Welcome to Berg Municipality - Municipality of the Year 2024!

Two-thirds of our population live outside our urban areas, and we do not see the municipality's sparsity as a hindrance but as an opportunity! Here you will find magnificent nature close at hand, a strong entrepreneurial spirit, and an active cultural and community life. For those who want the city's offerings and communications, Östersund is just a stone's throw away. The South Sámi culture, reindeer husbandry, and language are an important part of the municipality's identity.

As an employer, all municipal operations rest on our five guiding principles: together, courage, effectiveness, communication, and long-term thinking. Our guiding principles are designed to be our compass and guidance, always promoting trust and a good organizational culture with the citizen in focus.

At bergsliv.se, we have gathered inspiring reports about people living in the municipality and facts about our urban areas. Welcome to find your dream life with us in Berg Municipality!

Norra Berg is entering a strong development phase, and we are looking for someone who wants to lead it!

As a development leader, you will play a key role in shaping the future of housing, business, and infrastructure in one of the municipality's most expansive areas. Here you will combine strategic work with practical coordination, establishment issues, and close dialogue with businesses, residents, and regional actors.

Job Responsibilities

As a development leader, you will have a broad and dynamic assignment. You will, among other things:

• Lead and coordinate development work in Norra Berg, focusing on business, housing, and infrastructure.
• Drive and project manage work related to the Oviken and Hackå areas, in close collaboration with local actors, municipal operations, and Östersund with surrounding municipalities.
• Actively work with business establishments, from the first contact to completed establishment.
• Identify land and premises for commercial development, in collaboration with property owners and businesses, and be an active part of strategic land purchases and development of exploitation areas.
• Build and develop collaboration structures with Region Jämtland Härjedalen, neighboring municipalities, businesses, property companies, and other regional partners.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone with a relevant academic education, for example in urban planning, economics, political science, marketing, or other education/experience that the employer deems equivalent. You have documented experience in project management and coordination, and you have worked with establishment and business issues in previous roles.

The role requires a good understanding of municipal operations and their processes, as well as experience working in complex collaborative environments where many actors need to be coordinated. It is advantageous if you have experience in sales or marketing work and if you have worked within or in close collaboration with a politically governed organization.

Personal Characteristics

To succeed and thrive in the role, you need to be a confident and solution-oriented person who enjoys driving things forward. You are communicative, relationship-building, and thrive in meetings with various actors – from entrepreneurs and property owners to regional partners and colleagues within the municipality. You have strategic thinking and can quickly switch between a holistic perspective and concrete actions. You make things happen!

At the same time, you are structured and have a good ability to plan, prioritize, and keep order even when many processes are running in parallel. You have an interest in the external environment, a service-oriented approach, and build trust through a professional and unpretentious working style.

We Offer

With us, you will have a role where you actually make a difference – for real. As a development leader, you will be a central force in shaping the future of northern Berg Municipality, with great freedom of action and the opportunity to influence both strategically and operationally. You will work closely with engaged entrepreneurs, local development actors, and regional partners, and become part of a team that is passionate about creating sustainable development.

We offer a work environment where ideas are valued, where initiatives are encouraged, and where you have the opportunity to develop in your professional role. You will have flexible working methods, professional development, and colleagues who support you when the pace is high and celebrate when we achieve results. And not least – you will work in a municipality where nature, quality of life, and progress go hand in hand!
