Your Responsibilities

Exciting work regarding digitalization is underway at the Västervik Municipality Group. To support this work, we are now creating a new cohesive unit for IT and digitalization.

You will interpret and implement laws and regulations such as NIS2 and GDPR. You will support, inform, and advise departments and companies regarding information security and data protection issues.

An important part of the assignment is to work from an all-risk perspective by collaboratively identifying and managing risks that could affect the municipality's information systems and critical societal services. In this work, you will coordinate the two group-wide working groups: the Information Security Group and the GDPR Group.

Examples of responsibilities include:

• Develop, implement, and maintain strategic documents and guidelines, and create conditions for management, operational managers, and employees to carry out security work in their operations.

To thrive and succeed in the role, you have the ability to work across the entire group and see the big picture and synergies between different projects and operations. You drive the work independently and take your own initiatives by developing ideas for ways of working on your own. You weigh complex information and various types of considerations. It is required that you have a sensitive approach and very good collaboration skills when it comes to cooperating with others within and outside our municipal organization.

You have a willingness to work with improvement work and a great interest in building processes from the ground up. You can build relationships, enthuse, and collaborate with others to achieve set goals. You plan activities and projects well in advance and work systematically, organized, and methodically with both strategic and operational issues. It is important that you have good communication skills so that you receive and convey information both orally and in writing in a clear manner.
