You are self-driven, thorough, work in a structured manner and can switch between tasks with shorter deadlines and more complex investigations that require longer timeframes. You have good collaboration skills and are communicative while maintaining high integrity. To thrive in the role, you should have a solid interest in foreign, security and defense policy. The Unit The PDA unit is organized into two groups – the Permit Group and the Expert Support Group. The Permit Group is responsible for all ongoing examination of export licenses and advance rulings.

Which group you will be placed in is determined based on your competence and experience as well as current needs in the unit. However, the unit's resources can be deployed flexibly if the case situation requires it. The colleagues in the PDA unit are a professional group with great passion and enormous knowledge. Here you will quickly become part of the team and a valuable addition to the unit. About Employment at ISP The employment is permanent and begins with a six-month probationary period.
