Generalists to implement the employment initiative of the future

Do you want to work closely with political decisions and help translate large reforms into concrete changes for citizens on the edge of the labor market? Then you may be our new colleague at the Danish Agency for Labour Market and Recruitment (STAR).

A job with responsibility, pace and political relevance We are seeking generalists for the Employment Office, where we develop and implement central reforms and initiatives in the employment area, including the Employment Reform, Ungeløftet and the unemployment benefit reforms. The task is to support the development of political agreements and to ensure they work in practice.

With us you get a position where you early take responsibility in an area that is highly politically prioritized and of great importance to society. You will have tasks normally associated with work in a ministry with political servicing, reform implementation and stakeholder management.

Your tasks will include

• work on implementation projects that translate political agreements into concrete solutions
• draft decision papers and contribute to the ongoing support of the Minister of Employment and the Minister for Equality, the Ministry of Employment, Equality and Civil Status, Parliament and the agency's management

Who are you? You likely have a social science education, e.g., cand.scient.pol., cand.scient.adm., cand.scient.soc. or similar. The most important is that you are ready to take responsibility, are strong in writing, can collaborate both internally and externally and have an understanding of processes in a politically governed organization.
