At Eidsiva Digital, we build critical infrastructure and develop digital services that make everyday life easier and safer for both people and businesses. We are now looking for Head of Technology Development who will help ensure that we make the right technology choices - across networks, platforms and services.
This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of technology and business, and to influence how we as a company invest and develop in a time of rapid technological change.
As Head of Technology Development, you will have a central role in pointing out a common direction for our technology environments. You will lead a newly established technology strategy team and be an important voice in the development of new services and solutions - with the main focus on the business market. The role is both strategic and operational, and you will work closely with both internal expertise, business developers and external partners. With us, you'll use your technology expertise to shape solutions that make a real impact for the company, customers and society.
Your workplace will be in Lillehammer, and you'll be part of the management group in the Growth, Innovation and Strategy department. Here you will be part of an ambitious professional environment within telecom, information security and data centers, which focuses on product and business development. The position does not involve personnel responsibility.
The most important tasks that await you:
Lead and develop our technology strategy team, to ensure the right technology choices across technology areas and departments
Drive innovation and development of new services in the early phase, preferably based on the availability of new technology
Utilize technology and business together, for example through profitability assessments of products or technology choices
Contribute to operational problem solving and product implementation when needed
Communicate and visualize technology and solutions internally and externally
Represent Eidsiva Digital in dialogue with customers, suppliers and partners
Who are you?
At Eidsiva, we are curious about who you are, which environments you thrive in and how you can contribute to our meaningful social mission. Of course, you don't need to know everything - we value learning and development, but we think you will thrive with us if you recognize yourself in what we describe below:
Technology is more than a discipline, it's something you understand in depth and see in a larger context. You have a broad technological overview and deeper expertise in some of our core areas (network, cloud, information security, service platforms). It is particularly important to have good expertise and preferably hands-on experience in network technology (network protocols, core and metro network architecture, service production platforms).
You combine technical insight with strategic understanding. You know that technology choices are not just about performance and scalability, but also about profitability, customer value and strategic direction.
Driving development forward energizes you. You enjoy exploring new opportunities, challenging established solutions and setting direction - both through your own initiatives and in collaboration with others.
Collaboration is a strength. You communicate clearly and build relationships across disciplines, partners and customers.
We believe in the value of both education and experience and know that they often complement each other. Relevant higher education is therefore positive in the role, but practical experience from complex technology environments and development projects also weighs heavily.

As an employee of Eidsiva, you will be part of a social and inclusive community where we see people as the most important driver of our social mission.
Meaningful work in a highly competent work environment, with a focus on innovation and your development
