The Industrial business area is facing exiting challenges and now needs to strengthen our team with an experienced Delivery Manager, who has experience of agile ways of working and in building and leading high-performing teams.

About the role

As Delivery Manager, you will take both the formal leadership and team lead responsibility for the domain's development progress and tech deliveries – from operational to strategic areas.

You will lead, coach, support, and challenge your team and, together with the Chief Product Owner, steer its work. To succeed in this role, you have interest in and have good technical understanding as well as documented experience from IT-development in complex IT-environments. With your team, you'll ensure that current and future business needs are met, while addressing IT challenges to build resilient and future-ready capabilities.

The Core Systems domain - one of four in the If IT-unit Industrial - consists of 20 IT professionals located in Stockholm and Riga. Your direct reports have roles such as Developers, QA and Scrum Master. Together with other IT- and Business colleagues, you'll ensure the domains' IT deliveries.

We believe in an atmosphere built on trust and stability, where people can truly put their hearts into their work – even when deadlines are tight or challenges complex. Flexibility is key, so while your main focus will be the Core Systems domain, you'll also collaborate and are expected to work with other IT Industrial teams when your skills are needed. And last but not least, you'll join an informal working environment with lots of smiles and a positive spirit.

Who are you?

You currently work in an IT development team inspired by agile methodologies and feel confident in that setting. You understand that a structured development process is essential – but not the goal in itself. The goal is to deliver business and IT value, and the process is there to support that.

You already have a managerial role with direct reports and are comfortable driving operational, tactical, and strategic progress. You also understand the importance of stable daily operations and we believe that you have a profound experience and understanding from operational governance.

You find this role interesting because it allows you to continue evolving your leadership skills while keeping a foot in technology – to drive, challenge, and inspire. You're not afraid to "get your hands dirty" when needed, enjoy seeing people grow, and strive to create a positive environment that delivers high business value.

You have a structured and focused mindset, enjoy taking personal responsibility, and combine strong drive and commitment with a coaching leadership style. You communicate clearly and naturally value quality, customer orientation, and innovation. With a proactive, solution-oriented approach, you're motivated by having many things on your plate and handle them all with integrity and a service-minded attitude.

This role requires strong planning, communication, and follow-up skills to secure progress and successful deliveries. You'll be accountable for the domain's IT deliveries, supported by your team. Stakeholder management is a key part of the role, which also includes planning, budgeting, and forecasting responsibilities. Alongside implementing business requirements, we place great emphasis on IT quality improvements and innovation to secure the future of If Industrial's insurance business.

You also have:

• 5–7+ years of documented leadership experience within IT (with direct reports)
• Experience in leading and building IT development organizations through strong communication and technical insight
• Solid understanding of IT development, both agile and waterfall approaches
• Strong technical background – preferably with experience as a developer or architect
• Proven experience in driving tactical and strategic vision work and turning it into actionable plans
• Experience in leading and coaching IT decision-making and change initiatives
• Experience in planning, forecasting, and follow-up (both financial and delivery)
• Fluency in English, spoken and written
• Bachelor's degree or higher (e.g. Computer Science or equivalent)

You will report to the Head of IT Industrial, be a part of the IT Industrial management team and together with our Nordic organization have great opportunities to influence and contribute to IT Industrial's development.
