We at the South West Social Administration work with important community-building activities within social services, public health, safety, crisis support, housing, homelessness, and HVB (residential care for youth).

Organizationally, you belong to the Property and Security unit and have close contact with the unit manager, department manager, IT development lead, and security development lead. You will also serve as the coordinating data protection contact. You will be part of the Social Administration's data protection network and the City of Gothenburg's network for information security and data protection. In the role of Development Lead for Information Security and Data Protection, you will have a varied role at both strategic and operational levels.

Your responsibilities include:

• Maintaining and developing information security work within the administration.
• Maintaining and developing data protection work within the administration.
• Participating in the implementation of new IT support and systems from a data protection and information security perspective.

You work well with others by listening, showing interest, and respect. You understand the common mission and work to make it as good as possible. You contribute with a positive attitude and engagement to the team.
