A Job That Counts!

With us, you contribute to a well-functioning society for the public and businesses.

About the Job

At the bankruptcy supervision, we at the Swedish Enforcement Authority ensure that bankruptcy administration is conducted correctly and in accordance with applicable law. As an economist in bankruptcy supervision, you actively work to ensure that the bankruptcy administration is swift, lawful, and efficient.

Your tasks include performing financial reviews together with your colleagues and monitoring the financial management in bankruptcies and restructurings. You will have contact with several target groups, such as bankruptcy administrators, reconstructors, courts, and other external actors. You oversee that the bankruptcy administration is conducted appropriately, which may involve visits to debtor companies and trustee offices. One of your tasks is to speak in front of groups.

Everyone working at the Swedish Enforcement Authority contributes to the fight against crime. Your tasks include identifying and preventing attempts at criminal activity and notifying other authorities of suspected crimes. As an economist, you may, for example, alert other authorities that a person is receiving benefits on incorrect grounds. This can result in you helping to stop incorrect payments from the welfare system.

Within bankruptcy supervision, we work closely together. It is important that the work is efficient, and we place great emphasis on uniformity and spreading good examples.

Possible locations are Sundbyberg or Umeå.
