Are you a senior, analytical, and strategic controller who wants to contribute to a sustainable Gothenburg? Then we have the position for you!

As a consultant at Randstad, you now have the opportunity to work in a central and significant role with our client within the City of Gothenburg. The administration is responsible for the city's most critical services – water, sewage, and waste – and works around the clock to enable a circular economy. We are looking for a management controller who works across departments and is responsible for coordinating the work with planning and follow-up, risk management, internal control, and internal governance. You will work directly under the department head and play a central role in the administration's strategic and operational development work. The assignment requires physical presence at the headquarters in Gothenburg, where you will be an important part of leading and supporting the business's controller team.

Your responsibilities include:

• supporting and, if necessary, driving the work related to the department's focus areas for 2026

The position is located in the Strategic Coordination department. The department is responsible for structure, methods, and tools for planning, following up, and developing the operations. Strategic Coordination is also responsible for the annual tax process and the construction of taxes as well as coordination of research and innovation, environmental and climate work, and cross-departmental referrals. 

As a consultant at Randstad, you are employed by us and work out at one of our clients. You have the same benefits at Randstad as with other employers with collective agreements and benefits such as wellness grants, occupational health care, insurance, and discounts on gym memberships. In addition, you are offered a variety of career opportunities, meet different corporate cultures, and gain experience from various industries, which helps you develop your skills and build a well-rounded CV. The position may involve many contacts, and good collaboration and communication skills are important. We see you as driven and accustomed to working independently. If you are looking for an employer that offers varied assignments and new networks, you will thrive with us. 

In order for us to proceed with your application, you need to clearly state in your CV that all requirements in the job profile are met. Specify which assignment(s) demonstrate the requested experience. The time period should be stated in year and month YY-MM and whether it was a full-time or part-time position.
