Responsibilities

In the role of Network Specialist, you have overall responsibility for the network infrastructure, both strategically and operationally. You work closely with other parts of the IT organization and drive the development of network services in line with business needs.

You combine technical leadership with hands-on work and serve as a central point of contact for complex issues. The role also involves ensuring that the network environment is secure, documented, and adheres to set standards.

At the same time, you lead the planning and prioritization of the team's work and ensure that incidents, problems, and changes are handled in a structured manner. In parallel, you work on long-term development, capacity planning, and cost efficiency.

Examples of responsibilities include:

• Responsibility for the design, architecture, and lifecycle management of the network infrastructure.
• Act as a technical expert and handle complex incidents.

• Collaborate with internal teams and external vendors to deliver solutions.

• Experience in architecture and design of network solutions.
• Network certifications (e.g., CCNP/CCIE, Aruba Certified, Fortinet NSE).
• Experience in network security.
• Good proficiency in Swedish and English, both spoken and written.

To thrive in this role, we see that you take clear ownership and have the ability to drive work forward, both strategically and operationally.
