Vacant job

Are you a driven, change-oriented, and experienced Enterprise Architect who is passionate about creating structures around modern and efficient architecture and ways of working to achieve the best possible business value? Do you thrive in an environment where not all answers exist yet, but where you have the opportunity to influence our ongoing transformation journey?

The Swedish Council for Universities (UHR) is a government agency with a broad mandate within the education sector. Our vision is education, exchange, and development - for everyone who wants to move forward.

For the past few years, UHR has been working on laying the foundations for an architecture framework. Recently, our Director General decided on the architecture policy and guidelines that will apply to the agency, forming the basis for how we work with architecture across the entire organization. Architecture is high on the agenda for the management and the entire leadership group, and we have invested in and begun using a well-established architecture tool.

The role of Enterprise Architect at UHR is strategic with a long-term focus and a clear mandate to establish working methods and further develop the agency's initiated framework. The agency has also decided to establish an EA function, and part of your work will be to get this function up and running.

UHR currently has a small architecture organization where you will become a colleague to a solution architect and an infrastructure architect. You will collaborate with all parts of the organization and also support the business with questions related to business architecture. An important part of the role involves working on architecture issues related to the agency's implementation of AI as support in both operations and our systems.

The position is located within the Department of Digitalization and Service Development, under the Unit for Governance and Coordination.

Department of Digitalization and Service Development

The Department of Digitalization and Service Development is responsible for driving and creating prerequisites for efficient IT development and utilization of digitalization opportunities, from a holistic perspective of the agency.

The department functions largely as a collaboration and support organization, working with all parts of UHR to promote digitalization and development. All employees in the department are expected to possess the ability to collaborate with colleagues at all levels within UHR's operations.

What you will do/be responsible for

As an Enterprise Architect, your main focus will be to

• Ensure functioning architecture governance according to a defined model
• Provide active support in:
  • goal setting
  • prioritization
  • review and follow-up
• Systematically further develop the framework in line with the organization's maturity

Other tasks may also occur.
