Emergency Management Officer at the Capability Planning Unit

As an Emergency Management Officer at the Capability Planning Unit, you will help strengthen Sweden's civil preparedness – for real. Together with colleagues and partners, you contribute to ensuring that society functions even in times of crisis and heightened readiness. We are now looking for someone who wants to take an active responsibility in a mission of great societal importance.

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.

The Capability Planning Unit works with long-term orientation, analysis, and coordination of the preparedness sector's capability development and exercises. This means that we plan, develop, and follow up on the capabilities required for society's electronic communication and postal services to function during disruptions, crises, and heightened readiness. The work is carried out in close collaboration with other authorities, the business sector, and international actors.

We are a committed and skilled team with a broad background in technology, analysis, political science, and preparedness. Here, we have an open and unpretentious work climate where collaboration, development, and societal benefit are in focus. You will have great opportunities to influence both direction, methods, and results.

I will be your manager, Rita Hammarstedt. As a manager, I strive for us to work as a team where we leverage each other's competencies, strengths, and interests, thus creating value for our authority, our sector, and Sweden together. I care about giving employees the space to independently drive issues within their area of responsibility. Through close dialogue and appreciation, I build a team where everyone is motivated to contribute.
