The role

• You understand data as the foundation for operations, control, development, and decision support.
• You have insight into how AI affects workflows, system development, and operations – and can frame a responsible and targeted application (governance, transparency, risks) without needing to be a specialist in everything.
• You can facilitate dialogue and workshops with professional areas and suppliers – and translate input into requirements, priorities, and decision proposals that drive the roadmap and deliveries.
• Tax and business understanding You have a basic insight into the tax and duties area or similar authority tasks.
• You understand the relationship between legislation, processes, data, and IT systems.
• You can ask the right questions and understand the answers – without providing ready-made solutions yourself.
