Senior Strategic Communicator

When communication must hold – in everyday life, during change, and under pressure – we turn to you!

We are looking for a senior strategic communicator who wants to take overall responsibility for internal communication, management communication, press and media, crisis communication, and employer branding, and who thrives close to management and operations. Do you want to make a difference through communication that really matters?

Work as a communicator

As a senior communicator with us, you are the hub of our communication. You work closely with management and managers, support the organization in change, and ensure that our messages are clear, credible, and trust-building.

You are interested in new digital tools and are eager to use new tools, channels, and techniques to develop communication and reach out in a more effective and relevant way. You will belong to our communications group, which works together to support the organization in various types of communication issues.

Your mission will be to work with everything from strategic communication planning and campaigns to writing texts and working with social media.

Your tasks include, among others:

• Creating communication and marketing plans
• Supporting projects and management teams in communication issues, such as developing messaging platforms and communication plans
• Developing guidelines related to communication
• Planning, executing, and following up on campaigns
• Writing and editing various types of texts, customer letters, social media posts, and press releases
• Publishing posts and ads on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn and evaluating these efforts

You are part of our communications group that supports the organization in both internal and external communication.

Your focus will be on:

• Internal Communication: You build structure, pace, and clarity in our internal channels. You ensure that the right things reach the right people – and that communication actually contributes to engagement, understanding, and direction.
• Press, PR, and Media: You are responsible for our relationship with the media – from press releases and proactive press work to interviews, media contacts, and media training. When we are visible, it should feel thoughtful and secure.
• Employer Branding: Together with HR and operations, you strengthen our image as an employer – from the inside out. What we say outwardly needs to reflect how it actually feels and works internally.
• Crisis Communication: When something happens, you are the calm in the room. You provide advice, create structure, and ensure that communication is clear, cohesive, and trust-building – even under pressure.
• Management Communication: You are a strategic sounding board for management and managers. You help formulate messages, explain decisions, and create communication that ties together strategy, culture, and everyday life.

Your profile

You are an experienced communicator with a solid background in strategic communication work. You know how organizations work – for real – and you are eager to take responsibility for driving the work forward with both engagement and independence.

You are comfortable giving advice to management, experienced in handling media, and skilled at translating complex issues into understandable and relevant communication.

At the same time, you thrive in collaborations and work well in teams, where you like to contribute and build relationships. You have the ability to communicate at multiple levels in the organization – from employees to management – and adapt your message according to the audience and context.

You enjoy combining strategic thinking with hands-on work, and you like when communication makes a real difference.

You who apply have:

• A degree in communication or work experience that we assess as equivalent
• Several years of experience in strategic communication with broad competence in internal communication and management communication
• Good experience in press, PR, and media work
• Experience in crisis and change communication
• Very good knowledge of the Swedish language in speech and writing
• Driver's license (B)

It is meritorious if you have:

• Experience from critical societal operations or the energy sector
• Experience coaching managers in communication

In this recruitment, we will place great emphasis on your personal qualities.
