This means we get a platform rather than a locked final product.
• Automation and Efficiency: Lead projects that enable the automation of tasks, freeing up time to provide enhanced citizen services where they are truly needed.
• Better Service and Follow-Up: Work to create a cohesive and uninterrupted community building process with residents and entrepreneurs in focus, where they can easily and quickly get help and track their case.

Your Workplace

You will be part of the development organization within the Environmental and Community Building Administration. We are tasked with coordinating, supporting, and leading the administration's development work.

The development work carried out is primarily not about technology, but about changing the foundations of how things are done within our organization – a cultural shift. We support each other in a team effort and utilize each other's expertise.

The position is located in our beautiful premises in Ebbepark.
