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 might be our new colleague in the Management Secretariat in the Legal Area of the Tax Administration.

An exciting and varied everyday life

We offer an exciting and varied everyday life in an office where the tasks are diverse, but all characterized by being the glue that holds the organization together. You will have the opportunity to put your governance and financial skills to use, and you will work closely with the Tax Administration's Director of Juris (Legal) and the rest of the management group.

The Management Secretariat is the entry point to the Legal Area and therefore spans a broad range of tasks. Examples of tasks can be:

• Project manager on cases with financial and legal traces across the Legal Area or the agency
• Cross-cutting analyses of financial and production data
• Preparation of management information for Jura's Directorate
• Support and participation in the development of new operating management concepts
• Act as an economic sparring partner for Jura's Head of Department
• Assistance to and ongoing sparring with the agency's finance function regarding appropriations, quality measures, budgets, accounts and finances, etc.

We offer you challenging tasks with a high degree of independent work planning, and you will experience becoming part of a team of skilled and responsible colleagues, where emphasis is placed on professional sparring. You must be able to bring your skills into play as a project manager across the organization. Here there is a need for you to have a central overview, to be able to navigate in a complex organization and to follow up in a timely manner. The projects can have very varied character, where there is a need for ongoing follow-up with regard to governance and finance.

Financial understanding and governance experience

You have a relevant advanced degree such as cand.merc., cand.oecon or equivalent social science education. You have a strong interest and understanding of working in a political organization, just as you are motivated by creating structure, overview, progress and good relations with your professional expertise as a fundamental 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 lift the tasks independently from the start.

To thrive and succeed in the position, it is an advantage 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 expressing yourself both orally and in writing, and able to quickly understand new material and see connections and challenges across
• approachable and good at collaborating across disciplinary and organizational boundaries
• able to plan and manage processes with many contributors and stakeholders
