Lawyer in Security Protection

As a lawyer in security protection, you will work with issues that are crucial for both Sweden's security and the trust in essential societal operations. In this role, you will have a particular focus on personnel security and contribute to ensuring that the right competence, protection, and processes are in place. We are now looking for someone who wants to take an active responsibility in an area that is becoming increasingly important for society.

We work with what everyone takes for granted. The ability to communicate. With us, you will ensure that it works now and in the future. For everyone.

About the Unit

The Security Protection Unit works to secure and protect Sweden's security, both within the Swedish Post and Telecom Authority's own operations and with actors in electronic communication. Security protection is an area of increasing importance in society, and electronic communication is central to the functioning of society – while the area is characterized by rapid development and change.

We are an experienced and committed team with both legal and technical expertise, which gives us good conditions to handle both operational and strategic issues. Here, there is a non-prestigious work climate where collaboration, knowledge sharing, and legal certainty are in focus, and where you will have the opportunity to influence both work methods and results.

I, Henrik Christiansson, lead the unit. As a manager, I am trustworthy and believe in open collaboration without prestige. I work to create a safe and inclusive work environment where we work towards common goals, while you have the space to take responsibility and grow in your role.
