About the job
As a section chief in the legal unit at the Claims and Payments Department, you create conditions for active employee engagement through hands-on leadership.

As section chief, you will lead approximately 14 employees, consisting of both lawyers and administrative case handlers. This is a new section that will be part of the legal unit within the Claims and Payments Department. Employees are located at multiple sites, which means you will partly lead remotely. You are therefore expected to exercise hands-on leadership even when you and your employees work in different locations.

Kronofogden's Employee Policy
You exercise hands-on leadership that creates conditions for active employee engagement. You have the ability to lead through change and develop operations through continuous improvement. Your analytical skills mean you can handle a high degree of complexity in your work and understand how different parts of the operation affect each other.

As a manager, you show great confidence in your employees' abilities while remaining ultimately responsible for results and quality. You communicate in a way that creates participation and engagement, and you have the ability to collaborate and promote a good work environment. Being a manager and leader means both that you challenge others and that you yourself can be challenged regarding thinking and working methods.

We provide citizens and businesses with information and good service so they can make long-term and sustainable decisions. This requires knowledge, decisiveness, consideration, and courage.
