About this role
Would you like to be part of the agency's journey and contribute to the digital transformation? We are strengthening the architecture area and are now seeking experienced enterprise architects (EA) with a focus on business and information architecture and previous experience from complex business and IT landscapes.
As an EA, you have a holistic view regarding impact at various levels to fulfill the agency's mission. Join us in making society possible!
About the job
The architectural work is a central area where you will have the opportunity to contribute to development. You will help create the conditions for the digital transformation that the agency is currently undergoing and will be an important part of the agency’s development operations.
You will be part of the agency’s overarching EA team, where you, along with other architects, will be responsible for developing and managing agency-wide architectural artifacts, such as target architectures, business capabilities, and information structures, as well as establishing and maintaining architectural principles, reference architecture, methods, and models for architecture.
The role also involves planning and coordinating architectural work, supporting the operation during change processes, leading workshops, and developing architecture concepts. Of course, this is done with the aim of ensuring that the agency's overarching vision, goals, and strategy are adhered to and aligned with the agency's IT strategy.
You will have flexible working hours, and it is a given for us that you should maintain a balance between work and leisure.
You will belong to the Architecture Governance section within the Development Control Unit of the Financial Management Department, with placement in Gothenburg, Sundbyberg, or Umeå. The section is also responsible for information governance, which means tasks within this area may occur.
