The assignments are carried out independently and together with colleagues, with sensitivity to the needs of the operations, to ensure quality and develop the services.

As a business developer, you will work broadly across the entire administration, as well as in cross-organizational assignments as needed. You will drive and support strategic and operational development and implementation work from a process-oriented perspective.

About the workplace

You will belong to the development unit where our central resources for business development, system management, committee administration, security, and premises supply are located.
