About this role

Role Description

As a Digitalization and Preparedness Lawyer, you will play a central role in ensuring that our organization complies with current regulations related to digitalization and civil defense. You will be responsible for:

  • Analyzing and interpreting legislation to ensure legal compliance.
  • Collaborating with digital teams to structure the outsourcing of digital services within the framework of the law.
  • Providing operational legal advice on digitalization, civil defense, and crisis preparedness.
  • Ensuring the municipality's capability to conduct security-sensitive activities.
  • Managing incidents and disruptions within the municipality’s operations or areas of responsibility.
  • Implementing capability-enhancing activities within the municipality's civil preparedness.

The position belongs to the Security and Preparedness Unit within the Municipal Executive Administration, comprising around 10 employees. This unit holds Östersund Municipality’s strategic coordination responsibilities for operational protection, crime prevention, and civil preparedness.

The role is crucial for ensuring the municipality is a safe and secure workplace and that services function effectively in all situations. You will closely collaborate with all committees within the municipality, as well as with other societal actors. You will also support other sectors in areas such as safety, crime prevention, information security, data protection, insurance, and compensation as needed. In your role, you will independently carry out the assignments and activities you plan for the municipality. The job also involves a degree of administration. Since the role is largely event-driven, planned activities may need to be postponed in favor of managing ongoing incidents.

Qualifications

For this position, we are looking for an individual with the following qualifications:

  • A law degree/Jur.Kand.
  • Documented experience working with regulations related to digitalization, crisis preparedness, and civil defense.
  • Knowledge of outsourcing digital services and managing the total defense legislative collection.

Competencies

We value a person who can effectively translate complex legal and technical issues into manageable solutions. The candidate should have a serious approach to their work and be able to handle tasks with a high level of detail.

To succeed in this role, you need to be responsible, structured, and capable of organizing your work efficiently. You should be pedagogical, goal-oriented, and enjoy coordinating and developing complex processes and projects. You must be able to convey information so that others understand, and be comfortable speaking in front of groups. It is also important to build strong collaborative relationships with others, both within and outside the organization.

Employment will require security clearance and placement in security class 2.

Recruitment Process

Interviews may be conducted on an ongoing basis. We ask that you attach your CV and cover letter to your application. Transcripts/certificates do not need to be sent at this stage; we will request them if an interview becomes relevant.

Östersund Municipality has considered the choice of advertising channels prior to this advertisement and therefore requests no contact from recruitment agencies or ad sales.
