Freelance - Sorø

Are you a quick-thinking, efficient political aficionado with a diplomatic flair for stakeholder relations and project management? Then you might be STRING’s new project and policy director.

YOUR ROLE:

You will first and foremost lead our work on instigating an EU project aimed at building hydrogen charging stations for heavy trucks in the region between Oslo and Hamburg. This will include leading the project secretariat, overseeing the project management, building a stakeholder consortia, familiarise yourself with EU legislation and policy in the relevant fields, and work together with our members and a contracted consultancy to assure a successful bid for EU funding.

You will be responsible for overseeing analyses commissioned by STRING as well as carrying out own analyses to support STRINGs political messaging. Specifically, you will take lead on the development of a large-scale analysis on effect of cross-border links on creating a joint employment market, and deriving results from analysis into climate and financial benefits of large-scale infrastructure investments. In turn, turning these findings into compelling political arguments in close collaboration with the PA Director.

Furthermore, we would also like our successful candidate to have a genuine interest and understanding of EU affairs in order to further strengthen the role of STRING at an EU level. This will include staying up to date on current EU affairs and priorities – especially on climate and infrastructure – and strategise on how this could influence the STRING agenda through relevant projects and initiatives. A key target is to develop a closer relationship between STRING and key EU institutions and stakeholders. You will also be expected to lead STRING’s efforts on the TEN-T infrastructure agenda and manage our cooperation with member’s EU offices.

In addition to these dedicated tasks, you will also be expected to:

  • build a strong advisory board for STRING with participants from the private sector and academia

  • maintain close contacts with all of our members on a range of different issues concerning the work of the Secretariat

  • contribute to a wide and on-going range of ad-hoc tasks in the Secretariat, such as support your colleagues on the work of creating a Northern European Green Hub, working to realise a range of recommendations as set out in a new report by the OECD commissioned by STRING, arrange events and conferences.

  • Represent STRING as a speaker, presenter or panelist in different events and conferences.

  • Find joint interests and priorities between our members and gain political support on their delivery.

  • Interact with a broad range of stakeholders and try to find diplomatic solutions that fit all different interests.


YOUR PROFILE:

STRING has a small Secretariat with a large political mandate. As such, we are looking for a flexible candidate who can easily adjust to the fast-paced and often frequently changing climate of a political Secretariat. We therefore need our new colleague to have the following qualities:

  • You have previous experience of working either in an international or a political organisation with several stakeholders.

  • You preferably have some knowledge and understanding of climate and infrastructure policy at an EU level

  • Fast working and efficient.

  • Able to set your own tasks and see what needs doing in order to promote our agenda and deliver on the visions of our members without too much guidance or supervision.

  • You thrive in working in an interchangeable environment, where the days differ a lot from each other (post Corona) and you are able to take things as they come without the need for a rigid schedule.

  • The ability to make new connections quickly and to reach out to politicians and civil servants alike.

  • You need to have a diplomatic disposition where you are able to understand the many differing wills and perspectives of our members and manage to find solutions and compromises to benefit the larger scope.

  • At the same time, you are also not afraid to speak your mind and be a strong advocate for the larger STRING agenda.

  • Your grasp of the English language is exceptional, and you communicate fluently in one of the Scandinavian languages. A working level of German is beneficial.


Does this sound like you? We convene interviews on an ongoing basis. Please submit your application no later than July 23 2021.

If you would like to hear more about the position, please contact Managing Director Thomas Becker on [email protected] or +45 29 61 70 10.

PRACTICAL INFORMATION:

STRING is a political member organisation, representing 13 cities, regions and municipalities in Sweden, Denmark, Norway and Germany. We cover the area between Hamburg in the South and Oslo in the North, and work to tie these regions together in a megaregion – a large geography cooperating and sharing a joint profile as a Green Hub. To make this happen, we focus on two main political areas: advocating for sustainable transport infrastructure, and creating a strong green growth agenda in Northern Europe.

STRING work at all levels of governance, both local, regional, national, international and with the EU institutions – and an important part of our remit is to bring together actors from the political, academic and business sphere to and strengthen cross border cooperation in our four member countries.

You will work in the Secretariat, which is responsible for carrying out STRING’s projects, initiatives, communication, events and political visions. We are based in central Copenhagen.

  • Start date: As soon as possible, preferably no later than September 1st 2021.

  • 37,5 hour a week contract, with your base on Nørregade 7b, Copenhagen

  • The contract is for a permanent position, with a standard three-month probation period.

  • STRING is technically an administrative part of Region Zealand, which means that you will be employed by Region Zealand in accordance with Danish labour law.

  • The Secretariat has employees from all of the STRING member countries, and the working langue around the office is Scandinavian

  • Salary to be negotiated according to Danish Region’s guidelines.


A substantial amount of travelling activity is to be expected, particularly within Denmark, and to Sweden, Norway, Germany and Brussels for meetings and events. In return, we offer a highly varied, flexible and interesting opportunity, where you will be encouraged to grow and shape your own position, surrounded by competent, supportive and lighthearted colleagues in the heart of Copenhagen.
