Vacant job

At present, the 135th Security Squadron is recruiting a Logistics Officer for the position of Section Chief, Logistics Section.

The 135th Security Squadron operates within the military security service, with a primary focus on gathering security intelligence to indicate and identify suspected security threats against the Swedish Armed Forces' protected values.

In this role, you will work on a highly relevant task with a constantly changing threat landscape. The work is long-term and conducted with a high degree of discretion. As a person, you should be structured, results-oriented, and possess a strong ability for creative thinking.

Main Responsibilities

The daily work primarily involves resource allocation for exercises, training, and operations. An important part of the role is also the development of operations within your future area of responsibility. Furthermore, you will lead, be responsible for, and develop your section, with direct personnel responsibility.

Desired Personal Qualities

We place great emphasis on personal qualities and are looking for someone who is confident, has a strong sense of responsibility, and good initiative. Additionally, you should have a high stress tolerance and be accustomed to changing environments, as the operational task is very dynamic.

As an employee, you are expected to take initiative and be able to translate the meaning of your own decisions, as well as evaluate their consequences in a broader operational context. You should be able to work autonomously without direct supervision and make decisions based on previously established frameworks that constantly strive towards the overall goal.

We see you as someone who unites a group and contributes to the development of others in a non-hierarchical manner, where individual differences and competencies are strengthened to build a cohesive and effective whole.

Since you will handle security-classified information and the work as a whole is subject to significant confidentiality, we look for a person with high personal maturity and strong integrity who is not driven by a need for external validation.
