The project has received government funding from the Efficiency Delegation.

In the second project with the region's new website, you will work with target group analyses, needs analysis, and content. You will be part of a cross-functional project team within the communication and collaboration area.

To succeed, it is important that you are communicative, unpretentious, and enjoy working in a team. Additionally, you need to be able to work at a fast pace, work independently, and navigate a complex organization.
