Work Tasks

Work is conducted in close collaboration with colleagues in the administrative unit. The unit consists of five employees with expertise in HR, economics, law, and administration, plus a unit manager.

·worked with signal protection, cyber and information security, or security technical systems,
·experience in collaboration for IT operations between government agencies, and
·experience in project management, IT management, and vendor management.
Personal Qualities

You take own initiatives and have a strong ability to independently structure, plan, and drive your work forward. We place high demands on security and confidentiality, which requires that you have a high security awareness and great meticulousness in your work. Good collaborative skills are necessary to succeed in this assignment.
We will place great emphasis on your personal qualities.
