Tax and accounting professionals across Scandinavia rely on our software every day to run their practices, serve their clients and stay compliant with constantly changing legislation. We are modernising that portfolio, evolving trusted solutions while building new cloud platforms, developing how our teams work together, and embracing AI across the product development lifecycle to empower our engineers and amplify their expertise.
We are looking for a Director, Product Software Engineering to lead our Scandinavian engineering organisation through this journey. You will lead a team of experienced managers, architects and engineers, building on a strong foundation to take delivery, engineering practices and the organisation to the next level, as part of a global Wolters Kluwer engineering community.
Why this role
Your mandate
You are accountable for the performance, results and health of product software engineering for Scandinavia. Reporting to the VP, Region North, you lead the engineering management team and work closely with product management, architecture, security and global engineering.
Deliver predictably
Own delivery of the strategic roadmap. Keep a consolidated view of demand versus capacity, make trade-offs explicit before work starts, and validate that commitments are achievable.
Set technology direction and investment
Translate business strategy into technology priorities. Balance investment across new product development, modernisation, technical debt, compliance and operational resilience with a multi-year view, and challenge initiatives where the value does not justify the investment.
Raise engineering effectiveness
Use meaningful delivery and quality insights to help teams continuously improve how they work. Sponsor developer-experience improvements and modern, automated build, test, release and deployment practices.
Lead the AI engineering transformation
Champion AI-assisted and spec-driven development across the organisation, in line with security, privacy and governance requirements. Encourage experimentation, and keep looking for ways to simplify and accelerate how we work together.
Safeguard quality, security and compliance
Maintain quality, security and release-readiness standards. Act as primary owner for ISO 27001 within your area and keep the organisation prepared for upcoming regulation, particularly from the EU.
Modernise release planning
Together with our Release Manager, establish modern release planning with up-front coordination of dependencies across products and global teams, ensuring smooth updates for customers.
Connect Scandinavia and global
Represent Scandinavian engineering in global and regional forums, work within shared corporate standards and frameworks, and escalate constructively when global and local priorities conflict.
Lead and grow people
Lead the Scandinavia and Finsit management team with clear expectations, accountability, engagement and well-being. Build a strong and diverse talent pipeline, invest in people’s development and help engineering leaders grow in their roles.
Govern decisions and escalations
Clarify which decisions sit with Product, Engineering, Architecture, Security or regional/global leadership. Act as final escalation point for major incidents and report status, risks and dependencies to regional and global leadership.
Be a visible engineering leader
Strengthen your network within Wolters Kluwer and the industry, and represent us externally through talks, articles, podcasts and conferences in Sweden.
