Job Description

Do you want to contribute to secure, transparent, and efficient information management in a municipal operation? Do you thrive in a role where development, advisory services, strategy, and operational archival work are included? Then this might be the job for you.

As a Municipal Archivist, you will be involved in all of the Municipal Archive's areas of work, which includes, for example, official duties, advisory services, strategic, and practical archival work.

You will also be involved in the work with both the existing electronic archive and the project to purchase a new electronic archive. The new e-archive is planned to be introduced during 2027.

The Municipal Archive's analog collection of approximately 2,500 shelf meters is temporarily stored in a depot in Upplands-Väsby. The depot is managed by a contracted supplier. Retrievals and certain other archive handling are done upon request by the Municipal Archive staff. Travel to Upplands-Väsby may occur, although currently, this has only involved occasional visits per year.

Your duties include, among other things:

• providing advice within archive and information management,
• processing requests for access to public documents and conducting confidentiality assessments,
• supervising to ensure that boards comply with the requirements of the Archive Act,
• receiving analog and digital archives from the municipality's boards,
• working with strategic information management issues, such as developing/updating municipality-wide guiding documents/guidelines within the archive area,
• performing certain cataloging work, and
• developing the Municipal Archive's processes and routines.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who have:

• an academic degree in archival science or other education that the employer considers equivalent,
• experience working in public archival operations,
• relevant knowledge of public access and archive legislation,
• very good ability to express yourself in Swedish, both orally and in writing.

It is meritorious if you have:

• knowledge of e-archives,
• experience working with large archive collections, and
• a B-driver's license.

To succeed in the role, you are confident in your professional role and have the ability to make well-founded assessments even in complex situations. You work independently, take responsibility for your tasks, and drive the work forward with your own initiative. You have a good ability to plan, prioritize, and organize your work effectively.

Since the role involves many contact points, it is important that you collaborate well with others and communicate in a clear and professional manner.

Employment type: Permanent position.
Duration: Start date: By agreement.
