At the Swedish Migration Agency, we work on one of our time's major societal issues – migration. We are approximately 6,000 people here, and we have an unusually important job!
Do you want to work at the center of events and contribute to socially important activities?
Region South at the Swedish Migration Agency is seeking two administrative experts for the Citizenship Review Section and the Work Permit Review Section in Norrköping.
This is the role for you if you want to work at the intersection of strategy, development, and analysis. An assignment that requires both sharp thinking and creativity, and where you get to use both every day. With us, you land in the middle of operations where the outside world never stands still. Here you get a unique opportunity to work with current societal issues, issues that are influenced by our surroundings and that require both a holistic perspective and genuine civic engagement.
You will become the hub that holds the section's operations together and will, among other things, work in the national operational management forum. Approximately 15% of your time will be spent working within the region's office, which serves as the entry point for both internal and external parties.
What does an administrative expert do?
As an administrative expert, you have a central role in the operations. You hold together processes, analyze, create and compile materials, and contribute to driving the work forward. The role involves close collaboration with management, colleagues, and external stakeholders, where you serve as qualified support on both strategic and operational matters. Here you get to work in a varied daily environment with significant personal responsibility, many contact points, complex issues, and continuous learning. You will, among other things:
create decision-making materials, analyses, and reports
coordinate important matters and working groups
write response statements, opinions, and action plans
develop presentation materials for management and staff
contribute to developing and improving our working methods and processes
be a trusted and knowledgeable point of contact internally and externally
Who are you?
We are looking for someone who is initiative-taking and who actively contributes to driving the work forward, both independently and in collaboration with others. You have good collaboration skills and thrive in a role where you build trusting relationships with both colleagues and external stakeholders. Furthermore, you have the ability to see the big picture and take the larger perspective into account, which enables you to understand complex issues and see how different parts connect. You work structurally and prioritize your work efficiently, which allows you to handle multiple parallel tasks while ensuring quality in your deliverables. Your problem-solving and analytical skills enable you to quickly grasp new issues, draw well-founded conclusions, and develop thoroughly prepared materials that support both operational and strategic decisions.
In our work as civil servants, high demands are also placed on judgment and strong security and confidentiality awareness.
You have:
an academic degree of at least 120 credits or other education combined with relevant and current experience for the position
experience with analysis, development, or follow-up work
very good communication skills and the ability to express yourself well in both Swedish and English, orally and in writing
It is a merit if you have:
experience supporting managers or management groups
experience working within government administration
experience with the Swedish Migration Agency's mission and operations
