Are you passionate about improving conditions for children and young people, have you a flair for economics and analysis, and do you want to work closely with the political decision-making process? Then we have an exciting position for you.

In the Department of Children, Youth, Justice Area and Equality we work to realize political goals within the social sector in Greenland. As an AC Administration or Specialist (AC-fuldmægtig) you will among other things work with financial and professional analyses, projects, strategies and cross-cutting actions within the department's remit. You will also contribute to creating solid decision bases and service the political level, among other things through briefings to Naalakkersuisut, notes and responses to §37 questions.

The department is organized into four divisions: the Executive Secretariat, Strategy, Development and Law, the Justice Area and the Equality Office. In the department we value a work culture where everyone has the opportunity to contribute with development and new thinking to the organization. Therefore, it is an advantage if you are a collaborative, ambitious person who meets your colleagues with openness and interest. In return, you will be part of a workplace with engaged colleagues who support and respect each other.

Your job

You will join Strategy, Development and Law, which consists of nine employees with different professional backgrounds. The division works across the entire department's remit and plays a central role in ensuring that political decisions are translated into concrete actions and results. A substantial part of your work will be to contribute with an economic and analytical perspective on the department's initiatives.

We offer

• Develop and drive cross-cutting projects, strategies and initiatives within the department's remit.
• Contribute to monitoring, evaluation and reporting, with a focus on economics.
• Serve the political level through briefings to Naalakkersuisut, notes and responses to §37 questions.
• Coordinate and follow up on ongoing projects and collaborate with colleagues, other departments, municipalities and other actors.

About you

• Have a relevant academic qualification at master’s level.
• Have a good economic understanding and are comfortable working with numbers, data, budgets and analyses.
• Can translate complex economic and professional issues into clear decision bases.
