Executive Consultant - help shape the foundation for the important decisions

Do you have an eye for quality, the ability to create overview and a desire to work closely with the mayor and the management? Do you thrive coordinating across, ensuring progress and contributing to good decisions in a politically led organization?

Then you may be our new management consultant in Faxe Municipality.

In Faxe Municipality we work to create the best possible framework for our citizens and local community. It requires good decisions, and good decisions require a solid foundation. Here you get an important role.

We are looking for an experienced and engaged colleague for the HR & Secretariat Staff, who will help ensure high quality in our political and administrative decision-making processes and support the mayor, the executive management and the rest of the organization.

You will become part of a staff where you report to the head of staff. In the staff, we work closely together, have a broad task portfolio, and we help each other to get tasks well to the finish.

Your tasks – close to the executive and the important decisions

As a management consultant you will have a versatile everyday life with tasks ranging from ongoing support to the executive to quality assurance of decision-making basis and cross-cutting operations and development tasks.

One of your most important tasks will be, together with a colleague, to quality assure the cases that will be treated politically and administratively.

For us, a good case presentation is about more than correct templates and formalities. It must be clear, precise and decision-oriented. It should be obvious what is to be decided, why the case is presented, and which considerations and consequences the decision-makers should be aware of.

The subject areas are responsible for preparing their own cases. Your task will be to read them with a critical and constructive eye, ask the right questions and contribute to decision-makers having a good basis for their decisions.

Your tasks will include, among other things, to

• Quality assure agendas and case submissions and spar with the subject areas on how we create clear and thoroughly prepared decision bases
• Contribute to developing our common standards, workflows and quality in agenda production
• Prepare notes, analyses, proposals and decision bases for the executive and the rest of the leadership
• Support the executive's work through coordination, planning and follow-up on decisions and cross-cutting tasks
• Be involved in handling secretarial functions for central meeting fora such as the executive, Chief Forum and the Main Committee
• Organize and drive cross-cutting processes in close collaboration with managers and staff across the municipality

An current example of a cross-cutting task is the municipality's work to create a simpler and more cohesive approach to our policies and strategies. Here you will, together with a colleague, help create overview, involve the organization and prepare proposals for the executive and the political organization.

The tasks will develop over time, and you must therefore thrive in a daily life where you have both fixed areas of responsibility and new tasks that arise along the way.

Who are you

We imagine that you have solid experience with management support, decision processes and cross-cutting tasks, preferably from a politically led organization.

Your educational background is not decisive. You may have a vocational education supplemented with relevant experience and continuing education, a higher education or another background that has given you the right competencies. The most important is that you have the experience, independence and organizational understanding that the tasks require.

We place particular emphasis on the fact that you

• Have a sense of the whole and think ahead. You can analyze complex problems, see connections, anticipate needs and ensure that tasks and processes are followed through
• Have a sharp pen and especially strong writing skills. You write clearly, precisely and in language that is easy to understand. You can reduce complex issues to the essential and have a secure eye for linguistic quality, structure and coherence in others' texts
• Have political and organizational understanding. You have the judgment, situational awareness and discretion required to work close to the top management
• Work independently and create momentum. You take responsibility, work systematically and dare to ask the necessary questions and challenge constructively
• Are a good colleague and partner. You contribute positively to the community, share your knowledge and meet others with respect, helpfulness and good humor
• Have good digital understanding. You quickly adapt to new systems and workflows and are eager to contribute to the development of our task solving
