We act as a link between people, municipalities, regions, and various agencies. We work to ensure that national goals are implemented in the county. We do this by considering the overall picture in our agency's operations, by disseminating knowledge, and by coordinating and developing various substantive issues. Sustainable development gives the future opportunities in a Södermanland for all.

Do you want to work close to the County Administrative Board's county leadership in a strategic and socially important role with great variety and broad contact areas?

We are now looking for a County Leadership Coordinator who wants to contribute to supporting and developing the work close to the County Governor and the County Council Chairman.

The County Leadership Coordinator works within the County Administrative Board's secretariat, which supports the county leadership and works with overarching issues concerning the County Administrative Board as a whole.

The secretariat coordinates and supports the County Governor's external activities, assignments, and contacts. Internal and external meeting forums, such as the Supervisory Board, the Management Group, the cross-sectoral steering group, and staff information meetings, are also administered here.

Job Responsibilities

As a County Leadership Coordinator, you work closely primarily with the County Governor, but also with the County Council Chairman, in their daily and strategic assignments.

The role involves close cooperation with the County Governor's secretary as well as collaboration with the agency's management group and other parts of the operations. You will also have many external contact areas and represent the operations in various contexts.

As a County Leadership Coordinator, you are organizationally placed directly under the county leadership with the County Council Chairman as your immediate manager. The role offers great opportunities to influence and develop both working methods and content over time.

The work also includes administrative tasks, secretariat support, and practical chores related to the needs of the county leadership.

Travel within and outside the county occurs, sometimes also outside regular working hours, which places demands on flexibility.
