Head of the Operations Administration Division at Aalborg Municipality

Aalborg Municipality is at the heart of a development where operations not only ensure everyday life runs smoothly but also shape the framework for the municipality of the future. As Head of the Operations Administration, you will play a key role in one of the country's largest municipalities with responsibility for an operations organization that every day leaves clear marks on citizens' daily lives, the city's development and the entire North Jutland's cohesion.

As Head of the Operations Administration, you will have a central leadership task in linking strategic overview with understanding of practical operations. You must create clear priorities, ensure robust and efficient task execution and unite an organization with many disciplines, cultures and working methods around common goals and a strong shared direction. At the same time you should contribute to making the work of Operations more visible and understood, both internally in the municipality, politically and toward citizens, businesses and partners.

You will be overall responsible for the Center for Parking, Security and Service, Green Operations and Ferries as well as Road Maintenance and Projects, three large operations departments each with its own department head and in total about 20 leaders and 280 employees.

The tasks range from parking enforcement, security service and citizen-facing service to operation and maintenance of roads, paths, green areas, nature and ferries, and they have great significance for the municipality's accessibility, safety and physical framework.

Operations is undergoing ongoing development and must be able to deliver stability in daily life, while the organization develops in step with the municipality's needs within, among other things, green transition, climate adaptation and resource use.

You report to the Director of Technology and Environment and become part of the management team together with the division heads for Authority and Service, Planning and Urban Quality, Strategy and Management Support as well as Projects and Coordination. Here you will share responsibility for ensuring the organization achieves political results, and that the Council and the political committees have a strong basis for making decisions. You also contribute to developing and anchoring the administration's strategies and objectives.

An important task will be to strengthen the coherence between Operations and the rest of the administration and build a bridge between the special operations organization and the shared leadership space in Technology and Environment.

You come with solid leadership experience from a large and diverse organization, where you have created direction, coherence and results through other leaders and employees. You understand the importance of the operations area for citizens' daily lives and can translate political ambitions into prioritized, efficient and sustainable task solving.

You have insight into municipal organization and political servicing, preferably supplemented with experience from technical, operational or infrastructural areas, and you bring a relevant higher education, preferably supplemented with a leadership education. You lead with trust and respect, are relationally strong and visible in your leadership, have political acumen and are decisive, even when difficult decisions must be made.

You also like to get close to practice, so that employees, citizens and partners experience a curious, competent and present chief.
