Vacant job

Do you want to make a societal impact and strengthen Sweden's collective ability to handle cyber threats? The National Cyber Security Centre, NCSC, is now looking for a strategist with EU policy expertise to help build the centre's operations at the Swedish Defence Intelligence Agency (FRA). If you are the one we are looking for, we offer varied work in a knowledge-intensive environment where you can make a difference every day.

Your Role

As a strategist with EU policy expertise, you work at NCSC within the Office for Capability Development, Partnerships, and Systematic Cyber Security. The office aims to strengthen and coordinate society's cyber security by serving as a national meeting place and contact point for cooperation, partnerships, and information exchange. The office's mandate includes strategic analysis, regulatory and governance work, support and funding, competence-building initiatives and exercises, as well as national, EU, and international cooperation. The office also plays a supporting role in cyber crisis management.

In the role of strategist, you operate at the intersection where EU cyber security regulations meet Sweden's needs and operational reality. With a focus on the NIS2 Directive and related EU initiatives, you translate complex requirements into governance, decisions, and working methods that function in practice.

You switch between strategic and operational work, analyzing what the regulations entail and making them understandable and applicable within the organization. As the contact point for NIS2 and other EU-related cyber security issues, you work closely with incoming cases within cyber security advisory services, where each question requires analysis, a holistic perspective, and strong judgment.

At the same time, you drive cooperation between public and private actors across sector and national borders. You represent both the Swedish Civil Contingencies Agency (MSB) and NCSC in dialogues, meetings, and presentations, contributing to creating a common direction in an area that is constantly evolving. Through your work, you strengthen Sweden's cyber security capabilities.

Travel is part of the position, both domestic and international.

• An academic degree in a relevant field for the position
• At least 3 years of experience in policy development and legal-related issues
• Experience in making trade-offs, handling goal conflicts, and strategic decision-making
• Basic knowledge of cyber security
• The ability to express yourself in speech and writing in Swedish and English

We consider it meritorious if you have:

• A completed law degree
• Good experience with EU policy in the cyber area, as well as EU funding and EU coordination
• Experience working with or participating in negotiations, for example regarding new legislation
• Experience implementing new legislation
• Documented experience expressing yourself in speech and writing in Swedish and English

Personal Qualities

We will place great emphasis on your personal qualities. For us, it is important that you enjoy collaborating and can relate to others in a smooth and open manner. We are looking for a person who is both independent and proactive – someone who takes ownership of their tasks and drives them forward. If you are also flexible and see changes as an opportunity, you will thrive here.
