Accreditation Administrator for the Operations Section in the Economics and Operations Staff

Would you like to be involved in ensuring the implementation of the Defence's future Communications and Information Systems (CIS)? - Then the Finance – and Operations Staff may have a job for you in the Operations Section as an accreditation administrator.

About us

The Finance – and Operations Staff together with the Development and Planning Staff, the Operations Staff and the Management Secretariat form the Defence Staff. The Finance – and Operations Staff is generally responsible for all cross-cutting, operational matters that do not relate to force deployment or development, and acts as a link between the Defence Command's units, commands and authorities, the supporting agencies and Defence leadership as well as the Ministry of Defence’s department.

The Finance – and Operations Staff consists of a management element, a Controls Department and the Business Controlling Department.

The Operations Section is located in the Controls Department, which, together with the Coordination and Control Section, the Establishment Section and the Audit and Compliance Section, focuses on the Defence Command's internal governance, prioritisation and planning.

The Operations Section is primarily responsible for the Defence Command's planning as well as the operational management of the operating year + 2 years. This includes preparing, updating, synchronising and following up on the Defence Command's planning documents in the form of planning data and dimensioning data in cooperation with the Operations Staff and with involvement of the services and commands.

We are in a section where the tone is informal and where there is great flexibility regarding working hours, presence and home office.
