We offer you a stimulating position with engaged employees and colleagues.
As unit head, you have budget and operational responsibility as well as personnel responsibility for the unit's employees. Your leadership style is close, communicative, and coaching.

Your role includes leading the unit's change work and, for example, implementing new ways of working and processes.
You are part of the operational area's management group, which consists of four other unit heads and the operational area manager, who is also the agency's chief legal counsel. Together, we create conditions for uniform and effective application of law within the agency. We achieve results together, and you are an important part of the team.
The operational area's employees are located in different parts of the country. The work location is flexible within Stockholm, Uppsala, and other offices near the Gävle region, but with a need for regular presence at the Gävle office.
