Vacant job

Are you an engaged leader who creates the conditions for others to grow and develop? Are you driven by a desire to make a real impact on society? Then this role might be for you.

About the role

As a Unit Manager in the Interoperability Section, you are responsible for a unit with approximately 15 employees. You lead the unit's operations, are part of the section's management group alongside your fellow Unit Managers, and report to the Section Manager. The role includes responsibility for personnel, operations, and budget.

In the role of Unit Manager here, your most important task is to create the conditions for your employees, both as individuals and as a team, to work and develop in the right direction. The job involves many contact points, and you network both internally and externally to drive the business forward. We are an organization in growth and change, and you are a key person in creating security in the direction forward. You work closely with your fellow managers, and you support and receive support from each other.

The Interoperability Section is responsible for national common specifications for healthcare, dental care, social services, and LSS (Support and Service for Persons with Certain Functional Impairments) activities, as well as providing support to increase the use of these specifications. The Section is also responsible for coordinating information governance and information architecture for the agency's digital services, as well as standardization work within the sector. The work is central to the national digital infrastructure that the Swedish e-Health Agency is developing, and the Section therefore supports many other parts of the agency in their work. The Section consists of three units and a total of just over 40 employees. The Section is divided into the three units: Information Management, National Release Center, and Coordinated Standardization.

We are currently looking for Unit Managers for two of these units.
