Do you want to make a difference? We are looking for a senior- or principal consultant for resource management at the Danish Refugee Service

Would you help set the direction for the development of our newly established resource management concept? And would you combine strong analytical and financial management skills with the ability to think cross-functionally and strengthen the basis for managerial and proactive prioritization in the organization?

If so, that’s you we’re looking for.

We are seeking a consultant who will help strengthen and further develop the Immigration Service’s payroll and resource management, thereby ensuring coherence between finances, staffing, capacity and task execution in our large and complex agency.

We are looking for someone who can translate data, analyses and forecasts into deeper insights that not only describe the development but also enable us to understand relationships, assess concrete courses of action and prioritise going forward.

You thrive on going in depth with data, calculations and models, but can also lift your gaze from the numbers and communicate complex issues clearly and precisely and engage in dialogue with management about what the results mean for the agency’s operations and prioritisation.

About the workplace

With us, some of the country’s sharpest professionals work on complex problems in an area with great public and political attention. We are about 700 employees distributed across several centers, where governance and prioritisation play a central role in task solving.

Welcome to your new team

You will be employed in an office of about 25 employees, and you will become part of a team that works with both economics, activity, payroll, and resource management.

The office works with appropriations for the agency’s ordinary operations, the IT area and the asylum accommodation area. You will therefore gain insights into several parts of the organization and will collaborate with both managers and employees across the agency.

We also work closely with our sister office, the Office for Business Development, among other things on the link between data, resource management and process optimization.

There is room for professional discussions, different perspectives and good humor. We help each other when tasks require it, and we emphasize a balance between work and leisure.

Your new role

You will play an important role in ongoing payroll and resource management and in the work of further developing our existing models and governance tools.

You will have close contact with the management, where you will translate, present and discuss our analyses and contribute with independent professional assessments and courses of action.

Your primary tasks will include, among other things

• update and further develop payroll forecasts and payroll management
• translate data and analyses into concrete priorities
• contribute to capacity and activity forecasts
• identify challenges in operations and bring them into governance
• develop key figures and governance tools
• plan and conduct operational and follow-up meetings with managers and offices
• secure progress and follow up on agreements and initiatives
• support project economics in relevant areas, including IT

It would be an advantage if you have knowledge of the state financial systems.

About you

We imagine you have a relevant higher education in fields such as social sciences, economics, public administration or similar areas, where you have worked with analysis, governance or data.

You are analytically strong and eager to work with complex financial and organizational problems. You enjoy delving into data and models, but are also curious about what lies behind the numbers and how the results relate to daily operations.

We are looking for a colleague who can work independently and take responsibility for their tasks, but who also thrives in an environment where solutions are developed through collaboration and professional sparring.

In addition, we place emphasis on that you

• have strong analytical and technical competencies and are comfortable with Excel and preferably Power BI
• have experience with governance, operations or implementation – preferably from a public organization
• work in a structured manner, take responsibility and can create momentum in a complex organization
• can think cross-functionally and see connections between economy, capacity and operations
• are a strong communicator, both written and spoken, and can communicate clearly and precisely at management level
• have impact and thrive with collaboration and dialogue with leaders at different levels

What you get with us

With us you get a position with great opportunity to shape the development of an important governance area.

We offer

• professionally challenging and varied tasks
• opportunity to develop and improve our governance methods and tools
• good opportunities for professional and personal development
• sparring and knowledge sharing with experienced colleagues

Curious?
