Job description

Job Title: Director of Data Driven Impact, Lund

Overview

We are looking for a senior Director of Data Driven Impact who will build a brand-new department dedicated to scaling up and making the most of where new technology could be taking us. This role will steer complex, cross‑functional projects that touch many parts of the company at once and reports to the CIO as part of the global Information Systems management team.

What you’ll do

• Build and head a new department with three competence areas: project management, senior development, and data stewardship.
• Own complex, cross‑functional initiatives where dependencies are high and progress is rapid.
• Help Axis get the most out of fast‑moving technology, including AI, automation and data‑driven solutions.
• Contribute to moving the department toward ownership of whole information flows – integrating systems and building a flexible environment where data can be shared freely for automation and machine‑learning‑based prediction models.
• Collaborate across departments, regions, and silos, bringing people along rather than steering around them.
• Support technology planning, prioritisation and investment decisions.
• Take good care of your staff and make the most of limited resources.

Who we’re looking for

• Documented management experience, including managing and developing teams.
• Ability to balance demands from many stakeholders, holding short‑term delivery and long‑term development in focus at the same time.
• Experience coordinating complex, cross‑functional initiatives in a global organisation.
• A strong understanding of how technology, data and information flows create business value.
• A coaching leadership style – you take good care of your staff and make the most of limited resources.

Bonus points if you also bring

• Experience building a new team or department from the ground up.
• Familiarity with AI, automation or data‑informed approaches in an enterprise context.
