Vacant job

Development and Maintenance Manager: HR

Be the bridge between HR, technology, and operations – and shape the future development of Keolis' digital HR environment.

About the role

As a Development and Maintenance Manager at Keolis, you are a key figure in the IT organization, responsible for the entire IT delivery within the HR and communications area. You ensure that systems, processes, and support functions operate efficiently for the business – while simultaneously driving an active consolidation effort of a broad system landscape.

The role combines operational management of core deliveries with strategic roadmap steering. You work closely with HR leadership, IT leadership, and other maintenance managers, serving as a vital link to the business in a company that is constantly moving forward. Currently, several exciting initiatives are underway: a new intranet and external website, as well as the automation of on- and offboarding processes.

You will be part of a team of nine people and collaborate within a broader network of maintenance managers across the entire IT organization.

Your responsibilities

• Responsible for IT delivery within HR and communications – technology, systems, processes, support, and training.
• Drive the consolidation of a broad system landscape in collaboration with the business.
• Set and implement a strategic roadmap for the area in cooperation with HR leadership.
• Manage vendor governance: contracts, SLA monitoring, operational review meetings, and invoice processing.
• Responsible for incident management according to ITIL processes.
• Participate in and drive strategic, cross-functional initiatives – including a new intranet, LMS, and automated on-/offboarding.
• Identify improvement needs and propose solutions aligned with Keolis' IT strategy.
• Ensure that major changes in architecture and solutions are decided in the appropriate forums.

We are looking for someone who

• Has 5–10 years of professional experience, including some in a similar maintenance or product owner role.
• Has experience as a maintenance manager – you thrive with both strategic work and daily operations.
• Have a good understanding of system integration, data flows, and APIs.
• Understand authentication solutions and SSO.
• Can navigate system architecture and data models at a high level.
• Communicate fluently in Swedish – this is the company's working language.

Experience with HR or communication systems such as Visma, CatalystOne, or Flex is advantageous – but we also welcome candidates with backgrounds from other system domains. A background as an HRBP with a focus on IT and system maintenance is an interesting profile.

Who are you?

You are self-motivated, curious, and enjoy taking ownership in a broad role with many contact points. You take initiative and do not wait to be asked. You are just as comfortable managing vendors and driving strategic discussions as you are digging into details when needed – and you thrive in an environment that is changing.

Why Keolis?

Keolis is responsible for public transport that moves hundreds of thousands of people in Sweden every day. We operate traffic in Dalarna, Skåne, Uppsala, Gothenburg, and Stockholm – and behind every journey lies a complex machinery of systems, processes, and people that must work together.

Here, you have the opportunity to shape how a large, socially vital organization manages its digital HR environment. We are in an exciting position where we are consolidating, modernizing, and setting new strategic directions. There is much to influence and great opportunities to take responsibility and leave your mark.

Location

The role is based at Keolis headquarters on Kungsholmen in Stockholm. We work in a hybrid model and expect you to be on-site several days a week.

Application

You apply by submitting your CV. A cover letter is not required; we believe it is better to get to know each other through conversation. We use work psychological tests in the selection process. The position may be filled before the application deadline.

Note that the position is subject to a background check, which is conducted in the final stage of the recruitment process upon your approval.
