When societal issues change rapidly, information structures must also evolve. At the Swedish Migration Agency, you'll have the opportunity to build the organizational framework that makes complex operations clearer, more cohesive, and better equipped for the future.
We're now seeking information architects who want to take a key role in developing our information architecture and creating conditions for more efficient, legally sound, and sustainable long-term information flow.
You'll work at the intersection of business operations, technology, and governance. You'll become part of an environment where information architecture is crucial for us to meet both legal requirements and operational needs—in an organization that operates in a changing external environment where digitalization is a central part of our development.
The Digitalization and Development Department's mission is to drive the evolution of the Swedish Migration Agency's processes and capabilities through innovation and digitalization. The department works to increase efficiency and quality in operations through integrated process management and business development, with and without IT components. The department also handles the agency's IT operations and infrastructure.
About the Position
As an information architect with us, you'll have an important role in building and further developing the Swedish Migration Agency's overarching information architecture. You'll work both strategically and operatively to develop, create, and maintain the models needed to establish and support the target architecture. You'll contribute to information being recognized as a strategic asset and structured in a way that strengthens both operations and the agency's legal responsibilities.
Examples of work tasks:
- Capture and coordinate needs for mapping information volumes within various operational areas and development initiatives
- Develop and maintain information models for current and future states that guide development toward the decided target architecture
- Take long-term responsibility for the Swedish Migration Agency's central information architecture and information models to be developed and maintained according to applicable standards
- Ensure that information models are used in business development and provide support to development initiatives in practical application
- Educate and guide roles in development work that need to understand and use the information models
- Conduct investigations and prepare analytical decision-making materials
- Collaborate within the architecture function and with other architecture roles to ensure integrated architecture
The position is placed in the Strategy and Information Governance section and is an important part of the agency's virtual architecture function. The function is led by two chief architects and consists of several different architecture roles. The role involves many contact points, both within the Development and Digitalization Department, with other departments, and with external partners.
Who Are You?
We're looking for someone driven by the desire to understand, analyze, and structure large and complex information volumes. You have strong analytical abilities and can see the bigger picture without losing sight of the details in information structure.
You're collaboration-oriented with a natural ability to lead and coordinate work. At the same time, you're pedagogical and communicative, with the ability to explain complex relationships to different audiences, both verbally and in writing. You're unpretentious, create engagement around you, and contribute to participation and progress in the organization.
In your role as a civil servant, high standards are placed on judgment and security and confidentiality awareness. We place great importance on your personal qualities and your suitability for the position.
We're looking for someone who has:
- Relevant university or college education, at least 120 credits, in, for example, data/computer science, informatics, engineering, or other education combined with relevant work experience
- Several years of experience working with information and/or business architecture
- Documented experience with information, concept, and/or data modeling, such as ArchiMate, UML, IRM, or similar
- Experience working with EA tools, such as Sparx EA, Aris Connect, or similar
- Good understanding of requirements for information management from legal, operational, and digitalization perspectives
- Good communication skills and the ability to express yourself well in speech and writing in Swedish and English
It's advantageous if you have:
- Certification as an information architect or business architect
- Experience establishing target architecture in large and complex organizations
- Experience with architectural frameworks, such as TOGAF
