The Department of Culture, Sports and Church is looking for a committed and analytical employee who wishes to work closely with the political level and contribute to the development of the culture and sports sector, starting on November 1, 2026, or by further agreement.

Your role
You will be a key player in the work with culture and sports policy and will act as a link between the Department, cultural and sports organizations, municipalities, and other partners.
The tasks are varied, and you will have the opportunity to work both strategically, analytically, and operationally.

Your primary tasks
• Political servicing, including the preparation of decision-making proposals for the Naalakkersuisut.

Who are you?
We envision that you have a relevant master's degree and are motivated to work at the intersection of politics, society, and development.

We would like you to:
• Have a relevant academic education at the master's level.
• Be able to analyze complex issues and translate them into clear recommendations.
• Be a strong written and oral communicator in Greenlandic, Danish, and English.

• Have good collaboration skills and can build relationships across organizations.
• Have an understanding of or interest in the culture, leisure, and sports sector.
• Have experience from a politically governed organization, public administration, or the private sector. This is an advantage but not a requirement.
• Thrive in an environment with often short deadlines and many stakeholders.

We offer
• An exciting job close to the political decision-making process.
• The opportunity to influence the development of the culture and sports sector.
• A varied and meaningful workday with a wide contact area.
• Responsibility and the opportunity for professional development.
• Skilled and engaged colleagues in an informal and collaborative work environment.

If you are passionate about societal development, culture, and sports, and wish to make a difference through your work, we look forward to hearing from you.
