Your responsibilities

As a Development Manager, in the role of Object Manager for the area of Education, Culture, and Leisure, you will have a leading role in Linköping Municipality's steering and coordination model for digitalization. You will be a central link between operations and technology. Through collaboration, dialogue, and a clear focus on operational benefit, you will contribute to turning ideas and needs into reality.

You are responsible for planning and coordinating the work, as well as preparing a related budget, which you will also monitor. The goal is to work according to portfolio management, which means prioritizing between needs, initiatives, and projects.

In this role, you will work closely with managers, operational specialists, project managers, and representatives from the municipality's IT department, such as system administrators, IT developers, and IT project managers. You will also collaborate with functions from other administrations with similar roles.

In this job, you will have the opportunity to work in a daily routine where you move between strategic, tactical, and sometimes operational work. You will be driving change, following up on procurement and implementation projects, and thrive in a role where you lead without necessarily being a line manager.

Together, we are 12 people with different competencies delivering on various areas of responsibility. The unit covers areas such as information and case handling, object management, AI, as well as the diary and board work. We work together with approximately 150 other colleagues in activity-based office spaces centrally located directly adjacent to Stora Torget (the Main Square).

You who apply

We are looking for you who have an academic technical or philosophical university degree at the master's level, for example, as a civil engineer, master of science in economics, in systems science, informatics, or a similar direction that the employer deems relevant.

Requirements:

• Experience in strategic coordination, portfolio management, or a similar role at the interface between IT and operations.
• Very good knowledge of Swedish, both spoken and written.

Meritorious:

• Experience in quality development and change management.
• Experience in project management.
• Experience working in the public sector.
• Knowledge of IT systems and a good understanding of business and system architecture.

Your profile

As a person, you are self-reliant and take responsibility for your tasks. You structure your approach and drive processes forward. You think strategically, have a broad perspective, and consider the long-term significance of matters. You are proactive, clear in communication, and have good collaboration skills. Since the role involves many contact surfaces, it is important that you relate to people in a listening and smooth manner, and can resolve conflicts constructively. You have a natural leadership style where you motivate others and create engagement.
