Interim Security Manager in Gothenburg

We are currently seeking an interim security manager for a consulting assignment with our client in Gothenburg. Do you have several years of experience as an operational manager, preferably within security-related tasks? We warmly welcome you to submit your application!

Background

The Security Section at the Service Unit of the university currently consists of 16 employees, an acting security manager/section manager, and a vacant position for a deputy section manager. Recruitment for a permanent security manager is underway.

The section is responsible for developing and managing government-wide security issues related to physical security, personnel security, crisis management, security protection, systematic fire protection, and crisis preparedness at both strategic and operational levels. This is done through an active and systematic approach aimed at:

• Ensuring that the University of Gothenburg provides a safe working and study environment for employees, students, and visitors, and is a secure partner
• Protecting the university's material and immaterial values
• Safeguarding the trust in the university

The section is currently in a phase of intensive operational development on several levels. New agreements have been procured, leading to new working methods and routines within the operational area, which requires continuous dialogue and follow-up with various stakeholders and operations. The section has also introduced Scrum as an agile working method for operational development, which means that many employees have taken on new roles and are more involved in continuous improvement work. A consultant has been procured as an agile coach to lead and assist in the implementation.
