We do this by driving, coordinating, and following up on several of Gothenburg's strategic programs and action plans with the goal of making Gothenburg an ecologically sustainable city by 2030. The department is responsible for environmental monitoring in various areas and contributes to Gothenburg's planning process. We provide the basis for political decisions based on the latest knowledge, such as research and measurements in the field, and our analyses of the same. We collaborate with other municipalities, authorities, academia, and businesses, as well as participate in various development projects.

We are looking for a colleague for strategic work on issues concerning nature, ecology, and biodiversity with a focus on terrestrial environments. You will be part of various working groups to drive the city's green issues and also work independently on investigations and development work based on the administration's political mandate.

The assignment requires you to be analytical and possess strong communication skills. You are able to see connections and draw logical conclusions from limited and/or complex information.
