1 position(s).
Be part of shaping the city's future digital direction. With us, you won't just participate in strategy—you'll own it over time and see it become reality in a complex and socially important organization.
Your Responsibilities
You have overall responsibility for both setting direction and driving development within the city's IT infrastructure and IT security. The assignment combines clear strategic responsibility with a driving and coordinating role in implementation.
In the strategic part, you are responsible for ensuring that IT infrastructure and technology choices support the organization's long-term goals by developing and managing IT strategies, target architecture, and principles. You prioritize based on operational value, security, and cost-effectiveness, and translate external trends into concrete decisions for a modern and sustainable IT environment.
At the same time, you play a central role in driving the work in practice in an environment where all IT operations are outsourced. This means you coordinate deliveries, manage vendors, and follow up on quality, cost, and results. You function as the link between operations and technology and drive the work forward together with both internal and external parties. You move between strategic issues and more concrete decisions, with a focus on coordinating, prioritizing, and following up rather than working operationally in solutions yourself.
Your Qualifications
You have academic training in IT or several years of experience in the field. You have experience from larger organizations or complex IT environments at enterprise level where infrastructure, architecture, and security are central issues. You are comfortable working in contexts where vendor management and outsourcing are important parts of delivery. One of your strengths is that you can combine your strong technical understanding with a clear strategic perspective.
You have experience driving strategic initiatives and translating them into practice. Confidence in navigating between the big picture and details allows you to create structure, set direction, and make well-founded decisions. You also have the ability to communicate technical issues in a way that creates understanding and engagement in the organization. The role suits you if you want to work less operationally and instead take greater responsibility for the overall picture, priorities, and long-term decisions.
We Offer
