We are now looking for a Business Developer who wants to drive and develop the department's work with development, business management, and follow-up issues. You will become the department's strategic support in the future development of the operations.

About the Workplace

The Urban Planning Administration plans, builds, manages, and develops Helsingborg. We create conditions for the city's residents, businesses, and visitors, and develop environments where people want to live, meet, and thrive – a sustainable city that both we and the people of Helsingborg can be proud of. We are 240 engaged employees who together work creatively, smartly, and with joy in an organization where innovation and development go hand in hand.

The Urban Environment Department consists of three units: Design & Projecting, Traffic, and Projects, with just over 60 employees with different backgrounds and competencies. Together, we work cross-disciplinarily with both long-term strategies and concrete implementation projects that contribute to a good and sustainable urban environment. You will become part of the department's staff and management group, which consists of three unit managers and one department manager.

Responsibilities

As a Business Developer with us, you will become the department's strategic support and a central part of the department's management work. You are responsible for developing and coordinating the department's business management, follow-up, and development work. In this role, you work closely with the department manager, unit managers, as well as several central development functions and experts with many contact areas within the entire Urban Planning Administration.

You drive development and change initiatives and support the units in their development work. In the role, you bring together the department's business planning, business follow-up, and annual calendar, and work on developing processes, routines, and ways of working. You also support the units and their managers in planning and follow-up issues, as well as in the introduction and application of new ways of working and solutions. An important part of the assignment is also to contribute to the department's work with digitalization and business development.

The assignment also involves preparing issues for the department's management group, creating materials to support operations, and coordinating strategic development issues together with other departments and administrations. Through your many contact areas, you contribute to creating good collaboration and development within the department and the Urban Planning Administration as a whole.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who have an academic education in, for example, urban planning, political science, economics, public administration, or other education that the employer considers equivalent.
