Vacant job

At Avaron, you get the security of a permanent position combined with the variety of working on-site at different clients. We recruit specialists in everything from technology, IT, and industry to project management and business support – and regardless of the assignment, you have a consulting manager who is there for you and your development.

You will step into a strategic role at a Swedish authority with a socially important mission regarding preparedness and continuity. Here, you will analyze how the IT department's governance, working methods, and delivery capability meet the organization's needs and the regulatory requirements placed on a preparedness authority.

You work at the intersection of operations, IT, information security, and governance, where you need to create alignment between specialists, responsible parties, and management. This role suits you if you thrive with complex issues, can switch between details and the big picture, and want to contribute to an assignment where the results have direct significance for robustness and future capability.

This is an exciting opportunity for you who want to influence IT governance at a strategic level in an environment where the requirements are high and the public benefit is clear.

• You interview operational managers, specialists, and other key personnel to capture needs and the current state.
• You facilitate workshops for needs analysis, prioritization, and anchoring.
• You produce a GAP report, a prioritized action plan, and presentations for various stakeholder groups and management.
• You inform and, if necessary, train employees in relevant requirement areas.

• At least three (3) years of documented work experience in conducting GAP analyses of public sector operations similar in size to the client's operations.

• Fluent Swedish in speech and writing.
• Good knowledge of English, both oral and written.
• The work experience you cite must be relevant and acquired within the last ten (10) years.
• Ability to undergo and pass a security clearance check (requires Swedish citizenship, dual citizenship is not accepted).

• You have documented experience in practically evaluating or implementing MCF requirements in a government authority or other public sector operation.
