At the Swedish Migration Agency, we work with one of the major societal issues of our time – migration. We are a total of about 6,000 people here, and we have an unusually important job!

Do you want to contribute to strengthening the security of one of Sweden's most vital authorities? At the Security Department of the Migration Agency, you will play a central role in driving and coordinating the work with operational and security protection close to the operational activities.

The Security Department of the Migration Agency is part of the headquarters and has overall responsibility for security and preparedness within the authority. Specialists work within the Security Department with information security, physical security, personnel security, crisis preparedness, civil defense, internal investigations, employee protection, and other security issues ranging from operational protection to security protection.

Main Responsibilities

As a security coordinator, you will work in the department's unit for preparedness and security coordination. In your role, you will primarily focus on operational protection issues related to the authority's detention and accommodation activities. Emphasis will be placed on supporting the operations in the development of security-related measures and routines. This includes measures related to both employee protection and physical security. In your role, you will also be responsible for investigating incidents as well as follow-up and control. You will collaborate both internally and externally. You will also serve as support to managers in management groups and be the point of contact for security issues within the department.

You will work closely with other security and preparedness coordinators. Together, you will work towards alignment and ensure that the department's coordinating and supporting tasks are in sync.

The position includes regular business trips, and standby duty may be required.
