Digitalization Department, Section for Strategy, Architecture & Controlling

The Government Offices are in the midst of a comprehensive digital transformation. We are establishing a modern enterprise architecture, implementing generative AI, strengthening information management, and scaling up the use of cloud services. That is why we need more people!

Your workday. Sweden's tomorrow.

The Digitalization Department leads much of this exciting shift. Our mission is unique. Our solutions are used throughout the Government Offices and by over 100 Swedish missions abroad worldwide. What you build has direct impact – both nationally and globally.

We are now building a consolidated enterprise architecture function as a key part of realizing our digitalization strategy. Here, you won't just follow the development – you will help shape it.

About the role

As an Enterprise Architect, you play a key role in building and setting the direction for our architectural capability. You work closely with leadership, business operations, and technology, contributing to the creation of a cohesive and future-proof digital environment.

You drive and develop our target architecture, translating strategy into concrete decisions in projects. A large part of the assignment is to create alignment by balancing business needs with technical challenges. You contribute to making the target architecture a practical management tool. You will also be involved as we build a self-sustaining EA function where results are created through collaboration and shared responsibility.

Here you will get:

• Strategic impact in a socially important operation
• A mission with reach – solutions used nationally and globally
• The opportunity to build from scratch – influence and shape a central capability
• Balance and sustainability – flexible working methods, secure conditions, and sustainable benefits
