Your work will involve the entire organization's information management, which is largely characterized by sensitive personal data. We are looking for someone who is interested in making complex regulations simple and practical to follow and understand in daily work.

The position is full-time and is a permanent employment with placement at the headquarters at Hötorget in central Stockholm. Here you will work in modern and pleasant premises with engaged colleagues. We look forward to your application!

The collaboration also includes other specialists such as information security officers and information managers.

The main tasks include:

• Developing the management of the rights of the data subjects
