In the role, you are expected to build and develop a broad network of contacts, both within and outside your own organization, to create good cooperation and efficient working methods. You have great freedom to plan and shape your work based on an overall situation picture and work to strengthen the Swedish Armed Forces' materiel availability.

Personal qualities

To thrive and succeed in the role, you have good cooperation skills and feel secure working with many contact areas. You easily create and develop good relationships and thrive in a coordinating role where cooperation is a natural part of everyday life. You are proactive, structured, and have the ability to turn ideas into action. At the same time, you are receptive, judicious, and take responsibility for both your tasks and the whole. The role also requires a service-oriented attitude and good analytical skills, where you can identify risks, foresee developments, and act proactively to prevent undesirable situations.

Information about the Swedish Armed Forces and the recruiting unit

The Swedish Armed Forces are undergoing extensive development work to build a stronger defense against the background of a deteriorating international situation and a new defense policy direction focusing on national defense. Leadership for a stronger defense aims to increase robustness, simplify command and control relationships, and increase the prerequisites for mission tactics through decentralization of mandates and responsibilities.

In the Swedish Armed Forces, there is a strong value base built on openness, results, and responsibility. Professional development and personal health are valued and encouraged. There are good conditions for internal career mobility, wellness programs, and a good balance between work and private life. An employment with us involves placement in a security class. Swedish citizenship is usually required.

A security investigation with register check will be conducted before employment according to Chapter 3 of the Security Protection Act. Employment entails an obligation to be war-placed. The employment also includes an obligation to serve abroad. The meaning of this varies depending on the type of position.
