Communicator within Society Expo

Do you want to work in an environment where courage, collaboration, and optimism for the future are a natural part of everyday life – while also having a role where you create content and help shape one of the municipality's most exciting initiatives? Are you passionate about communication, storytelling, and building strong messages that engage? Then the role of communicator within Society Expo might be just right for you. Here, you will be involved in developing the future of Skellefteå, driving creative processes, and contributing to highlighting a societal development that sparks interest and inspiration both locally and nationally.

YOUR ROLE

As a communicator within Society Expo, you will have a broad and varied assignment where you combine strategic thinking with operational execution. You will be responsible for planning, producing, and developing communication efforts that clearly reflect the project's vision and goals. The role requires creativity, curiosity, and the ability to create content that resonates — while also managing many parallel processes. You will work closely with colleagues within Skellefteå municipality and the municipal group, as well as our contracted agencies, and be an important link in collaborations with business, civil society, and academia. Your daily work consists of driving communication projects from idea to finished result, developing and quality-assuring content for digital platforms, and ensuring that communication meets high standards and targets the right audience. You will lead content production for web, social media, and digital press rooms, and play a key role in creating and distributing messages that showcase Skellefteå's journey — both for us who live here and for national and international actors. In close collaboration with the communication team, you will also be responsible for ensuring that internal and external communication is cohesive and reinforces each other.

As the project develops, the assignment may also change. You are expected to take initiative, see new opportunities, and contribute to the development of communication work over time.

YOUR COMPETENCE AND EXPERIENCE

We are looking for someone with experience in driving and project-managing communication efforts from planning to execution, preferably with a focus on digital solutions. You have post-secondary education in communication, media, marketing, or equivalent competence that provides you with the right tools for the role. You are a skilled communicator who can confidently express yourself in both Swedish and English, and who thrives in a role where you meet many different target groups. You are curious, proactive, and have an easy time building relationships — whether collaborating with internal colleagues, companies, or external partners. To succeed in the role, you need to be self-driven, structured, and comfortable in environments where conditions can change. You take responsibility, see the big picture, and are used to working with actors from both the public and private sectors.

YOUR NEW WORKPLACE

You will be part of the municipal executive office at Skellefteå municipality, where we are driving the time-limited project Society Expo (2023–2026). Here, we work together across borders in a culture characterized by courage, optimism for the future, and high ambition. The project is about creating new collaborations, testing ideas, and showcasing Skellefteå's unique development journey — both locally and globally.

As a communicator, you will have a role with significant influence over how we tell our story and how we engage the world in it. You are part of a project that makes a difference, sparks curiosity, and helps shape the image of the future Skellefteå.

GOOD TO KNOW

The position is located at the municipal executive office and is time-limited during the project period. You will report to the Expo manager. The employment is time-limited for six months. Selection will take place continuously during the application period.

Warm welcome with your application — to a workplace where the future is created every day.
