close collaboration with skilled specialists across product, engineering, and projects.
an environment that encourages improvement, learning, and new ideas.

About your job

As Operational Lead in the Manuals Department, the focus is on keeping daily operations running smoothly while continuously improving how documentation work is done. Planning, coordination, and prioritization are part of everyday work, ensuring Technical Writers have the right conditions to deliver high‑quality manuals on time.

You act as a natural hub between teams, aligning documentation activities with project timelines and product releases. Processes, tools, and standards are actively developed, bottlenecks are removed, and progress is followed up to ensure delivery without compromising quality. Strategic thinking blends with hands-on coordination, creating structures that support both today’s needs and tomorrow’s improvements.

Location and flexibility

The location for this position is Svedala, a short commute from Malmö. We offer you hybrid work arrangements, combining office work with work from home.

Your profile

You have solid operational experience and a strong sense for structure and flow. A background in documentation, technical communication, or similar knowledge‑intensive environments is valuable. We also believe you have:

Several years of experience coordinating workflows, operations, or smaller teams
Strong understanding of process development, planning, and prioritization
Confidence working with documentation tools, version management, and quality standards
Interest in digitalization and technologies such as AI to improve documentation processes

Your collaborative mindset and calm, solution-oriented way of working are perfect assets for this role. You build trust through clarity, consistency, and the ability to keep people aligned even when priorities shift. Clear communication comes naturally, both in writing and dialogue with stakeholders. Curiosity, initiative, and a genuine interest in helping others succeed make everyday work both effective and rewarding.
