State Chancellery reopens competition for director with lower requirements

The State Chancellery has announced a new competition for the position of director of the institution. According to the announcement published in the official gazette Latvijas Vēstnesis, the requirements for applicants have been significantly reduced this time.

The repeated nature of the competition suggests that the previous selection round did not lead to a successful appointment. Lowered criteria may open the door to a wider pool of applicants, although the official notice does not explain which conditions were changed or what prompted the new search.

The advertised monthly salary for the position is EUR 7,255. The announcement emphasises the renewed recruitment effort and the adjusted entry requirements. A detailed description of the director’s duties is not included in the available information.

A director has yet to be chosen, and the new notice invites candidates to apply under the updated terms. Full details of the competition have been published in Latvijas Vēstnesis.

This is not the first attempt to fill the post: the earlier tender has been followed by a new one. The only precise figure made public in the announcement is the salary of EUR 7,255 per month.
