Head of Communications & Public Affairs

Being part of the development of new nuclear power in Sweden is a unique opportunity – and a central part of the future

sustainable energy supply. Videberg Kraft is a project company with the mission to develop, construct, and operate Sweden’s future

nuclear power.

Joining us means being part of building a company from the ground up, with processes, systems and ways of working shaped in

parallel with the project itself. Here, progress depends on people who can move forward with confidence, even when not every

answer is known, take full responsibility, and look beyond their own role to help the wider project succeed.

We are now hiring a Head of Communications & Public Affairs to build and lead our communications, Public Affairs and stakeholder

engagement function.

As Head of Communications & Public Affairs you will report to the CEO, and be part of the Executive Management Team. You will

shape how Videberg Kraft communicates and engages with policymakers, authorities, municipalities, owners, industry organizations,

local communities, media and employees.

A central part of the role is to act as a trusted strategic partner to the CEO and management team in high-level stakeholder

dialogues. You will assess what Videberg Kraft should communicate, when, to whom and in what way, ensuring that messages are

credible and consistent across political, local, external and internal arenas.

You will develop the stakeholder strategy, shape the company’s narrative, lead external communication and media relations, and

build structures and routines for internal communication, issues management and crisis communication.

This is both a strategic and hands-on role. You will be expected to move comfortably between setting the direction and delivering

the work yourself when needed, including managing high-priority communications under tight deadlines.

• Assess when Videberg Kraft should engage publicly, when it should remain silent, and how messages may land with different

stakeholders.

We are looking for a senior professional with experience in Public Affairs, corporate communications or external affairs,

preferably from regulated, politically influenced or societally critical sectors. You have advised CEOs, executive teams, boards

or other senior stakeholders in complex environments and have a strong understanding of Swedish political and regulatory

processes.

You combine political judgement with business understanding and know how to build trust with stakeholders nationally, regionally

and locally. You have experience in media relations, press matters, issues management and crisis communication, and have built or

developed a function, team or governance structure.

• Relevant academic background, for example in political science, law, economics, communications, public policy, engineering or a

comparable field.

As a person, you are strategic, structured and sound in your judgement. You have high integrity and the ability to build trust in

sensitive and complex environments. You are a clear communicator who can translate complex information into understandable

messages for different audiences.

You thrive in a role where you need to move between long-term relationship building and concrete delivery here and now. You are

collaborative, hands-on and resilient, with the ability to create structure in an organization that is still being built.
