Beskrivning
Do you thrive at the intersection of business strategy and technology transformation? Here, you shape how enterprise architecture drives real business outcomes-creating clarity, direction, and long-term value across a complex, global organization.
Why Sandvik?
At business area Machining, you work at the heart of a transformation agenda where enterprise architecture becomes a true business enabler.
Influence enterprise‑wide technology direction across multiple divisions
Lead a strategic agenda that connects business outcomes to technology change
Operate at senior level with strong exposure to executive decision forums
About the job
In this role, you define, govern, and continuously evolve enterprise architecture across all divisions in the Business Area. You ensure the enterprise IT portfolio-applications, platforms, data, integration, and enabling technologies-is coherent, strategically aligned, and fit to support business strategy and digital transformation. You also own and drive the Technology Change Agenda (TCA) at Business Area level, ensuring clear traceability from strategy to outcomes, architectural decisions, and realized benefits. The role is at Business Area level with enterprise‑wide accountability in a matrix organization.
Job responsibilities
Define and maintain the enterprise architecture vision, principles, and target states aligned with business and group strategies
Govern the enterprise IT portfolio to ensure long‑term architectural integrity and fact‑based decision‑making
Own, evolve, and operationalize the Technology Change Agenda as a central mechanism for prioritizing and sequencing technology change
Lead the build-up of enterprise architecture as a strategic, enterprise wide capability
Ensure alignment between divisional roadmaps and enterprise architectural direction while balancing autonomy and consistency
Act as a trusted advisor to senior leaders and represent enterprise architecture in boards and governance forums
Location and flexibility
This role is preferably based in Stockholm (World Trade Center), Sandviken, or Düsseldorf. International travel is required.
Your profile
You bring extensive experience in enterprise architecture, IT strategy, or large‑scale technology transformation, and thrive in complex, federated environments. With a strategic mindset, you turn long‑term direction into short‑term action and lead organizations through meaningful change.
Your background includes:
Broad expertise across applications, platforms, data, integration, and security
Experience leading enterprise‑level or cross‑divisional transformation initiatives
Proven experience in Digital transformations working in matrix or federated organizations
Exposure to executive or board-level forums
A relevant university degree or equivalent experience
You're a confident, credible leader who acts with an enterprise‑first perspective. By communicating complex topics in clear, business-oriented language, you build trust, challenge the status quo when needed, and create alignment across diverse stakeholders. Collaboration comes naturally, and you lead with integrity while developing people and sustainable capabilities for the future.
