About the role

As Division Manager for Land, you lead a business focused on digitalizing the army with modern and secure communication solutions, and continuing to develop support for land forces so that the Swedish Armed Forces can best command their units.

You take active responsibility for change management, both within the division and across the entire business area. This involves initiating and driving development and improvement work with the goal of strengthening the business's ability to meet future needs in an efficient manner.

As a member of the business area's management group, you contribute to the development of the entire business from a strategic and long-term perspective. As a manager, you represent FMV's vision, goals, and values.

You ensure that both short-term and long-term goals are met through structured work, responsibility-taking, and anchoring among employees. You build trusting relationships and promote an inclusive, respectful work environment where engagement, community, and diversity are at the center. With stability, courage, and integrity, you take responsibility for decisions and actions, lead with values in focus, and act safely even in challenging situations. Through strategic holistic vision, you prioritize and coordinate resources, drive improvements, and strengthen the agency's long-term development and trust.
