Controller for the Authority's Finance Unit

Do you thrive in a broad role with many points of contact, where you have the opportunity to influence and make a difference? Are you interested in supporting and analyzing the important work of the authority? We need to strengthen and develop our controller function and are therefore looking for several new controllers to join our team.

About the Positions

The positions have partially different focuses and responsibilities, but are located together in the finance unit. The controller group works as a team, and colleagues are readily available for support, idea exchange, and joint development.

Working as a controller means being responsible for a part of the authority's operations and providing support to the authority's managers in decision-making during budget work, forecasting, and other financial reporting. You will also contribute to tasks related to monthly closing, annual reports, and quality assurance. The role may also include other tasks, such as developing and monitoring various key performance indicators, working on process development within financial management, and developing system support.

About You

To thrive and succeed in the role, we see that you have good analytical skills and work in a structured manner. You have a high level of personal integrity and take the initiative to solve assignments. You are pedagogical and can explain financial results and processes. You are flexible and can switch between different types of assignments and adapt to changes and complex tasks. By building trust and relationships, you create good collaborations, while also enjoying working independently and taking responsibility for your own deliveries.

During the recruitment process, we will place great emphasis on your personal qualities.

We are looking for someone who has

  • a university degree in economics or equivalent education deemed relevant by the authority
  • very good knowledge of Excel and good experience with financial administrative systems
  • current experience working with budgets, follow-ups, and forecasts
  • good ability to express yourself verbally and in writing in Swedish

It is an advantage if you have

  • current experience working with accounting
  • knowledge of, and practical experience with, the financial administrative regulations within the state
  • experience working with EU-funded projects and audits

Good to Know

The positions are permanent full-time employment and begin with a six-month probationary period. You will be based at the office on Västerbroplan in Stockholm, but have the option to work remotely for up to two days a week. In spring 2027, the authority will move to newly renovated premises in Solna Strand. Your job title will be controller and your placement will be in the finance unit.

When you apply, you will need to answer a number of selection questions related to the requirements profile in the advertisement. Your answers will be used as part of the selection process and can determine whether you proceed in the recruitment process or not. Therefore, it is important that you respond as thoroughly and clearly as possible. We do not use the personal letter in the selection process, so you only attach your CV.
