Position as Business Developer

The position as Business Developer is organized within the unit for sustainable transition at the Social and Labor Market Administration and is a project employment until 2026-12-31. The unit for sustainable transition creates conditions for change throughout the Social and Labor Market Administration. We are building the future social services by enabling transition, development, and co-creation. Our work is focused on making services more accessible and even more needs-driven – together with employees and residents. What we do every day creates value for those we meet – and we strive to make a real difference in people's lives.

You step into an important phase where we both develop and strengthen our work within the framework of various transition efforts such as the municipality's growth goals and social sustainability. This is an opportunity for you who want to contribute to something greater and be part of an engaged context with both heart and drive.

Your New Job

We are now looking for an engaged and driven person, and we are curious about how you would like to contribute to the development of future social services? What would you like to contribute to shape a social service characterized by trust, accessibility, and a strong focus on those we are here for?

You will need to be the spider in the web – a person who enjoys service, co-creation, and has their own drive.
