Are you passionate about enabling teams to deliver high quality digital solutions — and equally excited about bringing modern digital systems into environments that still rely on paper? In this role, you will lead the transition from analog to digital ways of working in production, while coaching development teams to deliver predictably, sustainably, and with strong technical excellence. You will be the bridge between engineering, operations and business needs, ensuring that digital tools, structures and data governance create real impact.

• Coach developers in a DevOps-aligned Scrum environment, strengthening technical practices and team-wide ownership. 

• Improve estimation accuracy, workflow efficiency, WIP management, and overall delivery predictability. 

• Ensure digital governance, data structure, and engineering practices support long-term quality, automation, and operational reliability. 

• Use boards and visual workflows to highlight dependencies, risks, bottlenecks, and flow performance for continuous improvement. 

• Guide teams in delivering features with proper logging, monitoring, security, error handling, and release readiness built in. 

Your background 

• Experience implementing digital systems in complex environments and understanding the challenges of shifting from analog to digital processes. 

• Strong background in Scrum or Kanban, with a proven ability to improve team delivery flow and technical alignment. 

• Skilled in breaking down, refining, and prioritizing work in tools such as Azure Boards, Jira, or GitHub Projects. 

• Ability to define and maintain workflows, DoR/DoD, technical tasks, enablers, spikes, and architectural work. 

• Comfortable collaborating across development, QA, DevOps/platform teams, and business stakeholders. 

• Knowledge of digital governance, data structure, lifecycle considerations, and quality aspects essential to modern DevOps delivery. 

• Mandatory to be fluent in Swedish and English, both written and verbally.
