You'll combine technical depth with a strong service mindset. The role is based at our headquarters in Lund. 

Who is your future team?  

You'll join the IT Network team within our Infrastructure & IT Operations department. The team makes sure Axis' network infrastructure supports our position as the world leader in network video.

What you'll do here as IT Product Owner – Network Services  

You'll own Axis' network services and make sure they deliver what the business needs, today and in the future. You'll connect the business, our network team and our suppliers, and your technical depth will let you have real discussions with all of them. The role has no direct reports, but it involves significant informal leadership: you'll guide and coordinate fellow engineers and set clear priorities for the service. 

In this role, you will: 

• Make sure our network services meet agreed service level objectives (SLOs), and follow up on how the services perform  

• Act as the escalation point for incidents and problems, drive improvements based on what we learn, and manage risks in line with our security policies and standards  

• Manage suppliers and contracts and follow up on their delivery  

• Build strong relationships with the business and internal stakeholders, and turn their needs into clear priorities and requirements  

• Own the backlog and priorities, and drive agile ways of working together with the team  

• Plan the lifecycle and roadmap of our network services, taking dependencies on other technology areas into account  

 Who are you?  

• Driven, structured and solution-oriented, and you enjoy the place where service delivery, business and technology meet.  

• Close enough to operations to understand how our services actually perform.  

• Have the overview to plan ahead and see the bigger picture, and you know when to dive into the details. 

• A clear and confident communicator who naturally takes the lead in collaborative settings.  

• You explain complex technical topics in a structured, easy-to-follow way, both verbally and in writing.  

• Genuinely interested in what stakeholders need, and you turn it into clear requirements, priorities and decision support.  

• You share your knowledge and help the people around you learn. 

We'd love to hear that you have: 

• Solid technical knowledge of networking, such as routing, switching and network security, deep enough to lead discussions with teams, stakeholders and suppliers  

• Experience of leading improvement or development initiatives for IT services or infrastructure  

• A proven ability to guide and coordinate technical teams without formal managerial authority  

• Excellent communication skills in English, written and spoken  

Bonus points if you also bring:
