Do you want to contribute to a dynamic and modern public employer policy? Are you attracted to combining qualified analytical work with strategic advocacy? Then you might be the investigator we are looking for in our Analysis and Advocacy function.

Arbetsgivarverket is an employer organization for the public sector and one of the government’s agencies. Its members include approximately 250 authorities, state-owned enterprises, and other employers related to the public sector.

Unit's Mission

The Negotiation Unit is responsible for concluding central collective agreements in the public sector.

Currently, 18 people work here in roles such as negotiators, statisticians, analysts, investigators, and chief economists.

The Analysis and Advocacy function, which is part of the Negotiation Unit, consists of a group manager and three investigators. The group's mission is to conduct analyses, respond to consultations, and produce materials that support Arbetsgivarverket's employer policy positions and priorities, as well as to communicate this – internally and externally.

It also includes ensuring that the analyses are translated into relevant materials for decisions, in consultation responses, positions, or advocacy efforts – internally and externally.

To succeed and thrive in the role, you have a strong interest in social policy and good analytical skills. This means you can draw conclusions from complex data and events, maintain focus on the whole, and at the same time communicate your knowledge in a pedagogical and target group-adapted manner. You also need to have an excellent ability to communicate in writing and verbally primarily in Swedish and sometimes in English.
