As a manager at the Medical Products Agency, you will act with commitment, courage and trust with focus on the whole and our shared mission. Together we work for the health of people and animals – for a better Sweden, today and in the future. We are looking for you who are attracted by the opportunity to lead and develop our legal unit together with management colleagues and employees. As Deputy Chief Counsel, you will have a key role in the legal governance of a rapidly developing government agency. Our Operations Work at the Medical Products Agency's legal unit is multifaceted and has both national and international character. The starting point is that we work with all existing areas of law, a "full service unit". Our main legal areas are EU law, pharmaceutical law and the regulation of medical devices as well as the administrative law and civil law that exists at a central government agency. Our legal officers independently handle cases, conduct litigation in courts, prepare legal investigations and provide legal advice, both within the agency and to the Government Offices. We also participate in the implementation of EU legal acts, other legislative work and in the development of the agency's own regulatory provisions. The Legal Unit's tasks also include providing information to the public, affected companies and the health and medical care sector. The Legal Unit is highly sought after and high-performing with approximately 30 qualified lawyers and one administrator. The unit is, together with the Security Unit, organized under the Legal Function, which is led by the Chief Counsel. The unit also houses the agency's data protection officer and whistleblower function. Your Responsibilities As manager of the Legal Unit, you will lead and plan operations and have personnel and budget responsibility. The unit is divided into two groups, each with a group manager who reports to you as unit manager. As unit manager, you are also part of the Legal Function's management group. Together with management colleagues and employees, you continuously work to develop working methods and legal support. In the role, you make certain agency decisions and you also represent the agency in court and before other agencies. This is done in close cooperation with the Chief Counsel, who has overall responsibility for coordinating legal issues at the Medical Products Agency. In your role as Deputy Chief Counsel, you also provide support to, and substitute if needed, the Chief Counsel in various internal and external contexts. The Chief Counsel may also assign tasks to the Legal Unit. Your Background We are looking for you who have: - A law degree and completed notary traineeship, or equivalent experience that we consider equivalent, - Solid documented experience of other qualified legal work, preferably from a government agency, and - Experience of a formal management role with personnel responsibility, preferably also experience of leading through others, such as being a manager of other managers. In addition to the above, we consider it a merit if you have experience in legal areas related to our agency's mission, judge training in the Court of Appeal, and experience of work within the EU or the Government Offices. We assume that you have good ability to express yourself well in speech and writing in both Swedish and English. Your Personal Qualities We are looking for a confident leader who prioritizes, delegates and leads operations towards clear goals. You create dialogue and build team spirit and participation around the unit's development. You easily build relationships and create good cooperation internally and externally, communicate with responsiveness and solution focus and contribute to a good working environment characterized by commitment and respect. It is natural for you to handle uncertainty and change in a constructive way and adapt to different situations. With integrity, strategic perspective and good analytical ability, you make well-considered assessments and make decisions in complex matters. We will place great emphasis on your personal qualities.
