About the position

In the role of staff officer, you will be responsible for supporting the board and the director general in leading and managing the authority. You will coordinate both the dialogue with the Government Offices and the authority's views on new government assignments, regulatory letters, and consultations. Furthermore, you will help develop the authority's internal routines regarding the responsibilities of the director general's staff, for example, in preparing cases. You will plan, coordinate, and prepare materials for meetings with the board, the director general, and their management group, as well as prepare materials in cross-authority governance and strategic issues, including the authority's annual budget documentation.

The E-Health Agency is an authority in growth and change, which gives you the opportunity to contribute to developing the agency's governance and working methods. You will collaborate with many functions within the agency as well as with external actors, primarily the Government Offices. This makes you a central player and gives you insight into the agency's entire operations. The director general's staff consists of a total of five employees, and the department has about 65 employees.

About you

You take responsibility for your own work and drive processes while creating engagement and participation among colleagues. You have a good overall perspective and a broad, strategic view of your tasks.
