Vacant job

Do you thrive on shaping the future of digital ecosystems? At our Business Area Machining, we’re now looking for a Chief Solution Architect who will bridge business needs and technical innovation – driving architectural excellence that powers the next generation of manufacturing solutions.

Your mission

In this position, you play a critical role in defining and owning the enterprise solution architecture vision for our IT transformation. You report to the Head of Digital Product Platform and are part of a global matrix organization.

Every day brings new opportunities to:

• Lead the design of scalable, secure, and reusable solution architectures across a diverse digital product portfolio.
• Set architectural standards and frameworks that guide IT development and integration, ensuring consistency across teams and partners.
• Evaluate and recommend emerging technologies to keep us at the forefront of innovation.
• Partner with business and technical teams to translate needs into robust, future-ready solutions.
• Guide and mentor solution architects, technical leads, and engineers, fostering a culture of excellence and accelerating solution delivery.

This role is based in Sweden, preferably in Sandviken or Stockholm and we offer a hybrid work model. Some international travel is expected.

Your character

You have a strong technical background in areas such as cloud infrastructure, data platforms, AI/ML, and software lifecycle management. You’re used to collaborating with cross-functional teams and stakeholders in product, engineering, and business development. Experience or knowledge of the manufacturing industry, machining, or industrial software solutions is a strong advantage. You communicate clearly and have a strategic ability that helps you navigate complex challenges and drive results. Acting in a global environment calls for excellent English skills, verbally and in writing.

Success in this role comes from being an innovative thinker with a genuine passion for technology. You naturally empower others and thrive in collaborative environments. Adapting quickly to change, balancing multiple priorities, and inspiring stakeholders are second nature. Agility, resilience, and a results-oriented mindset set you apart, along with a real enthusiasm for building the future together with a diverse and forward-thinking team.

Our culture

At Business Area Machining, the team leads the way in digital transformation. Working closely with business leaders, product owners, and IT specialists, everyone’s voice matters. Collaboration is at the heart of what we do—whether it’s building architectural blueprints, mentoring colleagues, or embedding advanced data-driven capabilities into customer-facing solutions. The team’s work directly supports Sandvik’s mission to deliver sustainable, innovative, and high-performing digital products.
