Vacant job

Sweden's resilience is rooted in us. Now we are making it even stronger and are looking for a Director for the Staff Division for Production Coordination in a time of both challenges and opportunities. In this role, you will have a central part in leading, steering, developing, and strengthening a business that literally lays the foundation for Sweden's defense. A task that is more important today than it has been for a long time.

You, as the applicant, think strategically, build relationships, and get things done. Both independently and in collaboration with others.

The Fortification Agency owns, manages, and develops defense properties and facilities that enable the total defense to operate in peacetime, but also in crisis and war. When the international situation challenges Sweden's security, our defense is expanded – and as a result, our mission develops and grows. We are on one of the most significant development journeys in the Agency's history. With unique experience and competence in fortification, protection, and facility technology, we develop advanced and robust environments that create protection, endurance, and freedom of action for the military defense. All at a pace where frequent deliveries are balanced with quality and safety.

Your skills build Sweden's defense

In this rapid development, you as the applicant play a crucial role as a manager and leader. You have a strong focus on leadership and delivery, good ability to build and develop relationships both internally and externally, and see responsibility as a natural part of your job. You are confident in yourself, dare to challenge existing ways of working, ask the right questions, and adapt the solution to the need, whether it involves a tent solution or a CBRN-protected facility.

The Fortification Agency is now establishing geographical area responsibilities in Sweden where the combined real estate and investment portfolio is developed within a given geographical area. To support a national overall picture, this Staff Division for Production Coordination is also established. The goal is to maintain high delivery capacity and proximity to our partners in their daily work.

The division's responsibilities include analysis and preparation of materials to support the Agency's management in prioritizing and balancing between sub-portfolios (geographies) in the short and long term with a focus on national priorities. The division will also assist with aggregated production monitoring from geographies for a national situation picture. The role may involve becoming a manager of subordinate managers.

Your mission is to:

• coordinate, prepare, steer, and coordinate the management group
• receive, assess, and distribute assignments to the correct geography, and continuously handle the overall picture for the Fortification Agency's assignments
• coordinate monitoring of goal achievement and capacity utilization at the geographical level
• prepare cooperation agreements with partners
• serve as the national contact point for our partners.

You report to the Director General. Our headquarters are located in Eskilstuna. The position involves travel within Sweden, and international travel may occur.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who have an academic education that we assess as relevant for the position. You have experience working in a managerial role and are accustomed to leading and achieving results through other managers. You also have experience in coordinating work and have experience with preparation and decision-making processes as well as business planning and economic monitoring.

You have very good knowledge of Swedish and English, both spoken and written, and are accustomed to using administrative support systems. A Class B driver's license is required.

It is meritorious if you have experience working in a defense-related environment or a government agency. It is also an advantage if you have documented good experience in development work and change management, as well as knowledge of information security and public administration.

We will place great emphasis on personal suitability. You are driven and communicative with very good strategic and analytical skills. Your leadership is characterized by clarity in goal descriptions and decisions. You can convey your messages at both the management level and in operational activities. Furthermore, you are structured, have good prioritization skills, and focus on deliveries. You easily create and develop relationships and act professionally in your daily life. You actively contribute to the development of the Agency. We need you who can professionally balance a high level of security awareness with a clear focus on quickly building defense capability through vision and development.
