You work strategically and operationally with business issues in Lysekil Municipality and are responsible for the goal of developing a good business climate.

At the department, we work together and share responsibility for certain assignments, but we also have our different areas of expertise, meaning the work is also independent.

Dialogue is important to you, and you have an easy way of communicating, inspiring, and creating engagement around business issues.
