Nyköping is growing, and the digitalization of the municipality's operations continues at a rapid pace. To meet the increasing demand for digital welfare services, we are developing a hybrid IT environment where cloud services are combined with deliveries from our own data centers.

We are now looking for an IT Project Manager who thrives at the intersection of technology and business operations and wants to drive projects that deliver real value. Here, you will have the opportunity to influence, develop, and create value through modern IT solutions.

The position is located within the IT Department at the Municipal Executive Office, a central function in the municipality. The IT Department is responsible for support, operations, administration, and development of the IT environment for both Nyköping and Oxelösund municipalities, and has a coordinating responsibility for system administration, e-training, and e-services.
