Introduction
As Autoliv continues its digital transformation, the role of Enterprise Security Architect is critical to ensuring that security is embedded not just in our systems—but in our strategy. In this role, you will define the long-term direction of cybersecurity architecture across the organization, working closely with Enterprise Architecture to align security capabilities with business priorities, risk appetite, and future needs. This is a strategic leadership position for someone who sees the big picture, understands the details, and can connect the two to drive meaningful, secure change.
