Vacant job

Every year, the Swedish Social Insurance Agency (Försäkringskassan) makes 21 million decisions that impact people's lives and society as a whole. We disburse approximately 260 billion SEK annually. These are taxpayers' money we manage, which is a significant responsibility. Therefore, we think innovatively and utilize the latest technology to simplify, improve, develop, and deliver IT services for the Swedish social insurance system. Welcome to one of Sweden's largest IT departments.

Do you want to help develop the future's information-driven operations in one of Sweden's largest government agencies? We are now looking for an engaged Unit Manager for one of our two Business Intelligence units within IT. Here, you will have the opportunity to combine leadership, operational development, and modern data and analytical capabilities in a socially vital agency.

Leadership, Business Intelligence, Data, and AI

The unit belongs to the Information area within the business area Information, Data, and AI and is responsible for development and maintenance within Business Intelligence. As Unit Manager, you will lead one of two units that together are responsible for the development and maintenance of data warehouses, data products, analytics platforms, and IT services for analysis, statistics, and operational follow-up.

The area also works with metadata and information description to ensure understanding, traceability, and accessibility of data for analysis and statistics production. The assignment involves close collaboration with the business operations, where needs are identified, concretized, and translated into requirements for data, solutions, and technical capabilities.

We work according to DevOps principles where development, maintenance, and operations collaborate closely with a focus on overall responsibility, quality, security, and continuous improvement. Within the area, we are also responsible for implementing and maintaining technical protective measures in accordance with information owners' requirements, as well as for knowledge dissemination and environmental scanning within our areas of responsibility. A key focus going forward is the continued modernization and development of the agency's analytical and information capabilities, where collaboration between business and IT is a central success factor.

The role entails responsibility for delivery, personnel, budget, and working environment. You lead qualified employees in areas such as project management, system development, software architecture, and data engineering, playing a key role in creating conditions for both delivery and long-term competence development. You work closely with other managers, architects, product owners, information owners, and business representatives, actively contributing to collaboration and development across organizational boundaries.

Through close leadership, you create the predictability, security, and sustainability necessary for employees to take responsibility and meet the need for change. You create understanding of context, direction, and the goals set by the department, and develop the plans your operations need. As Unit Manager, you support the Area Manager and are part of the area's leadership group, contributing your competence and engagement. You adapt and exercise your leadership in a way that creates conditions for employees to use their judgment and competence.

The position involves handling confidential information, which places high demands on proper handling. Therefore, it is important that you, who will work with us, have a high level of security awareness.

This is a job for you who want to take responsibility.

We are looking for you who:

• have a university degree or experience and qualifications that can be assessed as equivalent
• are a secure and clear leader with experience leading qualified IT or development operations
