There is now an opportunity to work on legislation regarding digitalization and AI (Artificial Intelligence) at the Unit for Digitalization of the Public Administration (DOF) within the Ministry of Finance.

Your working day. Sweden's tomorrow.

The Ministry of Finance's Division for Public Administration (OFA) is responsible for public procurement, state real estate management, state employer and administrative policy, consumer issues, gaming issues, and digitalization policy. The division's Unit for Digitalization of the Public Administration (DOF), together with the Unit for Digital Infrastructure and Security (DIS), is responsible for issues concerning the digitalization of society. This involves policy development and regulations for the digital transition, new digital technologies such as AI, as well as master data, open data, data sharing, and data-driven innovation.

As a legal expert on the unit, you will participate in legislative work regarding various products and ongoing legal issues arising in daily work. You will play a central role in drafting remissions to the Legislative Council, government bills, and writing ordinances, memoranda, and committee mandates. The work also includes reviewing, quality assuring, and preparing proposals for decisions in government cases. Participation in the unit's other work, such as assignments to authorities, preparing materials for political leadership, and joint consultations, may also occur.

We work closely with the other units in the Division for Public Administration, and you are expected to contribute to our collaborations.
