Do you want to be part of the Swedish Tax Agency's journey and contribute to the digital transformation?

We are strengthening the architecture area and are looking for an enterprise architect (EA) who has previous experience from complex IT landscapes.

As an EA, you have a holistic view regarding the impact at different layers to fulfill the authority's mission. Join us in making society possible!

About the job

As an EA with a focus on business and information architecture, and as part of the Swedish Tax Agency's architectural governance, you are a key person in the work towards the target architecture and the transition the agency is making towards an information-driven and digitized operation. You support the agency's development within the domain of personal taxation and contribute to meeting today's and future's demands. You work together with other EAs within and around the domain. The role also includes supporting and possibly driving individual development initiatives.

The Swedish Tax Agency uses SAFe as an agile framework. You collaborate with system architects and development teams to get their input to understand their operations and contribute to their ability to apply and realize target and conceptual architecture. The work involves a lot of communication with different teams. You also support various management functions in goal and strategy work.

We expect you to have experience in, and be comfortable with, describing the benefits of architecture and promoting its contributions and solutions in a clear and pedagogical way that the recipient understands.

Your tasks as EA

As an EA, you are responsible for planning and coordinating architectural work and driving the work forward together with others. We expect you to be strategically forward-looking and have experience supporting the business with architecture in vision and goal work. You have experience leading workshops and producing documentation of architectural concepts based on business capabilities. You can provide recommendations that create value so that visions and goals can be realized.

You belong to the Development Unit within the Personal Taxation Department in Sundbyberg. The department operates in several locations and the unit has about 30 employees. You are part of the EA team, which currently consists of 3 members in business/information and IT architecture.
