We are looking for an engaged, structured, and professionally strong special consultant for a temporary position from November 1, 2026, to January 31, 2028.

About the position and tasks
As a special consultant at Tilioq, you will play a key role with significant professional weight and a high level of independence. You will be a central driving force in the planning, coordination, and implementation of Tilioq's projects, seminars, conferences, and strategic initiatives.

Your primary tasks will include

•    Events and conferences, with responsibility for coordinating and holding Tilioq's recurring seminars and conferences for professionals, disability associations, business people, civil servants, and politicians.
•    Strategic communication and analysis, including the preparation of complex writings, analyses, consultation responses, policy briefs, reports, grant applications, as well as press releases and notes.
•    Networking and collaboration, including building and maintaining relationships with external actors inside and outside Greenland.
•    Communication and travel activities that contribute to the communication work about the rights of persons with disabilities and Tilioq's visibility. A considerable amount of travel is expected in connection with the management and holding of projects and events.
•    Managing daily financial responsibilities, keeping accounts, and communicating with accountants and auditors.
 

Your profile
We are looking for a colleague with specialized knowledge at a high professional level, who thrives with coordinating tasks and has an eye for strategic connections. Expectations for Tilioq can sometimes be both numerous and high from both the public, authorities, and political sides, which is why it is important that you can thrive and navigate in a diverse environment with many balls in the air and a daily life at an active pace, where the whole team helps each other reach the goals.
 

We envision that you
•    Have a relevant academic degree at the master's level (e.g., in social sciences, social work, law, or politics) as well as a solid relevant background of experience.
•    Have in-depth knowledge of or experience with the disability sector, human rights, the UN system, indigenous peoples' rights, or project work in NGOs/public institutions.
•    Have experience in project work and communication about the disability sector in Greenland.
•    Possess strong project management and coordination skills and can work independently and purposefully with many balls in the air.
•    Are a strong communicator who can convey complex academic and legal topics understandably in Danish and preferably Greenlandic as well as English.
•    Are inclusive, flexible, and thrive in a work environment characterized by collaboration across differences.
Tilioq is a small unit, so it is important that we find the right person for the position, and we therefore consider applicants' overall qualifications and competencies, even if they fall outside some of the things we describe above.
 

We offer
We offer an exciting position with great responsibility as well as professional and personal development opportunities. You will have the opportunity to influence the development in the area in a job where you can certainly make a difference and create results for people with disabilities and their close ones and elevate the general professional level of the area. At Tilioq, we have a favorable and inspiring environment where you collaborate with engaged and creative colleagues and partners on meaningful, exciting, and very varied tasks.
As a workplace, we value a well-functioning and inclusive work environment and good collegiality across the board. Tilioq aims to contribute to a good balance between work and private life, including the possibility of remote work and flexible work arrangements. We also have a very flat hierarchy, where we make decisions collectively. A workplace where diversity is valued and the work environment is taken seriously. We hope you are willing to actively participate in maintaining this work environment.
 

Salary and employment conditions
Salary and employment conditions in accordance with the agreement/collective agreement in force at the time of commencement between the Government of Greenland and the relevant negotiating organization, including the right to relocation and moving expenses.
The position is primarily a full-time position with a working time of 40 hours per week, with the possibility of a flexible job scheme or similar.
 

Housing
Unfurnished staff housing in Sisimiut can be offered for the position only according to the applicable rules at any given time. Housing cannot be offered to persons who already have staff housing or another housing owned by the municipality or the Government of Greenland or to persons. Rent and deposit are paid according to the applicable rules for the assigned housing. The staff housing is linked to the employment relationship and must be vacated upon termination of the employment relationship.
Rent and housing standards may vary depending on the age of the housing, ownership conditions, etc. There may be waiting time for the assignment of permanent staff housing, which is why temporary accommodation may occur, including in smaller co-housing or hotel apartments, for which taxation occurs. It is not possible to keep larger pets, e.g., dogs or cats, in staff or temporary housing.
Tilioq's secretariat is headquartered in Sisimiut. However, we are open to applicants living in other cities and having the position as an online workplace, also known as a home office.
