Operations Manager IT & Software Development

Do you want to join an industry leader within cybersecurity and drive important, cutting-edge projects within the field?
To stay ahead of the game, Sandvik IT are right now transforming the Cybersecurity organization from a small department to a state-of-the-art resilience center – an enabler for our global, tech-savvy business. We’re now looking for an Operations Manager to join us in strengthening our IT & Software Development function – are you a flexible networker with a collaborative mindset and a curiosity for innovation and improvements? Then we have the perfect opening for you!

What’s in it for you?
We’re proud of the industry leading position we hold when it comes to cybersecurity, but we’re even more thrilled to offer you a feedback-friendly arena, where people support each other and learn together. You get a lot of freedom to shape your own work and it’s truly developing – both for your own career path and for the balance between work and family life. Simply put, a great place to work!

About the job
Your main responsibilities are to manage and allocate resources for the Firewall team, F5 team and Zscaler team, and you take care of strategy and implementation, ensuring stable operations for all applications using F5. Other duties include:
Developing and anchoring technical roadmaps
Managing the lifecycle of the product and services
Validating the quality and design of solutions suggested by our suppliers and partners

To find appropriate technology, solve technical issues and optimize output of our solution designs, you map business requirements into technology solutions through interaction with the business, IT solution stakeholders, vendors and industry experts. You ensure that the designed solutions are successfully implemented by supporting project teams to confirm system evolution and delivery as maintainable finished solutions. Your mission includes reviewing the current technology architecture landscape and seeking new ways to leverage, improve and/or extend corporate technology investments, and you research new and emerging technologies for practical application to business problems and strategic initiatives. You also take part in driving our architectural standards and you bring your technical knowledge as you contribute to various cybersecurity projects.
In this position, you’re based in either Gasverket (Stockholm) or Sandviken, however this position allows for some flexible working scheduling. As your colleagues and our partners are spread across different locations, some trips are included.

What we need from you!
As much as we truly value your customer-centric, can-do attitude, you obviously need previous experience in the field, and to thrive in this role we see that you have:
Several years of work experience as a solution architect, most likely within cybersecurity, and proven technical aptitude in F5
Understanding of network security and ITIL processes
Good understanding of technical products and components, and an ability to evaluate, future proof and apply them for service effect
An ability to lead and co-ordinate technical development and maintenance of products or services

You have a good understanding of LTM, APM and ASM as well as BigIQ is a plus. Experience from an international, complex organization with multiple stakeholders and suppliers, lots of requirements and shifting needs is also useful. You easily connect with people and build trusting relations, and you’re skilled in explaining technical information in ways that make sense for everyone. Naturally, this means that you communicate fluently in English, while knowledge of Swedish is an advantage.
