Description

The Culture Administration of the Region of Västra Götaland (VGR) has been awarded ESF funds for digital competence development within the museum and library sector in West Sweden. The project runs for two years and consists of five competence development modules totaling 116 hours. The modules are designed to meet employees' individual competence development needs and cover areas such as basic digital competence, leadership and change management, digital pedagogy, digital communication, and open and linked data. Approximately 670 people are participating in the project. Participants have different professional roles, prior knowledge, and needs, and therefore only participate in relevant modules.

The project starts in autumn 2026. Initially, the project, learning modules, and communication will be planned. Thereafter, the competence-enhancing measures will begin.

We are now looking for a project manager responsible for planning, leading, and monitoring the implementation of the project. This is a central role where you will create structure, drive development, and contribute to strengthening competence within the museum and library sector in West Sweden.

• ensuring that the project is implemented in accordance with goals, schedule, budget, and requirements from the funder

• leading and supporting the project group in daily work
• monitoring results, indicators, and quality in the project's various measures
• responsible for reporting, follow-up, and materials for steering and decision-making
• contributing to the development of the project's working methods, collaboration, and learning
• ensuring good communication between the project's actors

The workplace is located in Gothenburg. Travel within the region may be included.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who have post-secondary education in project management, pedagogy, communication, or another relevant field. Other education or experience considered equivalent may also be relevant.

It is meritorious if you have experience of:

• work within public operations or politically governed organizations
• leading educational initiatives or competence development projects
• follow-up, reporting, and result-based management in larger projects

Personal Competencies

You are a confident and clear leader who creates engagement, direction, and good collaborations. You work in a structured and results-oriented manner, while also having the ability to see the big picture, quality, and details. You are responsible, communicative, and solution-oriented, and thrive in a role where you drive the work forward together with others.
