With us, you will have the opportunity to help shape the future of migration operations. You will have a meaningful and socially important managerial role in an organization characterized by development, change, and significant responsibility. You will lead managers with high competence and strong commitment in a workplace where participation, collaboration, and development are central.

Your Workplace

Region North has approximately 2,000 employees and is one of the agency's three regions. The operations in the region encompass all types of the agency's case categories and detention centers and are organized into 9 sections, about 90 units, and a regional office. The region is based in Sundbyberg, with operations from Flen to Boden. In the coming years, significant changes will occur in many of the Migration Agency's areas, and the organization will continuously be adjusted and changed to provide the best possible conditions for development.

Your Mission

As a section manager, you have a central role in leading and developing an organization in constant change, in accordance with the Migration Agency's operational plan and strategies. You are responsible for creating an efficient and sustainable organization and ensuring that the units within the section achieve set goals, with a good working environment.

You are responsible for leading the section's management team, which includes the section's unit managers. As a section manager, you provide the unit managers with the conditions to carry out their respective unit assignments and ensure continuous operational development within the section and the region.

You work closely with the unit managers and take their support in your work as you lead and develop the section, both in the daily and long-term perspective. You ensure that there are conditions for participation, collaboration, and that the goals are implemented, realized, and followed up.

You have overall responsibility for personnel, budget, and working environment, report to the regional director, and are part of the regional management team. You contribute your commitment and competence to develop the operational activities in Region North as a whole. You also participate in one or more cross-agency operational management teams within the activities you are responsible for. There, you ensure together with section managers from other regions that the operations are conducted efficiently and legally, and develop to meet future needs.
