The Swedish Agency for Health and Care Services Analysis seeks Unit Managers

Do you want to work at an independent analysis agency where committed employees are the most important resource? The Swedish Agency for Health and Care Services Analysis is tasked with monitoring and analyzing healthcare, dental care, and social services from a patient, user, and citizen perspective. Demand for our analyses is increasing, and the agency is growing.

We are expanding from three to five units and are therefore looking for unit managers who want to help develop our analysis operations and contribute to knowledge bases that influence the development of Swedish healthcare, social services, and dental care.

About the role

As a unit manager, you lead the work in one of the analysis department's five units and have operational, budgetary, and personnel responsibility for approximately ten employees. You lead a group of qualified analysts and investigators with advanced subject and methodological expertise.

You lead through dialogue, clear goals, and trust in employees' skills.

Your mission also includes driving and resolving issues of strategic importance to the agency and its analysis operations.

Our work is characterized by participation and collaboration. You are skilled at building networks and creating good relationships with colleagues and partners.

• previous managerial experience
• very good ability to collaborate and cooperate effectively with others to achieve common goals
• good communication skills, both verbal and written.

Advantageous:

• experience working in a politically governed organization tasked with producing advanced analysis and knowledge bases with high policy relevance
• experience leading change and development work in a knowledge-intensive organization.

Personal qualities

• balance short-term result demands with a long-term sustainable approach
• are proactive and solution-oriented, with the ability to understand the conditions of the business and employees
