IT Coordinator at the Equality Authority

The goal of gender equality work in Sweden is for women and men to have the same power and opportunities to shape society and their own lives. The work includes issues related to influence, economy, health, education, work, and bodily integrity.

The Equality Authority shall ensure that the government's gender equality policy is implemented effectively by contributing to its execution. The agency's task is to coordinate, monitor, and provide support in various areas of gender equality. The Equality Authority is an LGBTQI strategic agency, which means that the agency shall promote the equal rights and opportunities of LGBTQI individuals in its operations.

Within the department for operational support, we are responsible for all processes of an administrative and operational nature. This includes, among other things, registration, archives, legal matters, procurement, IT, finance, operational follow-up, HR, state grants, and other administrative processes. The department is currently divided into four units: the Legal Unit, the Finance Unit, the HR Unit, and the State Grants Unit. The Equality Authority has an external IT service provider. We work in a fully cloud-based Microsoft 365 environment.

The Equality Authority will undergo an agency-wide reorganization in 2026. This means you will be part of a development phase where structures, working methods, and collaborations are still being formed. The role therefore requires you to be flexible, solution-oriented, and comfortable working in an environment where not all conditions are established from the start.
