Financial Administrator at AjaBajaCancer

Do you want to combine your financial expertise with meaningful work? AjaBajaCancer is a non-profit organization founded in 2018 with the goal of easing the daily lives of families affected by childhood cancer. Our vision is that no one should feel alone when a child is diagnosed with cancer. Over the past year, we have supported approximately 600 families – and we are continuously developing our support.

We are now looking for someone who wants to be a key person in our team – responsible for both finance and administration. With us, you will have the opportunity to help build a new role and grow together with a developing organization.

About the Position

As a financial administrator with us, you will have a varied assignment with both operational and strategic elements. You will work closely with the Secretary General and be an important support for the entire organization. This is a role for someone who is self-driven, structured, and enjoys finding smart solutions to new challenges. Since much of the work is currently handled by the Secretary General along with external resources, we now need to strengthen our internal capacity. Because AjaBajaCancer is affiliated with both the Swedish Fundraising Control and Giva Sweden, special reporting and follow-up related to that is also included, as well as reporting for granted funds and impact measurement. In addition to the financial tasks, the role also includes a range of administrative tasks related to donation management, events, purchases, and CRM systems.

Your Main Responsibilities

Finance

• Ongoing bookkeeping and reconciliations
• Monthly reports and annual accounts
• Payroll management, taxes, and employer contributions
• Invoicing and handling of supplier invoices
• Budget work and financial follow-up
• Contact with auditors and authorities

Administration

• Ensure good order in documentation and archiving
• Management of membership registers and administrative routines
• Administrative support to the Secretary General
• Mailings to external parties
• Ordering materials and other administrative tasks

Funding

• Identify relevant funds and foundations
• Write and send applications for grants and project funding
• Follow-up and reporting to funders

You will also contribute to:

• Strengthening the organization's brand and visibility
• Following up and analyzing the organization's results
• Promoting cost-effectiveness and continuous improvements
• Supporting other roles in the organization

Who Are You?

We are looking for someone who is structured, self-driven, and confident in their financial skills – but who also has a passion for non-profit work and AjaBajaCancer's mission.

We see that you have:

• Post-secondary education in finance/accounting or equivalent experience
• Experience in bookkeeping and financial administration
• Knowledge of payroll, taxes, and regulations
• Good administrative skills and digital competence
• Experience in writing grant and foundation applications (meritorious)

You express yourself fluently in Swedish and have good knowledge of English, both spoken and written. The role requires you to be self-driven and motivated – you enjoy taking responsibility and are solution-oriented. To thrive with us, you are unpretentious, curious, service-oriented, and a good team player. The role involves many parallel tasks, which requires flexibility, structure, and strong social skills.
