Project Manager

To ensure management and further development, KTH's IT support is organized according to portfolio management. There are five sub-portfolios, which are further divided into management objects. The Digitalization Portfolio for Education is divided into a Study Administrative object, a Study Support object, and an E-learning object. Each object has an object manager for the two different perspectives: business and IT, as well as a steering group. The Department for Educational Support (EDO) is now seeking an object manager with a business perspective for the Study Administrative management object, Studadm. In Studadm, KTH has gathered about ten IT components, systems, and applications that support the operations responsible for administering education at the preparatory, undergraduate, advanced, and doctoral levels. Operational components related to these systems include, for example: establishing programs and courses, admitting and registering students, managing exam registrations, recording results, handling student mobility, and issuing degrees. KTH's strong development is also reflected in Studadm, where preparations are underway to accommodate new IT components. About the Department/Group EDO's mission for the operational part of the management of the Study Administrative object is located within the unit for educational administration (AUA). The unit is divided into three groups: admissions, graduation, and the group for operational monitoring and system support (VoS), where this position is situated. VoS is responsible for the systems support work for most of KTH's study administrative systems, including creating and conducting training within these systems. Additionally, VoS is responsible for monitoring and statistics in admissions, study administration, and graduation, operational development, and working with educational administrative processes.
