Vacant job

Welcome to Sundsvall Municipality!

Sundsvall Municipality is one of the largest employers in Northern Sweden, with around 8,000 employees and over 300 professions. Together, we fulfill one of society's most important missions – creating utility and value for residents, businesses, and future generations. Regardless of the department, we work towards the same goal: to be a great place to live, work, and thrive.

We are currently in an exciting phase of development. We are a driving force in digital development and artificial intelligence, creating smart solutions for the people of Sundsvall today and in the future.

We are facing major transitions to meet citizens' needs in the long term – would you like to be part of this journey?

Your new workplace

The Committee for Culture and Leisure offers a large and varied range of cultural and leisure opportunities. The purpose is to create quality of life for residents and make Sundsvall an attractive municipality to live, study, work in, and visit. This is achieved through our own operations in areas such as sports, outdoor life, leisure, culture, museums, and libraries, as well as through grants to associations and study associations. The committee also has the municipality's operational safety work, youth democracy work, consumer, energy, budget, and debt counseling, as well as the processing of lottery permits as part of its core mandate.

The administration consists of approximately 300 employees, in addition to about 150 hourly workers. We now need to recruit a Committee Secretary. The workplace is located at the secretariat, which has its office in the Culture Warehouse in central Sundsvall. The secretariat is a small group of currently six people who work closely together despite having very different tasks.

Do you want a qualified, varied, and exciting assignment where you work close to the political organization and have the opportunity to develop case handling processes? Then this might be the right job for you!

How you contribute as a Committee Secretary

As a Committee Secretary, you play a key role in supporting the committee's work while contributing to the development of the democratic decision-making process. You coordinate the committee's work and provide qualified support to both civil servants and elected officials. Your task is to ensure a legally secure, structured, and efficient case and decision-making process. You are responsible for coordinating the committee's case handling, participating in preparatory meetings, writing minutes, and quality-assuring decision materials.

As a Committee Secretary with us, you will work in a team with the administration's registrar and in close collaboration with other colleagues at the administrative office.

Since the secretariat is a small group, the Committee Secretary role will be complemented by other tasks, which may vary over time. You may be assigned to investigate, coordinate, and lead shorter projects and process management for administration-wide assignments.

Your skills and experience

You have a post-secondary education relevant to the position, for example in law, political science, or similar, which is considered relevant for the role. We are looking for you who have experience working as a Committee Secretary and have worked close to politically organized structures and elected officials. Furthermore, you possess high digital competence, including experience with operational systems, document management, and digital collaboration platforms. Previous experience in investigative work, projects, and process management is an advantage.

To succeed in this assignment, your personal qualities are very important, and we will place great emphasis on them in this recruitment. The position requires good teamwork skills and a service-oriented attitude. We want you to be someone who moves your issues forward with commitment and drive, has a natural ability to build trusting relationships, and is happy to share your knowledge to lift both colleagues and the organization.

In addition to your communication skills, you have good knowledge of the Swedish language, enabling you to express yourself clearly and pedagogically in complex issues, both orally and in writing.

It is also important to you to have order and structure, and you thrive in an administrative role where you take responsibility for your tasks and can structure, prioritize, and drive your work both individually and in collaboration with others.
