Together with others, you work to create value with a focus on the customer, based on our societal mission. In your leadership, you enable development and learning by granting mandates and creating ample room for action; you reinforce and follow up on the behaviors and culture needed for us to collectively fulfill our mission.

The department is responsible for population registration, property taxation, registration of estate inventories, marriage registers, European inheritance certificates, and ID cards. The department also has responsibility for the SPAR operational area.

The mission of the development unit is to, on behalf of the department head, drive/lead operational development from need to effect achieved and to support the department in development issues, drive continuous improvements and digital transformation based on customer needs and internal efficiency, as well as support and provide competence for our agile release trains connected to the department's sub-portfolio.

As the head of the development unit, you are also the sub-portfolio owner for the department's sub-portfolio, which is conducted in close collaboration with the IT department.
