Project Manager for the purchase and sale of municipal properties

Would you like to help shape Køge Municipality's urban development through strategic purchase and sale of land and properties? Køge Municipality is undergoing strong development in both the housing and business sectors. Purchase and sale of land and properties is an important tool in the municipality's urban development, and the strategic land policy helps set the direction and ensure quality in the development of new housing and business areas.

As project manager you will play a central role in translating strategic ambitions into concrete agreements and cohesive processes. You will be close to both strategic decisions, concrete negotiations and the development that shapes the future of Køge.

About the position The task of purchasing and selling is organizationally anchored in Built Environment and Planning with reference to the department head. The strategic purchasing and selling activities are carried out in close collaboration with the technical and environmental director as well as the municipal director.

You will ensure coherence and progress in the work with purchase and sale, from the first strategic considerations and negotiations to political treatment and final implementation. The tasks range from smaller properties to larger land areas in urban development areas and often involve longer and more complex processes.

Along the way you will create, together with your colleagues, the framework for a clear and constructive dialogue with the relevant stakeholders.

As project manager you will have professional responsibility for the purchasing and selling area, which you drive and develop together with the team's two other colleagues. You create room for ongoing sparring, systematic knowledge sharing and development of both the individual employee's and the team’s overall competences. You bring colleagues' knowledge and experiences into play and contribute to common working methods and high professional quality.

Your everyday life will be characterized by contact with many different partners, including the municipality's other departments and administrations, public and private landowners, investors, advisors and other stakeholders in the municipality's development. Strategy, collaboration, coordination, project management, economy and law are therefore keywords in the position.

Your main tasks will be to

• Negotiate purchase and sale of areas and buildings

• Contribute to the development of Køge Municipality as an attractive place to live and do business
• Support and strengthen the team's professional development through sparring, knowledge sharing and共同 development of working methods.

You will have professional responsibility for the purchase and sale of land and properties. In urban development projects you solve the task in close cooperation with those responsible for the projects' overall development.

Together you ensure that purchases, sales and contract terms support the projects' development goals.
