Welcome to create the future together with us! We are now looking for a digital communicator for a stimulating and developing position with a lot of variation at our communications office. The communications office is a unit within the area of Culture, Communication, and Service. We are a small organization with a broad, municipality-wide mission, which places high demands on the ability to work independently and with great flexibility.

Job Description

As a communicator with us, you will work both strategically and operationally. Your tasks mainly consist of working practically with the web as well as visual and digital channels. You will work independently to plan, gather, and produce information in text, photo, and video content for our internal and external channels. You will also participate in strategic work with communication plans and initiatives in collaboration with the municipality's various operations.

You are responsible for the communications office's system management, including implementation, development, and ongoing management of, for example, CMS and image bank.

The role also involves continuous work with communication – from planning and publishing to quality assurance of content. You will create video material for social channels and support, if necessary, with tasks such as image management, simpler graphic production, and communication planning.

It is an advantage if you:

• have experience leading and driving development projects within digital communication, such as platform migrations, implementation of new modules or systems.
• are accustomed to working with content structure and metadata to ensure that information is easily accessible and accurate.
• are curious about and use AI tools as support in idea generation, content production, and optimization.
• have experience working in the public sector.

As a person, we believe you:

• are social and comfortable in meeting people. You enjoy collaborating with different functions in the municipality and communicate clearly and transparently with our citizens.
• are curious, unpretentious, and solution-oriented and are eager to try new formats and tools.
