The Discrimination Ombudsman (DO) is looking for communicators

The Discrimination Ombudsman (DO) is seeking two communicators with experience in external communication in the form of campaigns, large events, digital events, concepts, publications, and social media.

We are looking for someone who wants to be part of the work for a society free from discrimination. The positions are permanent. You will work in the communications unit and report to the section head for production and projects.

DO is a growing authority and is expected to grow further in the coming years as a result of Sweden's implementation of the EU directive on pay transparency.

The communications unit is responsible for the authority's strategic and ongoing internal and external communication activities. The mission includes providing practical and strategic support in communication matters to managers and employees. The unit has three sections, one of which handles communication production and projects, one for press and media, and one section that works with communication support and websites.

The projects may involve communication within government assignments, production of information campaigns, and coordination of larger events. The work also includes advising managers and employees on communication issues. You create content and publish in our digital channels, such as social media and websites. You participate in procurement and maintain contact with our communication agencies, film production companies, and other suppliers. You work independently or in teams with colleagues.
