Your role

In the role of Project Manager, your main assignment will be to drive projects for welfare technology in the city's special housing for people with disabilities. You will have a coordinating role within the welfare technology area to create better conditions and solutions for our users and staff. You work across organizational boundaries to reduce administration, share specialized competencies, and test innovative solutions. The collaboration extends across specialist administrations, district administrations, and other actors who in different ways are part of welfare.

Your tasks will include among other things:

• Inventory work on what is happening within welfare technology in Stockholm City and what has been done previously in the area.
• Conducting needs analysis for our activities – what do the activities need and how can we support them in the best way?
• Collaborating closely with internal project managers but also with other relevant actors such as IT, suppliers, and operations.
• Supporting the district administrations in the implementation of welfare technology.

Your competence and experience

We are looking for you who have:

• Several years of experience as a project manager/business developer or experience from another profession that we assess as equivalent and relevant.
• Post-secondary education in, for example, project management or other post-secondary education that we assess as relevant for the tasks.
• Worked within LSS/SoL/HVB (Housing with Special Care for Young Persons in Need of Special Support) or a related area and have a good understanding of the target group.
• Very good knowledge of Swedish in speech and writing.

We consider it meritorious if you have:

• Several years of experience in similar tasks.
• Good knowledge of Stockholm City or other politically governed activities.

Since this is a completely new role with us, we are looking for you who are not afraid to shape your own role and are attracted by the challenges and opportunities that come with this.

We place great emphasis on the following personal competencies:

You create security by being stable, clear, and trustworthy in change work. You have the ability to work independently, take responsibility for your projects, and drive the work forward even when conditions change.

With your holistic view, you see how technology, operations, and the individual's needs are connected, and you make decisions that work in practice for both users and operations. You are a skilled communicator who can explain things simply and adapt your message to the recipient.

The work also requires good collaboration skills. You enjoy working together with different professional groups, such as users, care staff, IT specialists, and suppliers, and contribute to an open and solution-focused working climate.
