Your role

As a strategist with a focus on contract management, you will be part of the procurement and monitoring unit, which consists of inspectors, quality observers, and strategists. Together with managers and colleagues within the administration, you will drive the quality work forward. Your tasks will include participating in procurements according to LOV and LOU and managing contracts within home care, which requires active collaboration with both internal and external contacts. In the role of contract manager, you will follow up to ensure that the city's elderly receive elderly care that is safe, of good quality, and conducted in accordance with laws, regulations, and agreements.

As a strategist in the department, you will also be responsible for responding to correspondence and referrals within the operational area, participating in networks and other collaboration forums based on specific areas of expertise, and presenting the unit's work in various forums. You will be part of a team with several strategists, but the role also places high demands on your ability to independently prioritize and plan your work, as well as structure and administer tasks in several different systems.

Your skills and experience

We are looking for someone who has:

• A minimum of a three-year university degree in a relevant field
• Several years of experience working in the field of elderly care
• Several years of experience working in a politically governed organization
• Good system skills
• Very good ability to express yourself in Swedish, both orally and in writing

We consider it meritorious if you have:

• Experience in conducting procurements
• Experience in contract management
• Experience in quality development

To succeed in this role, you need to have a genuine interest and commitment to elderly care issues. As a person, we see that you are communicative and collaborative with the ability to adapt your communication to the situation. You are used to and enjoy having many contact points and building relationships and networks. Since the role involves a lot of administration, it is important that you enjoy independently planning, structuring, and administering while being able to balance these tasks with more ad-hoc matters.
