Communications consultant for transformation program with 29 municipalities

Can you make complex messages clear and relevant for municipal directors, IT managers, specialists and colleagues?

29 municipalities in the Capital Region have joined forces to establish a strong and future-proof foundation for the municipalities' IT operations, cybersecurity and digital development - we call it it29.

We are currently in a super exciting establishment phase, where strategic decisions must be translated into timelines, concrete solutions, agreements and governance frameworks. Therefore we are currently looking for a number of new colleagues who have the skills and desire to make their professional mark on the work and together with the municipalities build the organization that will in the future lift the task.

One of the vacant roles is in communications - so we can ensure clear, targeted and cohesive communication across the 29 municipalities.

Your role – communication that creates understanding and buy-in

You will be it29's communicative central point and must set the direction for the communication, advise the program and make plans and decisions relevant for those who need to understand and act on them.

it29 brings together municipalities with different professional backgrounds, interests and standpoints. Some will need to make decisions, others will develop the solutions, and many will need to see what the changes mean in their daily lives. You will help us translate technical, organizational and political topics into clear messages.

You work closely with the program management and the projects and will be responsible for building the communications effort and translating it into practice. You spot needs and opportunities and choose the techniques, channels and formats that best support the program's goals.

You will, among other things,

• set the communicative direction and develop it29's common narrative
• create an overview of communication needs across the program's tracks, so messages, activities and timing align
• map stakeholders and audiences and ensure targeted communication and involvement
• be a sparring partner for the program manager, project leaders and key persons – and challenge messages, angles and channel choices when needed
• translate goals, decisions and technical deliveries into sharp executive communication, newsletters, articles, presentations, talking points, Q&A and website texts.

To succeed well in the role as our new communication star

• do you have experience with strategic communication and change communication – preferably from a larger transformation, digitization or IT program
• do you thrive in the tension between strategy and execution – you can both develop the communication strategy and the products. Also slides at the last minute for the program manager
• are you curious and listening and can find common ground, even when needs and interests point in different directions
• want to be part of a large, ambitious program and have the courage to help build something new. We see ourselves as a start-up
• do you have solid political and organizational understanding; experience from a municipality or another public organization is an advantage but not a requirement.

With us you get

• an opportunity to become part of a strong professional environment characterized by collaboration, go-do attitude, ambitions and great commitment
• an opportunity to shape the communications effort from the start and leave a clear professional imprint
• a varied daily life with great influence on your own tasks and choice of methods, formats and channels.
