We are looking for two socially interested lawyers who want to provide legal support to the county management and core operations by assisting legally in important areas such as crisis and total defense, security protection, administrative law, data protection, and information security.

In this role, you will work at the Legal Secretariat of the County Administrative Board with three other lawyers and our chief legal officer. The Legal Secretariat is part of the county management's office and provides support for the county management as well as other parts of the authority in cross-agency legal matters such as public law, total defense, and security protection, as well as quality assurance of agreements and contracts.

You will, for example, work in the areas of crisis and total defense, security protection, administrative law including public access and confidentiality, data protection, and information security.

• very good ability to express yourself simply and pedagogically in speech and writing.

As a person, you are analytical and enjoy evaluating information to make correct, balanced, and legally secure assessments and priorities. You are receptive and constructive and enjoy collaborating with others. As a lawyer, you are confident in your professional practice, possess personal maturity and integrity, and are accustomed to providing solutions based on the needs, roles, and assignments of the organization. You have an interest in working cross-sectorally and consultatively. We are a small team that works together, and it is important that we all have the will and ability to contribute to a good working environment.

As an employee at the County Administrative Board, you need to:

• have the ability to make decisions considering multiple perspectives,
• understand that a central role for the County Administrative Board is to balance different interests,
• have the ability to prioritize and adapt to work with new tasks or in new contexts.
