Specialist or Senior Consultant for the Role as the Professional Team Leader in the Coordination Department in the Sourcing Division of the Defence Ministry's Materiel and Procurement Agency

We are looking for someone who wants to be a professional beacon in our new team; the “Process and Governance” team in the Coordination Department of the Sourcing Division (SD). You will quickly become a key player, with a broad range of contacts both within the division and in FMI as a whole.

About us

The Danish Defence Ministry’s Materiel and Procurement Agency (FMI) is responsible for procurement, operation, maintenance and phasing-out of the Armed Forces’ materiel and IT. Our section, Cross-cutting Processes and Governance (TPS), belongs to FMI’s Sourcing Division and is one of Denmark’s most exciting workplaces, where you on a daily basis get close to the Armed Forces’ tasks.

We are a section with diverse backgrounds and educations; we take care of many different tasks across the division. We have recently established a teams structure, where we have professional community and thus the opportunity to discuss our tasks across. We have created four teams in the section, and one of them is the team; Process and Governance. In this team, everything from the division’s internal processes and governance groundwork as well as case management system to the division’s input to overarching processes in FMI is handled.

In addition, in the coordination department we are responsible for handling all inquiries that come into the division, e.g., access to information requests and parliamentary questions. We also handle finance, HR, communications and governance groundwork, just as we are heavily involved in several AI projects.

All of this collectively contributes to optimize task solving in the Sourcing Division. Our tasks often come with short deadlines, but the mood and atmosphere are always top, and it is also important to us that we can spar with each other across the section, regardless of background and tasks.

About the position

As a professional team leader you shall be the professional beacon the rest of the team can spar with regarding their tasks. You will form a team of five employees including yourself. You will not have the personnel management responsibility that lies with the section head.

We work in a dynamic environment where development and change are part of everyday life. Therefore it is important that you are adaptable, structured, detail-oriented and have an eye for continuous optimization.

Your portfolio of tasks will initially be divided into two

A. Professional team leader for the team: Process and Governance

• Facilitate meetings in the team where professional topics can be discussed.
• As a professional team leader you should ensure ongoing sparring with the team members.
• As a professional team leader you should lead and be a professional beacon in your areas.
• Handle independent case processing within the area, including responses to consultations etc.

B. Handling coordination tasks and the authority inbox for the Sourcing Division

• You will become part of a team of 3-4 colleagues from different teams in the department who rotate to cover the authority inbox
• Manage coordination and dissemination of written inquiries to the division, including parliamentary questions, access requests, internal consultations and others
• Be responsible for incoming inquiries to the division and delivering the task on time and with quality. The tasks start with an analysis from your hand, resulting in a task breakdown and concretization
• Prepare case briefs regarding strategic initiatives

We value and support our employees’ development and growth, and there is ongoing focus on your skills development. In addition to internal and external courses there is, for example, the possibility to participate in cross-cutting projects and working groups that can contribute to your professional development and give you experience across the organization.

We have a very flexible arrangement of work, and we place great emphasis on both our professional and social well-being. Therefore we hold regular meetings and social events to strengthen cooperation and the good working environment.

About you

We are looking for an experienced colleague, e.g., with a background as cand.scient.pol. or similar. The specific educational direction is of lesser importance, but it is essential that you:

• Have experience from FMI, but it is not a requirement
• Have strong relational abilities that can create and maintain good connections across the entire FMI, especially at a time when FMI generally undergoes many major changes
• Can work both analytically, systematically and pragmatically
• Have good process understanding and can look across processes, case flows, professional fields and supporting IT systems
• Are structured and good at keeping an overview, demonstrate execution capability and, after proper onboarding, independently drive your tasks forward
• Are collaborative and contribute to joint solutions
• Are curious about the Defence’s area

It is an advantage, but not a requirement, if you have understanding of procurement, as you will have colleagues who work specialized in this field. We would like you to have knowledge of working in a government authority or another area in the public sector.

Employment terms

The appointment is made in accordance with the current agreement between the Ministry of Finance and a number of academic associations for academics in the state (Academic Agreement).

Depending on your qualifications and competences, there is an opportunity for negotiating an allowance. The position includes an employer-funded pension scheme.

The workplace is in Ballerup.

As an employee under the Ministry of Defence’s area you are subject to some special terms. You must be able to obtain security clearance and maintain the security clearance throughout the employment.

You, as an employee, have a duty to render service outside the country's borders, including units in international operations with a view to participation in conflict prevention, peacekeeping, peace enforcement, humanitarian and other similar operations.
