Svensk Exportkredit strengthens its focus on Data Governance and is looking for someone who wants to translate governance into structure

SEK has laid a clear foundation for its work with Data Governance. Frameworks, information areas, and ownership are established, and the area is prioritized by both management and the board. We are now looking for someone who wants to be part of the next step and ensure that the work truly makes an impact in everyday life. In the role of Data Governance Specialist, you will have the opportunity to work both analytically and operationally with data quality, metadata, and information flows. You will combine structure and collaboration, detail focus and holistic perspective, and can clearly see the effect of your work.

We offer you

Our CIO organization consists of 120 employees, and together we have the opportunity to think big and be truly innovative – here the decision-making paths are short, and every employee is a significant part of the whole. At SEK, you step into an organization that takes its data work seriously and sees data as a central asset in the business. We offer you:

• A role where you work hands-on with quality and structure, with clear mandate and strategic anchoring
• Close collaboration with the Data Governance Manager and Information Architect within the CIO organization
• An environment with short decision-making paths, high competence, and great engagement in the area

This is what you will do with us

As a Data Governance Specialist, you will work closely with both data and the business and help make data governance work effectively. The role operates in a federated model, which means you are a supportive specialist who strengthens the information areas' ability to manage data rather than centralizing ownership. Since the area is still developing, you will also be involved in shaping how the work will be conducted moving forward. You will move between structure, analysis, and dialogue, which means that you will, among other things:

• Profile and analyze data quality in designated systems and information flows, identify areas for improvement, and monitor quality over time
• In close dialogue with the business, formulate and implement quality-enhancing measures
• Contribute to building and further developing SEK's metadata capability and future data catalog
• Support architects in mapping and documenting data flows to create transparency and increased understanding of how data is used and moves within the organization

An important part of the mission is to contribute to increased understanding of the value of data governance in the organization. Through your way of working – structured, pedagogical, and business-oriented – you help build both knowledge and maturity over time.

Your team and workplace

You will belong to the CIO organization with contact points that span across SEK in both leading, strategic, and operational roles. We have an established Data Council and information owners who meet regularly, and you will collaborate closely with the Data Governance Manager and Information Architect. The role belongs to the IT Governance team along with our central architecture capability, providing a natural proximity to architecture issues and a good insight into how data, systems, and structure are interconnected within the organization.

Our office is located at Fleminggatan 20 in Stockholm, and we work with a flexible approach and remote work up to two days a week when it suits the tasks and the team's deliveries.

More about you

We are looking for someone with several years of experience in operational work with data, perhaps as a data steward, data specialist, Data Engineer, system administrator, or data analyst with a focus on data quality. You have likely worked practically with data quality rules, profiling, and metadata, and have experience in translating frameworks and guidelines into effective working methods in the business. You have a technical understanding that allows you to create and apply controls to ensure data quality together with technical and business-oriented functions.

You have a good understanding of how information flows are interconnected and feel comfortable in the dialogue between technology and business. You are comfortable with both Swedish and English as working languages.

To thrive in the role, we believe the most important thing is that you have a genuine interest in data and information structure. You are analytical and structured but also unpretentious in collaborations. You are motivated by contributing to clarity and quality and appreciate working in an environment where data is seen as an important enabler for the business.
