Sous-Chef for the Office of Telecommunication

Deputy Head of the Office of Telecommunication

Would you like to help ensure a well-functioning digital infrastructure and the ongoing development of the telecommunication area? Do you have a flair for leadership and a desire to lead a professionally strong team? Then the position as deputy head in the Office of Telecommunication might be for you.

Office of Telecommunication

The Danish telecom infrastructure is a fundamental prerequisite for a well-functioning digital society. In the Office of Telecommunication we work to create the best framework for the digital telecom infrastructure through, among other things, regulation and performing authorities’ tasks. We prioritize close dialogue with companies, authorities and other stakeholders about daily operations and development in the area.

The Office of Telecommunication consists of about 50 professionally strong employees distributed across six teams. As deputy head you will have direct line responsibility for about 10 employees in Team Frequency Allocation and Supervision. The team handles a number of central authorities’ tasks in the frequency area. These include, among others, issuing frequency licenses, collecting frequency charges and guiding companies, authorities and citizens on the use of frequencies.

We also conduct supervision under the Frequency and Radio Equipment Act, including handling frequency disturbances and compliance with rules and terms. The team also contributes to international cooperation in the frequency area.

Your responsibilities

As our new deputy head you, together with the two office heads, will constitute the daily management of the office, and you will play an important role in cross-office collaboration and with other offices in the Agency and the Department. You will also become part of the Digitalisation Agency’s overall senior management group.

The tasks are broad, and you will, among other things, be responsible for

• people management and professional development of employees with different educational backgrounds
• the operation of supervision and licensing
• budget management and strategic development across the office
• collaboration with companies, citizens, other authorities and other stakeholders

About you

We are looking for a deputy head who can set direction for a team of professionally skilled and experienced employees. You have an academic background, and it is important that you want to become the manager of an operational area. It is not necessary, but an advantage, if you have experience with case handling and budget management as well as an understanding of legal issues. You do not need to be a specialist in the frequency area, but you should be willing and able to familiarise yourself with a complex professional field where technical, legal and administrative issues go hand in hand.

Concretely we emphasise that you

• have experience with and are motivated by people management and have a focus on staff well-being, development and professionalism
• have strong analytical abilities and can understand complex technical and legal issues
• understand the authorities’ role and preferably have experience from a politically governed organisation
• are process-driven and can maintain and expand strong collaboration both internally and externally
• thrive in a daily life where both ongoing operations and new, strategic issues require managerial attention

In the Digitalisation Agency we continually focus on well-being and development for all our leaders and employees. It is therefore crucial that you as a person contribute to a trusting and informal work environment. You will become part of a dynamic organisation where as deputy head you have an important role in the ongoing development of the staff. Our everyday life is busy and characterized by complex, but interesting, tasks and many collaboration opportunities.
