Kalendegatan 1, Malmö, Schweden

Ref: 20261953 Job Responsibilities In a changing world, society's ability to prevent, manage and recover from undesirable events and complex challenges is increasingly important. The deteriorated security situation and experiences from previous crises have highlighted the need to strengthen municipalities' work on security and preparedness. Malmö City therefore works together to build a resilient Malmö where everyday life functions, even when the unexpected occurs. The Employment and Social Services Administration, Sweden's largest social services organization, is now seeking a strategic security coordinator with a focus on physical security. In this role, you will have a central function in developing, coordinating and strengthening the administration's work with physical security and protection of society-critical operations. The administration conducts activities with broad scope and complexity, including social services offices, protected residential facilities, social activities and services for individuals facing serious threats. The administration operates in over 200 premises, and many activities have assignments that place high demands on security and safety. Well-functioning security work is therefore crucial for creating a safe working environment for our employees and a secure environment for those we serve. The focus is on developing systematic and long-term security work and promoting a culture where security perspectives and strategic risk management are a natural part of operations' daily work. You will be part of the administration's newly established unit for security and preparedness and become part of an engaged team consisting of, among others, security coordinators for personal security, an information security coordinator and a preparedness coordinator. Together you will drive development, ensure compliance with legislation and represent the administration within your respective areas. The role also involves close collaboration with other staff functions, administration management and operations managers to ensure a holistic perspective on security and preparedness issues. You will also participate in city-wide networks and collaboration forums together with other security coordinators within Malmö City. As security coordinator, you are responsible for mapping, developing, coordinating and following up on the administration-wide work within the field. An important part of the assignment is to develop processes, methodological support and working methods that strengthen long-term and systematic security work. You are responsible for developing, revising and implementing governing documents, guidelines and procedures that help prevent risks, strengthen physical protection and create conditions for a safe and secure working environment. The assignment also includes analysis of incidents, identification of underlying causes and development of measures to reduce vulnerabilities and prevent future events. Although the role is primarily strategic, it includes support in managing major security-related incidents and events. The assignment also includes monitoring developments within the security field, following relevant legislation and authority requirements and implementing these in the administration's work. You serve as a control function when introducing camera surveillance before handover to the camera surveillance board and in applications for security guard orders. You will work closely with the local unit's security coordinator responsible for operational and technical physical security. This function is responsible for implementing the strategic guidelines and procedures developed as part of the assignment. Both functions are newly established and recruitment to the positions will occur in parallel. Qualifications We are looking for someone with a university education corresponding to 180 credits in a relevant subject area or comparable education combined with relevant work experience. You have documented work experience in physical security and experience in developing guidelines, procedures and other governing documents. It is meritorious if you have: worked in a consultative role in a supporting capacity to managers and operations experience with common tasks within staff functions, such as conducting analyses and follow-ups, preparing decision support materials and conducting systematic environmental monitoring experience in planning, conducting and leading workshops, training initiatives or exercises experience working in municipal/public administration. To thrive and succeed in the role, you are a communicative and relationship-building person with good collaboration skills. You are confident in taking leadership when the situation requires it and at the same time have the ability to independently drive your areas of responsibility forward. You work strategically and long-term, but also have a structured working style, good attention to detail and the ability to remain calm even in pressured situations. As a security coordinator at the Employment and Social Services Administration, an interest in and knowledge of societal issues from a broad perspective is required, and the ability to see and understand the whole and context. You have the ability to see wholes and contexts and to translate current needs and challenges into long-term strategies and development initiatives. The role involves representing both Malmö City and the administration in various internal and external contexts.
