Vacant job

At the Swedish Migration Agency, we work with one of today's major societal challenges – migration. We are a team of approximately 6,000 people, and we have an unusually important job!

Every day, decisions are made that affect people's lives. Behind these decisions are operations, technology, and people who need to work together.

Digital development is a crucial part of our societal mandate at the Swedish Migration Agency. Our IT solutions need to be secure and stable, while simultaneously being able to evolve alongside the changing needs of our operations. Success requires individuals who can see the big picture, build consensus, and translate complex needs into actionable development.

We are now looking for a Development Manager who wants to take a key role in this development.

Here, you will become a strategic force in the meeting point between operations and IT. You will contribute to ensuring that the right initiatives are implemented, at the right time, and for the right reasons. By fostering dialogue, building relationships, and supporting prioritization, you will help both the operations and our product teams make well-founded decisions that create long-term value.

Here you will have the opportunity to work in an organization where development issues are complex, socially significant, and make a difference – every day.

• a good understanding of agile ways of working, product management, and prioritization
• experience in translating business needs into decision support and development initiatives
• excellent proficiency in Swedish, both verbal and written.

It is an advantage if you have experience from the public sector or other politically governed operations, as well as knowledge of regulations such as GDPR, the Public Procurement Act (LOU), and the Act on Electronic Signatures (DOS-lagen).

Personal qualities

We are looking for someone who builds trust by listening, creating structure, and finding ways forward even when different perspectives need to be weighed together.

You have a strategic approach and thrive on building consensus among different stakeholders. At the same time, you are analytical and have the ability to translate complex issues into concrete and actionable solutions.

To succeed in this role, we believe you are:

• communicative and skilled at creating good collaborations
• structured and accustomed to handling many parallel initiatives
• analytical with a good ability to weigh business benefits, risks, and technical prerequisites
