Personal Assistant to the Agency for Societal Security

Do you thrive in working in an area under political scrutiny, and do you have a sense for process management, quality assurance and coordination? And would you like to try your hand at an independent and exciting job close to the Directorate of the Agency for Civil Security? Then you may be our new PA colleague.

You will take a central role with close contact to the Directorate of the Agency for Civil Security and a large internal network within the organization, the Ministry of Civil Security and Emergency Preparedness and with external partners. It is therefore important that you can work independently while also being a strong and reliable collaboration partner.

You will become part of the Leadership Secretariat which currently consists of 16 employees. The office includes, among other things, PMO, back office and a board secretariat, consisting of PAs and board secretaries. You will thus have many experienced colleagues around you, and you will never have to handle your tasks alone. Collaboration, job satisfaction and knowledge sharing are a natural part of our everyday life, and you will have good opportunities for skills development.

The work in the Leadership Secretariat is dynamic when it comes to tasks, working hours and pace. It requires flexibility from the individual employee as well as from the office as a whole – the flexibility goes both ways, so there is room for family life as well. We have a high degree of social capital in the unit – we help each other, collaborate across units and have fun together.

As a PA your tasks will range widely. You will among other things be expected to

• Secure professional contributions at the departmental level in, for example, security policy matters.
• Prepare meeting materials, presentations, minutes, etc.
• Coordinate and calendar-manage meetings, visits, travel, etc.
• Process manage and quality assure cases and presentations to the executive board.
• Coordinate hearings and tasks across units in SAMSIK.

Other tasks will be planned in relation to your competences.

You thrive with solving many different tasks of coordinative and practical nature. We also would like you to have experience from a similar position in a politically governed organization.

We would like you to

• be ambitious and goal-oriented – not only for yourself but also for SAMSIK.
• have a high drive and a strong will to deliver when the pressure is on.
• be meticulous and understand the importance of keeping track of the details.
• be structured and able to maintain an overview in a dynamic everyday life.
• be able to prepare the leadership as best as possible with your analytical skills and your ability to convey complex matters into short and precise briefings.
• be motivated by work in a dynamic daily life.
• be a creative problem-solver and see solutions where others see obstacles.
