Main responsibilities
The communicator at OKC is an important link between the research environment and society and has an advisory function to the Centre leadership. The role includes both strategic and operational communication work, where you are responsible for OKC’s external and internal communication, mainly in English. You work closely with both management, researchers and doctoral students throughout the organization and you will be part of larger and smaller projects / working groups, which requires good knowledge and a helicopter perspective of the entire business to be able to prioritize correctly.
With the position comes, apart from certain administrative tasks related to the steering group activities, the editorial responsibility for OKC’s website, including but not limited to publishing, updating and developing the content, as well as responsibility for the communication on slack and social media. You are responsible for the ongoing development work of the center’s communication with opportunities to design the focus of the communication work – and a great deal of freedom in how you set it up.
In this position, we expect you to be an excellent writer who can adapt texts to target group, communication channel and context. You have also knowledge and experience of working with CMS tools and possess administrative skills.

You have good stylistic and communicative ability in both speech and writing in English and a good understanding of Swedish. Knowledge of OKC’s research fields is advantageous.
It is meritorious if you have experience from film and editing, photography, graphic design in both web and print, coordination of events and communication work in the education or research sector.
As a person, you can work independently, take own initiatives, are responsive and service-oriented and have a good ability to see the “the full picture”. You cooperate easily, share your knowledge and have good social skills. You are structured and efficient in your way of working and used to prioritizing, as you will be part of larger and smaller projects/ work groups in parallel with the ongoing communication work. Great emphasis will be placed on personal qualities.
