The Danish Debt Authority seeks a data-driven head of office for the Steering Office

Do you want to help set the direction for operations management, data usage and analysis? Do you thrive in a professionally strong environment where daily operations and ongoing development go hand in hand? And are you driven by building and maintaining close collaborative relationships? Then you might be our new Head of the Office for Management and Process in the Business Area Companies.

The Business Area Companies is the part of the Debt Administration (Gældsstyrelsen) that ensures the collection of public debt from companies and entities. The area consists of 14 operational units and two coordinating offices, which function as the single entry point to the area. One office is responsible for administration, communications and strategic development, and the other is responsible for production, process and risk management. It is the latter for which we are seeking a Head of Office.

Responsibilities and tasks

As Head of the Office for Management and Process, your primary task will be to support the overall strategy for the area through production management. You will be responsible for follow-up and development of the overall operations management in the area, as well as ensuring ongoing documentation and development of the area’s operational processes, quality assurance and risk management.

You will play an important role in ensuring timely knowledge sharing, coordination and involvement across the area’s operating units. Since the office functions as both entry and exit for the above-mentioned areas of responsibility, it is essential that you can build trusting collaborative relationships at all levels in both the area, the Debt Administration and externally.

You will be a leader with personnel responsibility for 10 professionally skilled employees, and it is expected that you work closely with the Head of the area’s other office, just as you actively participate in the area’s overall leadership group consisting of 15 leadership colleagues.

Leadership profile with experience in process and production management

We emphasise that you

• Have experience with operations management and data analysis for production management
• Can apply and translate data to both operational development and strategic progress with a view to value-chain contexts
• Communicate clearly in both spoken and written presentations; e.g., notes, etc.
• Are an experienced people leader with a focus on collaboration, skills development and well-being on the path to the results

It is beneficial if you have experience from a similar coordinating leadership role in a larger organization.

Your educational background could be, for example, cand.merc., cand.scient.pol., a tax- or public administration education or another equivalent education supplemented with relevant leadership training. You may also have obtained similar qualifications and competencies through your professional work.
