About the Workplace

The mandate of the Municipal Executive Office is to lead, coordinate, and follow up on the municipality's operations. We ensure that the municipality functions efficiently and that residents receive the services they need, while supporting elected officials and departments.

The Secretariat Unit is part of the Support and Development division, which brings together several central functions such as HR, IT, security, communication, contact center, and secretariat. Together, we create the conditions for a modern, legally secure, and efficient municipal operation.

At the secretariat, committee secretaries, lawyers, registrars, archivists, and system administrators work closely with the operations and play an important role in developing efficient, modern, and legally secure processes.

With us, you get to work proactively, contribute to development – and have real influence over how the work is shaped.

• A law degree (Jur. Cand. or equivalent)

It is meritorious if you have:

Personal qualities we are looking for

To thrive and succeed in the role, you need to have good structure and high quality in your work, be self-initiating but also team-oriented. You should be confident, communicative, and service-oriented, have the ability to prioritize and handle varying tasks, and be solution-oriented and see opportunities in change.

Great importance will be attached to personal suitability.
