The Delivery Coordination group brings together a team of experienced IT architects and IT project managers. Our task is to support the IT department in large, complex assignments and advanced technology and architecture issues. The area is growing in line with developments in the external IT landscape, and our large, complex IT environment means there is now a need to strengthen the group with several senior project/assignment managers!

We offer among other things:

• The opportunity to contribute to increased safety and reduced crime in Sweden
• A good balance between work and private life, including the possibility of some remote work, flexible working hours, and good conditions for training
• One of the best occupational pension schemes on the labor market

Job Description

You will be part of a team consisting of several senior assignment managers and senior IT architects. Your overall task in the group will be to lead, plan, and coordinate larger IT assignments, often in collaboration with the group's own IT architects as well as product owners and assignment managers in other groups.

The focus is on assignments that span several groups and sections, where the assignments require coordination across organizational boundaries. The group belongs to the Operations and Infrastructure unit, and most of the assignments are within this organizational domain.

As an assignment manager, a high degree of responsibility is required to drive the work forward, as well as both the ability and willingness to find solutions in complex assignments.

During a typical work week, you may encounter:

• Conducting and participating in workshops and collaboration groups with various stakeholders/target groups
• Documentation, presentations, and discussing progress and challenges in your assignments
• Participation in various collaboration groups and working groups
• Work with business and process development

Qualifications

This is an opportunity for you if you have:

• A relevant post-secondary degree or other relevant education combined with work experience, which the employer assesses as equivalent
• At least 5 years of relevant work experience (recent) from a complex IT environment and in a role relevant to the position, such as IT project manager, IT assignment manager, IT project coordinator, or similar
• Very good professional experience and competence in leading complex technical projects/assignments, with many stakeholders and requirement owners involved
• You must master Swedish very well in speech and writing, and master English well in speech and writing
• The position requires Swedish citizenship

The following are meritorious:

• Good technical understanding of IT infrastructure and software development, for example, you may have previously worked as a solution architect/IT architect or as an IT infrastructure specialist/system developer
• Professional experience from an organization with a wide technical breadth and high security requirements regarding the IT environment
• Professional experience from operations strongly governed by regulations and legislation, for example, within state/public operations, or larger companies/organizations
• Experience of agile work, or other working models where iterative development and continuous feedback are central parts
• Experience of structuring information regarding IT projects/assignments and being able to document and report project status both in writing and orally

Personal Attributes

We are looking for someone who is self-reliant and has the ability to independently structure and drive your assignments forward. Since the role involves many contact surfaces, we consider it a given that you cooperate and communicate with both colleagues and other operations in a smooth and pedagogical manner to achieve common goals. The tasks place high demands on orderliness, as well as a structured and efficient way of working, and the role also requires good leadership skills and flexibility.

We value your personal attributes highly and will place great emphasis on these to find the right person for the role.
