Help shape the future of information management – we are looking for an E-Archivist

Digitalization is changing how authorities work – but also how information is preserved, made accessible, and used over time. At the Swedish Migration Agency, you will help develop the future of information management in an organization where legal certainty, long-term sustainability, and innovation go hand in hand.

We are now looking for an E-Archivist who wants to play a central role in developing our e-archive and contribute to creating sustainable solutions for the agency's digital information governance.

Here, you will work at the intersection of operations, information, and digitalization. You will become part of the Digitalization and Development Department (DUA), where we drive the development of the Swedish Migration Agency's processes and capabilities through innovation and digitalization. Through cohesive information management, we create the prerequisites for an efficient, legally secure, and sustainable operation.

A central part of the assignment is to further develop the agency's e-archive and contribute to making archiving a natural part of the agency's digital development. You work closely with operations, development teams, architects, and other specialists to ensure that information can be handled, preserved, and made accessible in a legally secure and sustainable way throughout its entire lifecycle.

You belong to the Information Governance Unit, where you work together with other specialists within information governance.
