• leading and participating in development projects related to archive issues and information management
• developing governing documents such as archive descriptions, classification structures, preservation lists, handling instructions
• organizing, caring for, and cataloging archives according to applicable regulations.
• representing the municipality in regional networks on archive issues.

QUALIFICATIONS

• an academic education that we consider relevant, e.g., archive or information science

It is advantageous if you have:

To thrive and succeed in the role, you are self-driven and structured, pushing your work forward with clear direction and a good ability to prioritize. You are development-oriented and enjoy working proactively, taking initiative, and contributing to improvements. You find it easy to collaborate with others, build good relationships, and communicate in a clear, pedagogical, and unpretentious manner. You are service-oriented, solution-focused, and confident in providing support to both employees and managers on information security issues.
