About the Job

Do you want to work strategically with management control and development? We are now looking for a management controller responsible for support in management, governance, and internal control.

As a management controller, you will coordinate the overall processes of the administration such as planning and follow-up of the organization's budget work with a focus on goals and assignments. You play an important role in the development of the administration, and your work should lead to improvements in management and governance through active quality work and work with the processes of the operations.

Being the only administration in the City of Gothenburg working towards two committees places special demands on effective management and support processes, and you have an important role in this.

You will work on behalf of the director and be part of the administrative management team. Your work includes coordinating the preparation of strategic issues for the management meetings. You will participate in the overall development work of the administration in matters concerning finance and follow-up, and you are responsible for ensuring the quality of the city's governance and management processes as well as following up on the implementation of the management's decisions.

You are also responsible for quality within the administration. This means that together with the management team, you will develop quality work and ensure the quality of the city's governance and management processes within the administration. Your work also includes monitoring the external environment and keeping yourself updated in the areas of management, governance, and internal control. An important part of your assignment is also to communicate analyses made and influence actions within the organization to ensure that change occurs in the desired direction.

You support the administration's managers in the work with operational planning and follow-up, strategic analyses, and proposals for actions for continuous improvements. You are responsible for planning and internally coordinating this work and presenting results and statistics at various levels within the administration. In your role, you will also provide investigative support to the administration's managers and prepare investigations and decision-making materials on cross-administrative issues.

You will also work city-wide on issues related to management and governance and participate in both internal and external networks.

You have several years of experience working as a controller or in another role that the employer considers equivalent. You also have experience working in a politically governed organization.

Good knowledge of municipal and administrative law is a requirement, as well as good IT skills, preferably in tools used within the City of Gothenburg such as Stratsys and Nekksus. It is advantageous if you have previously worked in a supportive role for management and governance processes, primarily related to planning and follow-up. It is also beneficial if you have worked strategically with qualified management control as well as analysis and follow-up and have experience identifying and analyzing areas for development. If you have worked within the City of Gothenburg with similar tasks, it is also an advantage for the position.

As a person, you are structured with a high degree of analytical ability. You have the ability to identify development needs and contribute your expertise to the development within the organization. It is also important that you are proactive and can work systematically with all tasks. You have a holistic view of your work and can oversee your own area of responsibility while also placing the operations in a larger context. You can think strategically and have a broad perspective on work-related issues.
