Job Advertisement: Administrator for Governance and Strategic Development

Do you want to help create order, quality, and development in an organization that contributes to a water-wise world? At the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI), you have the chance to step into a key role where you become the hub for governance, management support, and strategic development. No two days are the same, and you will work closely with both the board and management.

SIWI's vision is to contribute to a world where water is used sustainably, fairly, and efficiently by people, communities, and the planet. SIWI works globally with research, policies, and collaboration to find solutions to some of the greatest challenges of our time. Here, you will be part of creating real change in an organization characterized by commitment, curiosity, and a strong desire to make a difference.

This role is for you who enjoy switching between high-level and low-level tasks. One moment you are an administrator ensuring everything runs smoothly, the next you are thinking proactively and contributing to the organization's long-term development. You will report to the CFO and work closely with the entire management team.

Lena Österman, CFO, says: “Our work environment is characterized by openness, lack of prestige, and a warm team spirit. We are a small, dynamic team where there is room for both laughter and a strong focus.”

Your responsibilities will include:

• Coordinating and administering the board's work, including planning meetings, preparing agendas, and minutes.
• Being the contact person for authorities and ensuring that we comply with applicable regulations and policies.
• Developing and managing governing documents, internal guidelines, and processes.
• Supporting the Executive Director in strategic matters, operational planning, and reporting.
• Handling both daily administrative tasks and long-term development projects.

We are looking for someone who is meticulous and structured, but also flexible and unpretentious. You enjoy switching between strategic and operational work and find it easy to build trust with both colleagues and external parties.

You have a relevant academic background and several years of experience in governance, compliance, or board support, preferably from foundations, authorities, or non-profit/international organizations.

Do you want to help create order, quality, and development in an organization that makes a difference? Here you will have the opportunity to grow, influence, and contribute to something greater, for a water-wise world.
