Project Manager with governance experience for Denmark's largest agency

Are you good at creating an overview, managing processes and following up? Do you have experience with governance and are curious about legal work? Are you good at keeping many balls in the air and seeing tasks from a cross-cutting perspective? And do you thrive in a daily life where no two days are the same, but there is always room for a good laugh? Then you may be our new colleague in the Leadership Secretariat in the Legal Department in the Tax Administration.

An exciting and diverse everyday life

We offer an exciting and diverse daily life in an office where tasks are varied, but all characterized by being the organizational glue. You will have the opportunity to apply your governance and financial competencies, and you will work closely with the Tax Administration's Legal Director and the rest of the management team.

The Leadership Secretariat is the entry point to the Legal Department and therefore spans a wide range of tasks. Examples of tasks can be:

• Project lead on cases with economic and legal traces across the department or the agency
• Cross-cutting analyses of financial and production data
• Preparation of management information for the Legal Directorate
• Support and participate in the development of new operational management concepts
• Serve as an economic sparring partner for the Legal Director
• Assistance to and ongoing sparring with the agency's financial function regarding appropriations, quality measurements, budgets, accounts and finances, etc.

We offer you challenging tasks with a high degree of autonomous work planning, and you will experience becoming part of a team of skilled and responsible colleagues, where there is a strong emphasis on professional sparring. You must be able to deploy your competences as a project manager across the organization. Here there is a need that you have a central overview, can navigate a complex organization and can follow up in a timely manner. Projects can have very varied characters, where there is a need for ongoing follow-up regarding governance and finance.

Economic understanding and governance experience

You have a relevant advanced education such as cand.merc., cand.oecon or the equivalent social science education. You have a strong interest and understanding of working in a political organization, just as you are motivated to create structure, overview, progress and good relations with your professional discipline as a foundation. You are also curious about other disciplines and thrive on solving tasks in good collaboration.

We are looking for a candidate with experience within the above tasks so you can take on the tasks independently from the start.

To thrive and succeed in the role, it is advantageous that you are

• independent and proactive and can maintain an overview when there are many tasks and tight deadlines, as well as curious about an organization that is large and diverse
• skilled at articulating yourself both verbally and in writing, and capable of quickly understanding new material and seeing connections and challenges across
• approachable and good at collaborating across professional and organizational boundaries
• able to plan and manage processes with many contributors and stakeholders
