Vacant job

Do you know that feeling when technology actually makes a real difference? When platforms don't just hold systems together but help people create better experiences, make smarter decisions, and build the products of the future? That is where this role comes in.

Here, you will set the direction for one of Svenska Spel's most important enablers moving forward: our platform. You will play a key role in our transformation journey where modernization, AI, data-driven approaches, and scalable tech capabilities are crucial for us to continue creating joyful gaming with care and giving back to society.

We are looking for someone who likes to think big, create clarity in complexity, and get people from different parts of the organization to pull in the same direction. Here you will combine strategy, technology, and business in a role where you build long-term prerequisites for innovation, development, and truly great user experiences.

What will you do?

As Chief Platform Owner, you are responsible for the vision, strategy, and direction of Svenska Spel's platform. Our platform consists of several shared capabilities and tools within areas such as GitHub, Google Cloud Platform (GCP), Backstage, AI, data, and developer experience.

You will drive the platform according to platform as a product principles where user experience, self-service, adoption, and developer productivity are at the center. The role is as much about people and change management as it is about technology.

You will among other things:

• Set strategic direction and roadmap for our platform
• Ensure high security, robustness, and availability in business-critical environments
• Create the right prerequisites for AI, data, and modern developer experiences
• Work closely with architects, product owners, and development teams to drive long-term technical capabilities
• Create understanding, engagement, and alignment regarding the platform's value in the organization
• Communicate complex technology in a clear and inspiring way
• Track adoption, stability, and business value through relevant KPIs

You will become an important bridge between technology and business, with a focus on creating the right prerequisites for the entire organization to develop quickly, securely, and sustainably.

Are you the one who will make it happen?

We believe you are strategic, communicative, and thrive in complex environments where you get to combine technology, business, and people. You are good at creating direction, building engagement, and getting different parts of the organization to pull in the same direction.

To succeed in the role, we believe you have:

• Experience with platforms, product development, or technical ecosystems
• Strategic work with vision, roadmap, and long-term technical direction
• Good understanding of cloud, DevOps, system architecture, and modern platforms
• Experience with e.g., GitHub, GCP, Kubernetes, Backstage, or similar
• Understanding of security, scalability, and high availability in business-critical environments
• Ability to create business value through AI, data, and automation
• Strong communication skills and experience driving collaboration and change across multiple teams and areas

It is an advantage if you have experience with platform as a product and platform engineering.
