AxÖ Consulting is now recruiting a section manager for systems work at BAE Systems Bofors – an opportunity for you who wants to lead in a complex technical environment and contribute to the bigger picture in the development of tomorrow's defense systems.
This is a role for you who combines technical breadth with confident and present leadership, and who wants to be part of building a sustainable organization in a growing operation.
This is a direct recruitment, which means you will be employed directly by BAE Systems Bofors.
About the assignment
BAE Systems Bofors develops, produces and delivers advanced defense systems and is in a continued strong growth phase. The development department has grown steadily over recent years – and forecasts show a continued increased need for expertise and leadership.
As part of this journey, the organization within the Systems unit is being developed, with a focus on creating a sustainable structure that can meet both today's and tomorrow's needs.
This means:
building an organization that can sustain itself over time
strengthening leadership and working methods in a growing operation
creating the right conditions for complex development in project form
Your role
As a section manager for systems work, you are responsible for leading and developing a section that works with a holistic perspective on products – where several technical areas meet and collaborate.
Here, systems work is not just about software systems, but about understanding, coordinating and developing the entire defense system. This includes areas such as electronics, electrical systems, mechanics/construction, software and IT security – and how these work together as a whole.
You are not expected to be a specialist in all these areas, but you have a good technical understanding and the ability to see the big picture, ask the right questions and create the right conditions for your employees to succeed.
In your section there is a mix of experience – from very experienced employees with a long background in the operation to more junior talent at the beginning of their careers. An important part of your task will be to create an environment where both these groups receive the right support, development and opportunity to contribute.
Your profile
We are looking for you as an experienced leader with the ability to create security, structure and direction – while being driven by development and improvement.
You have:
Technical post-secondary education or equivalent experience that we assess as equivalent
Broad technical understanding and experience of systems work in complex environments
Leadership experience, for example as a line manager or project manager
Experience working in project-based organizations
Good understanding of the interaction between different technical areas
Good knowledge of Swedish and English
Personal qualities
To succeed in the role, we see that you are:
A confident, stable and present leader
Clear in your communication and good at creating structure
Committed and development-oriented
Responsive, relationship-building and collaborative
Comfortable with change and experienced in handling complexity

In addition, we organize appreciated social activities and give you access to a modern and well-equipped gym.
