Our Operations

Decision Support is a unit within the Department of Economy and Control.

As data becomes increasingly important in steering the region's operations, the unit has an important task to support Region Uppsala's operations with data and decision support materials that enable monitoring, analysis, and operational development. These materials are also used for research and reporting to authorities and other external recipients.

We are now looking for an inclusive Unit Manager and Object Manager with experience in leading Business Intelligence (BI).
