Director of Data Driven Impact, Lund
We are looking for a 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 — and to help steer complex, cross-functional projects that touch many parts of the company at once. This is a senior role, part of the global Information Systems management team, reporting to our CIO. Do you want to work for a company where the demands are high, the atmosphere is warm, and the opportunities are enormous?
Information Systems is Axis's largest cross-functional department, intensely woven into every part of the company. Managers at Axis are one of the team, with a lot of focus on coaching colleagues and helping people get the best out of their own abilities. The level of knowledge here is high, and we are happy to share what we know. At the same time, we are unpretentious, and we hope you will teach us something in return. Axis is a global company with a presence in 180 countries and our own staff in 52 of them. Much of the work happens here in Lund, but its reach is company-wide and global — the initiatives you shape will cross departments, regions, and systems. We who will become your colleagues are glad and confident — we have already made a fantastic journey together, and with your help we will write the next chapter in it.
You will shape a team with three distinctly different competences. First, project management — to give shape, pace, and direction to initiatives that span the whole company. Second, a senior developer team with deep knowledge of Axis and of our cross-functional systems and information flows; their job is to increase speed across departments and silos while keeping a clear-eyed understanding of the consequences of every change. And third, a group of data stewards who maintain and manage the information structures we need to make the most of automation and AI going forward.
What you'll do here as Director of Data Driven Impact
You will build and head a new department whose job is to help Axis get the most out of fast-moving technology, AI very much included, and to take on the complex initiatives that no single department owns on its own. These are the projects where many departments must pull together, where the environment is tangled with big dependencies, and where someone needs to hold the whole picture in view while change is happening across the company at speed. Axis is growing so fast that this can sometimes feel like changing the engine on a rocket that is still climbing — at full speed, with no plans to slow down. That is exactly the kind of challenge this role is built for.
Contribute to moving the department towards ownership of whole information flows — finding new ways to integrate systems, building a flexible environment where data can be shared freely, and putting that foundation to work through everything from automation to machine-learning-based prediction models
We think you are forward-looking and proactive, genuinely comfortable in complexity, and motivated rather than daunted by big dependencies and many moving parts. You are used to collaborating in a global, multicultural environment, and you are good at bringing people with you across departments and silos. You read where technology is heading, and you are not afraid to act on it. You adapt as conditions shift and keep guiding with both compassion and result orientation. It matters that you communicate well and have a real ability to understand and solve problems from many different perspectives.
You bring documented management experience and the ability to balance demands from many different stakeholders at once, holding short-term delivery and long-term development in focus at the same time. You will also need to define success as the company succeeding — even when that happens without you winning every discussion.
We'd love to hear that you have:
