Office Manager for the Directorate and Communications Secretariat

Office Manager for the Directorate and Communications Secretariat

Do you want to be the directorate's close sparring partner in the strategic development of a modern agency? Are you keen to set direction and create momentum? And are you good at leading and collaborating across teams? Then read on.

Directorate- and Communications Secretariat

The Digital Agency's areas of responsibility span broadly: from development and operation of national infrastructure solutions such as MitID and Digital Post to supervision of digital legislation, the telecommunications sector, AI development and the digital sovereignty agenda. The wide range of tasks is reflected in our organization and in the secretariat's work.

In the Directorate- and Communications Secretariat, our foremost task is to support the direction, the management team and the organization with good processes and strong advisory support on press and communications. The office consists of about 15 professionally strong employees.

We play a key role in supporting the directorate's daily work and ensuring professional and secure leadership support for the directorate and management team, including the dialogue with the ministry on matters. The office also runs the agency's cross-cutting strategic processes: the annual results plan and office contracts, work on the agency's strategy, development of the organization, directorate- and management meetings as well as management- and directorate seminars.

The office is also responsible for the agency's communications efforts. This includes relatively extensive press handling, the agency's profiles on social media and the operation and development of our website. We also run larger national communications campaigns about the agency's solutions, most recently in connection with the launch of AltID.

The office collaborates with large parts of the organization and functions as a link in many tasks. We place a strong emphasis on being a helpful and accommodating partner.

Your tasks

As our new Office Manager you will play an important role in continuing and developing a well-functioning office. You will also ensure good collaboration with the directorate, the agency's other offices and the ministry. You report to Director Tanja Franck, and you will be Tanja and the rest of the directorate's close sparring partner and a member of the Digital Agency's executive circle.

The tasks are broad, and you will, among other things, have responsibility for

• leading and developing employees with diverse professional backgrounds (AC's, HR staff, journalists, communication graduates and a graphic designer).
• supporting the employees in delivering good service and advising the directorate.
• driving directorate meetings, management group meetings and directorate- and management seminars.
• driving the development and implementation of the agency's strategy and other major organizational initiatives.
• leading larger communications initiatives.
• coordinating with the ministry.

About you

We are looking for a leader with solid experience from a politically governed organization, for example from a ministry or a central agency. You have a relevant academic education.

You can motivate and set clear direction for a number of experienced and ambitious employees. You have experience working closely with and advising a directorate or minister, and you can maintain overview and good humor in sometimes hectic environments with tight deadlines and high political attention.

Specifically, we emphasize that you

• have experience with and are motivated by people management and have a focus on employee well-being, development and professionalism.
• are highly process-oriented and can operate at a strategic level without losing sight of the details.
• can maintain and expand strong collaborative relationships internally and externally.
• have strong political and organizational acumen and thrive in everyday life where the pace is high and days are rarely the same.

In the Digital Agency we have a continuous focus on well-being and development for all our leaders and employees. It is therefore essential that you as a person contribute to a trusting and informal work environment. You will become part of a dynamic organization where, as Office Manager, you play an important role in the ongoing development of the staff. Our daily work is busy and characterized by complex, but interesting tasks and many collaboration interfaces.
