Ready to shape the digital future of Tax & Legal services?
We are looking for two experienced Business Technology Leads to join our Tax & Legal Technology team in Sweden. In this senior role (Senior Manager or Manager, depending on experience), you will bridge our Tax & Legal Service lines, with tax and legal consultants, and the Technology team, shaping how digital solutions are leveraged to improve efficiency, quality, and client delivery.
While we are primarily looking for a Senior Manager or Manager, we also encourage strong Senior Associate candidates in earlier stages of their career with relevant experience (3+ years), and a clear interest in business-led technology transformation to apply. The scope and responsibilities of the role will remain the same, with a tailored level of support, guidance, and coaching provided by a more senior colleague to enable a successful transition into the role.
Tax & Legal Technology is part of Tax Transformation, with focus on supporting internal transformation and Service Lines, while collaborating with stakeholders in client-related contexts.
This is an opportunity to join a team, where each role has high visibility and meaningful impact on how we define, scale, and realize digital transformation.
About the role
As a Business Technology Lead, you are the link between multiple Tax & Legal service lines and our Tax & Legal internal technology capabilities. You will translate business needs into scalable tech initiatives, shape multi-year digital roadmaps, and ensure that technology investments align with both service line strategies and the firm’s centralized IT architecture. This role is all about driving digital transformation in Tax & Legal and to proactively help service lines work smarter, more efficiently, and deliver enhanced outcomes for clients.
What you will do
Strategic Partnering: Work closely with Tax & Legal Service Lines (across two or more lines) to understand their goals, pain points, and opportunities. Act as a trusted tech advisor, ensuring each line’s priorities are enabled by the right technology. Proactively structure, prioritize, and manage demand across stakeholders.
Shape & Own Digital Roadmaps: Develop and maintain multi-year digital transformation roadmaps for each supported service line. Prioritize initiatives by business impact and feasibility, aligning them with both Swedish, Nordic, and Global strategic priorities.
Process & Value Optimization: Identify inefficiencies, risk gaps, and automation opportunities. Drive structured process improvements supported by technology. Ensure strong integration of governance, risk, and compliance.
Demand Shaping & Solution Design: Gather and structure business and non-functional requirements from the service lines and translate these into technical solutions in collaboration with architects and delivery teams. Ensure proposed solutions are fit-for-purpose, scalable, and reusable across multiple service lines (avoiding one-off silos).
Architecture Alignment: Recommend technology solutions that fit our approved tech stack and architecture principles. You will promote standardization and reuse of tools, guiding service lines to leverage existing platforms or proven solutions before considering custom builds.
Value Delivery & Adoption: Oversee the implementation rollout in partnership with project teams, and drive user adoption within the business. Make sure each solution delivers measurable business value (e.g., efficiency gains, cost savings, improved compliance) and track those benefits.
Nordic Collaboration: Coordinate with Tax & Legal Tech colleagues across the Nordics to share best practices and scale successful solutions regionally. You will be a key player in ensuring our Swedish Tax & Legal tech agenda relates to Nordic initiatives.
