Economist with an interest in economic and operational management

Are you a meticulous and self-driven economist with an interest in economic and operational management? Do you thrive in a varied role where you can work service-oriented and in close collaboration with your colleagues? Then this could be the role for you!

About the position

As two employees have moved on to other positions internally, we now need to strengthen our team with two new economists. You will work with either the Social Administration or the Municipal Executive Administration. The Social Administration is a large department divided into the areas of Care and Support, Functional Support, and Individual and Family Support. If you support this department, it will be within the area of Care and Support. The Municipal Executive Administration largely consists of support functions directed towards the rest of the municipality. In addition to our own finance department, there are also operations such as Communication, HR, Information Supply, and Digitalization.

You will work in close collaboration with the administration, where you together through reconciliations and quality follow-ups monitor the operations. The position includes providing consultative support and service in questions regarding finance, ongoing statistics, budget, as well as interim and annual financial statements. Together with your colleagues, you will develop, streamline, and ensure the quality of economic and operational management. Monitoring the external environment and preparing materials with a proactive forward-looking approach is also part of your assignment. As an economist, you work independently, but in close collaboration with other colleagues in the finance department.

Examples of tasks:

• financial management and resource allocation
• financial investigations and analyses
• budgeting and forecasting
• interim and annual financial statements
• ongoing monthly reports
• investment reporting and follow-up

About the workplace

The large finance department of Örebro Municipality provides support in economic and operational management as well as accounting. We are divided into four units with a total of about 75 employees. The finance department is currently undergoing a development process where we are reviewing processes, routines, and roles. The long-term goal is to digitize, automate, and standardize the work within the entire economic process to free up more time to proactively support managers with analysis, management, and decision support. We operate from newly renovated premises at Åbylunden 1 and offer the opportunity to perform part of the work remotely as well as flexible working hours.

We are part of the Municipal Executive Administration whose mission is to monitor and develop the municipality and provide effective support to all committees and operations.
