The job also involves many contacts, both with colleagues within the department and with other County Administrative Boards. The IT department of the County Administrative Boards is expanding, and the IAM/IGA area is growing, which means you need to be open to the possibility that your tasks may change over time.

As a person, you have good collaboration skills and contribute to the team's cohesion and development. You enjoy having many contacts and have a well-developed ability to communicate with both IT colleagues and staff in the business in an open, responsive, and transparent dialogue.

To succeed in the role, you also need to have a strong drive and a willingness to learn new things. You are completely self-sufficient in your working style and drive your assignments and tasks forward. At the same time, you are persistent and patient, understanding that processes can sometimes take longer than planned.

As our colleagues are spread across many locations in Sweden, we work extensively with digital meetings, and you should feel comfortable with this virtual working method.
