Generalist with strong written communication skills for executive and management support

Can you write sharp notes and precise decision briefs to the management? Are you good at collaborating with colleagues with different professional backgrounds? And do you thrive in a generalist role in a process and development office that is close to the decisions? Then you may be our new colleague.

Cross-cutting tasks close to the decisions

In the Office of Business Development, our main tasks are to manage portfolio management and strategy development in the IT area, to manage development and operations in IT and process areas, and to develop data products and support local data work.

You will be part of the IT Strategy and IT Governance team, where we mainly deal with executive assistance and cross-cutting governance in the IT area. We ensure an overview of, among other things, timelines, report progress and prepare decision briefs for management. In the office we work closely with the Customs and Tax Administration’s operating units and with our sister agency the Development and Simplification Agency, which is responsible for the technical development of new customs systems. The team consists of ten employees and one deputy head.

Your primary tasks will be

• quality-assure material and prepare notes and decision briefs for example for the Customs and Tax Administration’s Directorate and the Ministry of Taxation and Growth’s department
• contribute to ensuring that the board is always updated on the status of system-related tasks in various projects and programs
• coordinate processes, e.g., for the preparation of written material for the board and the ministry
• participate in relevant meeting forums with representatives from the Customs and Tax Administration as well as the Development and Simplification Agency and contribute to coordinating and exchanging information between the two agencies
• support the office head and deputy head in connection with ad hoc tasks.

As part of your onboarding you will participate in e-learning, buddy training and possibly other internal training.

Strong communicator with good collaboration skills

We imagine that you have a relevant graduate social science education, e.g., cand.scient.pol. You may be a newly graduated or have a couple of years of experience from a politically governed organization.

It is essential that you have good written skills, are structured and can adapt your communication to different audiences, including the board. Equally important is that you can quickly understand new professional issues and translate professional knowledge into clear written products.

In addition we place emphasis on that you

• can maintain an overview, even when there are many deadlines and the issues are complex
• approach your tasks analytically and think logically
• independently ensures progress in your tasks
• show commitment, are willing to learn new things and can navigate a development-oriented organization with ongoing changes
• have good collaboration skills.

The daily life in the office is changeable and requires that you can work flexibly and structured, share knowledge with your colleagues and deliver high quality despite tight deadlines.

We support an international societal mission

The Customs and Tax Administration has about 800 employees spread across the country. We come with very different backgrounds and areas of expertise – but we are all driven to participate in an important task, and we are proud of the results we create. In the staff, we work every day ambitiously to support the agency’s core tasks, and we collaborate across the entire organization on constructive solutions.

If you want to collaborate with engaged colleagues and contribute to solving an international task that creates value for Denmark and secures Danish society, then the Customs and Tax Administration is for you. Together we create opportunities across borders.

In the Office of Business Development you will become part of a team with many different professions and perspectives where sparring, knowledge sharing and collaboration are a natural part of daily life. We also emphasize a good social and inclusive community, an informal tone, and a high ceiling.
