Army Staff's Focus Areas
One of the Army Staff's focus areas is building the new army – emphasizing field capabilities, creating new units and restructuring existing ones. In parallel, the Army Staff leads military units both nationally and internationally. The Army Staff develops and production manages the army's combat units and subordinate organizational units such as units and schools.
The combination of these tasks and establishing the Army Staff as a cohesive force makes the work varied, developmental, and dynamic. We are solution-focused and approach our tasks with great commitment.
The Army – when and where it matters!
Job Information
The Army Staff is an organization in constant development – and so is the HR section. We are now seeking a new colleague who wants to be part of our continued journey. The HR section belongs to the Staff Department, whose primary task is to support and facilitate the Army Staff's work through qualified HR support in several areas.
The Staff Department currently consists of HR, communication, international relations, expedition, chief support, and security sections. The HR section consists of an HR manager, an HR specialist, and four HR generalists. From the turn of the year, the Army Staff faces an exciting development where operations are expanding and new units are being added to the organization. This means changing needs and new opportunities for the HR section, which will play a central role in supporting and driving this development.
Our work environment is characterized by dynamics, collaboration, and continuous improvement. Here, you will have the opportunity to work broadly within the HR area in an organization that develops over time, where each day can bring new challenges and learnings.
