Vacant job

With us, you thrive if you want to make a difference on an overarching level! The work concerns the focus areas outlined in the Regional Library Plan for 2025-2028, which deals with language and reading promotion, digital inclusion, accessibility, and collaboration.

Your job will involve driving development projects and processes that support public library operations. We are looking for someone who is adaptable and can shift focus when needed – assignments may change depending on political decisions and the needs of public libraries.

You will collaborate with library staff and colleagues to work towards common goals with the resident in focus. This may involve documenting the work and giving presentations about the work that has been done. Monitoring the external environment is part of the job for dissemination to public library staff and colleagues.

About you

You have a degree in a relevant field and good knowledge of public library operations as well as strong digital skills. You are experienced in starting and driving projects and processes together with others and are comfortable giving presentations in front of a group. You are quality-conscious, results-oriented, and enjoy finding solutions to problems. It is also important that you enjoy collaborating and are open to others' ideas to achieve good results.

You will be part of a base unit with three colleagues and a manager. The base unit is part of the Regional Development Administration, with opportunities to collaborate and work in a stimulating environment focused on the resident.
