Head of IT Delivery

For Sandvik Mining and Rock Technology and our IT organization, we’re looking for an experienced Head of IT Delivery. Someone who is ready to be a central player in our quest to create the next generation of IT, and support the delivery of cutting edge products and solutions to our mining and construction customers across the globe.


Today, new technology paves the way for innovative products and methods, and digitalization has the potential to unlock significant value in our operations. We’re eager to explore the future of manufacturing connected to this powerful area, and we can’t wait for you to take lead in this exciting transformation journey!


About the job
In this position, you’re responsible for the full spectrum of our IT service delivery, and for identifying new, innovative and profitable solutions that drive a competitive advantage for us. You lead and develop a global IT organization – consisting of IT managers, employees and external partners – in delivering on expectations and agreement, as well as effectively supporting the business needs of all our divisions and sales areas. A very important item on your agenda is setting our strategy, tracking our KPIs and ensuring that we have the competencies, capacity and operating models needed to be the best of the best. This means closely collaborating with partners, suppliers and stakeholders across the entire business to identify, develop and optimize the use of modern technology.


Your organization is truly global and you connect people, technology and processes as you provide us with a strong direction and establish business driven solutions. You report directly to the CIO of Sandvik Mining and Rock Technology and are an active member of the IT management team. This position is flexible between Sandviken (Sweden) and Tampere (Finland). Global travel is normally included in your job, although due to the pandemic situation, we’re currently even more digital than usual in our ways of working.


About you
We’re looking for a confident and collaborative leader, with the ability to set a successful strategy and deliver on the same. You have deep experience in the field of IT – such as IT management, IT project management, IT delivery and IT service delivery – and you’re skilled in driving change in a global context. You also need knowledge of IT landscape transformation, while previously managing large scale SAP deployment programs is an advantage. A master degree in Computer Science or similar is required, and as we’re present all across the globe, you have excellent communication skills in English and are experienced when it comes to remote, indirect and cross-cultural leadership.


It’s key that you can establish structure, gain trust and create strong relationships, and that’s why your personal qualities are very important to us. You have an innovative mindset and like both to challenge us and to be challenged - always committed to making things happen in a flexible, yet decisive manner. You’re also very tactical and clearly communicate the purpose of our activities to ensure team spirit and a positive impact.


Our culture
At Sandvik Mining and Rock Technology we believe in finding that perfect mix between work, family life and interests, and we happily support our employees in balancing this. For us, it’s also clear that our diversities form a solid foundation for achieving great results. Visit our website, LinkedIn or Facebook to get to know us further.
