Job Description

We are now looking for you who want to work as a Development Manager in the specialist area of data protection in Sweden's largest administration for functional support!

We are looking for you who are interested in data protection, information security, and issues regarding privacy, IT, and digitalization, and who want to become part of an engaged information security team consisting of development managers within information security and digitalization, a data protection contact within IT, an administrative lawyer, a manager responsible for information security, and the administration's IT director.

You will work closely with the operations, spread knowledge, and be a support in the systematic data protection and information security work. You work supportively within the area of information security together with your colleagues and are part of networks with specialists from other administrations within data protection and information security.

As one of the administration's three data protection contacts, you coordinate and follow up on the administration's data protection issues and are responsible for the dialogue with the Data Protection Officer (DPO). You monitor the external environment, produce governing and supporting documents, implement new legislation, and develop methods and routines.

Your main tasks:

  • Provide advisory and supportive services in the operations' data protection and information security work, with a primary focus on data protection issues.
  • Organize and hold information campaigns or similar knowledge-raising measures.
  • Participate in various projects as an expert, for example during the decommissioning/implementation of IT support or other digital services.
  • Conduct/participate in and follow up on threshold analyses, impact assessments, information classifications, and risk analyses.
  • Investigate and handle personal data incidents.
  • Revise the administration's register of processing activities, provide register extracts, and handle deletion requests.
  • Develop the risk and incident process.

The position is located within the Security and Preparedness Unit, which is part of the Quality and Control Department. Within the unit, we have gathered issues concerning physical security, personal security, civil preparedness, as well as information security and data protection. We have a welcoming and pleasant workplace at Selma Lagerlöfs torg with an activity-based working method. We offer flexible working hours, remote work, and strive for a balance between work and leisure. This implies a certain freedom, but also places demands on responsibility-taking from each employee. We have clear leadership based on the City of Gothenburg's approach; we know our mission and who we are for, we care, we work together, and we think new.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who have a university education, for example within public administration, law, IT, or another direction that the employer considers relevant for the position. You must have documented knowledge of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and experience of working with data protection issues.

You need to have good language skills in Swedish, both spoken and written, as the position requires you to be able to write reports, governing documents, and statements. It is also required that you have good computer skills and knowledge of Office 365.

It is meritorious if you have experience from work within different security areas. If you also have post-secondary education or experience from social work or work within law enforcement agencies, this is seen as meritorious. It is also advantageous if you have worked as a development manager or equivalent within information security, data protection, or security in a politically governed organization.

To fit the role as Development Manager Data Protection, you must be strategic in thought but operational in action. You have analytical ability to handle complex contexts that affect the mission in relation to the Administration for Functional Support and the external environment. The work involves both a leading and a coordinating role, which places demands on you being both cooperative and service-oriented.

Other

In this recruitment, you will answer a number of questions where you describe your knowledge in the field instead of sending a cover letter.

Contact Persons:

During the publication period, the recruiting manager Maria Berntsson has limited opportunities to answer questions about the position. During weeks 28–29, questions are primarily referred to Jenny Björkman, Unit Manager.

We apply background checks on the candidate who becomes relevant for employment. This means that one needs to give consent to be subject to this prior to a possible employment.

The City of Gothenburg works actively to promote equal rights and opportunities and to counteract discrimination.

As an employee in the Administration for Functional Support, we offer you:

  • Secure employment with good employment conditions
  • Full-time with the possibility of part-time
  • Introduction upon new employment
  • Competence development
  • Wellness allowance, bicycle allowance, as well as other discounts and offers

You can only submit your application via our recruitment system because all handling of personal data must be done according to GDPR. If you have protected personal data, you should NOT apply via the system but contact the responsible recruiting manager for handling your application.

Appointment is made on the assumption that the position does not need to be taken in the administration or the city's restructuring work.

To you who represent staffing and recruitment agencies: For this recruitment, we have chosen recruitment channels and do not want offers of competence mediation, advertising, or recruitment assistance.

About Us

We are all different. We are also alike and have the same right to a secure home, a meaningful occupation, and to feel valuable. With the right conditions, we can grow, develop, and participate in society on our own terms.

Within the Administration for Functional Support, we provide support, service, and care to children and adults with disabilities and create opportunities for them to live a good and independent life, like everyone else.

With 6,200 engaged employees, we are Sweden's largest administration for functional support. We work, among other things, within housing with special service, day activities, housing support, personal support, and children's and short-term housing.

Do you want to contribute to a more inclusive society? Welcome to us!

You are Gothenburg
