Your role

This position sits at the heart of the Digital Battlespace Solutions (DBS) Business Unit, working closely with the BU Head, Deputy and leadership team. You will gain insight into how a large and complex C5ISR business is run end-to-end while playing a key role in keeping daily operations on track. The role offers an excellent foundation for a future career in operations, program management or strategy, with clear opportunities to step into larger responsibilities within the BU or across the wider group.

Main responsibilities:

• Keep the BU ahead of corporate asks: Own and maintain the Group ask tracker, pre-fill templates and reports, and ensure high-quality inputs are delivered on time
• Shape leadership operating rhythm: Plan and coordinate Management Team meetings and leadership forums – set agendas, prepare pre-reads, and ensure sessions are decision-ready
• Capture and drive outcomes: Take structured notes during MT and other leadership forums, and manage follow-up actions through to completion so decisions translate into results
• Support initiative owners: Help leaders and project owners with change-management tasks, from communicating decisions to tracking adoption and ensuring initiatives stick
• Enable leadership focus: Proactively take on the coordination and background work that frees senior leaders to spend more time with customers, delivery, and growth
• Deliver BU improvements: Lead mini-projects to improve how the BU works (e.g., simplifying reporting tools, refining meeting cadence, or rolling out new shared systems)
• Provide analysis and insight: Support BU Head and Deputy with ad-hoc analysis, presentations, and reporting to inform strategic decisions
• Organize Key Events: Organise and deliver offsites, workshops and BU-wide leadership events from start to finish

Your profile

• At least 3 years’ experience in consulting, business operations or project coordination
• Proven experience in business analysis within complex organisational or operational settings (e.g., program support, process improvement, performance tracking, reporting)
• Highly organised with strong attention to detail, able to manage multiple parallel workstreams
• Confident user of business tools such as Excel, PowerPoint and Teams/SharePoint
• Strong written and verbal communication skills in both Swedish and English
• Proactive, solutions-oriented mindset with a hands-on approach
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced environment with senior leaders
