In 2021, Hallgren served as Sweden's Ambassador for Disarmament and Non-Proliferation,^[4] where he represented Sweden in international efforts to reduce the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. From 2018 to 2021, he was Sweden's Ambassador to South Korea, promoting Swedish trade, values, and peace efforts on the Korean Peninsula. During his tenure, the Swedish Embassy in Seoul received recognition as Sweden's best promotional mission in 2020.

Between 2012 and 2018, Hallgren was the Deputy Director of the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute,^[5] where he led the institute's recovery from a deep crisis and re-established it as a global leader in peace research. His work included initiating the Stockholm Forum on Peace and Development, leading dialogues with North Korea and Iran, and managing peacebuilding projects in Mali.

Starting in 1997, Jakob Hallgren held various pivotal roles within the Swedish Ministry for Foreign Affairs.^[6] These included managing humanitarian aid and conflict resolution, shaping European security policy, and representing Sweden in Geneva (2006–2010), where he worked on disaster risk reduction and fostered humanitarian partnerships with organizations such as the International Committee of the Red Cross,^[7] 'UNICEF.^[8]' and the UN, where he was Chairman of the Office for Disaster Risk Reduction^[9] and responsible for Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs.^[10]
