Proactive and socially interested?

Then we believe you will thrive with us. The Swedish Statistical Agency SCB is the country's largest and foremost source of knowledge in statistics. Our statistics are used everywhere, at home at the kitchen table, in news reporting, and by decision-makers in the parliament and government.

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

The section for Producer Price Index is responsible for producing price indices in the producer and import stages (PPI) and Construction Cost Index (BKI). The section publishes the statistics monthly, which places high demands on quality assurance and the ability to work against tight deadlines. The statistics are an important basis for Sweden's national accounts and are also reported to the EU's statistical agency Eurostat.

The job responsibilities offer good opportunities for professional development, both within the subject area and in methodological development. The section also has close cooperation with the section for Consumer Price Index (CPI), and the position may also involve work in the consumer prices section.

Do you want to...

• participate in the preparation, presentation, and publication of the monthly statistics and work towards tight deadlines
• work with quality assurance of the statistics in the form of review, controls, and documentation of work processes
• participate in subject-related development work and coordination of the quality and content of the statistics, having contacts with both internal and external statistical users
• engage in analysis work and monitoring within the area

... then we believe this position could be really interesting for you!

QUALIFICATIONS

We want you to have:

• an academic degree with a major in statistics
• 60 credits in the subject of statistics
• programming skills in or experience with one or more programming languages such as R, SQL, Python, or similar for statistical purposes
• good knowledge of Excel and other parts of the Office suite
• the ability to express yourself well in both spoken and written form, in both Swedish and English

We consider it an advantage if you have:

• a master's degree in statistics
• subject-specific knowledge or experience in price statistics or other areas deemed relevant for the section
• work experience in statistical production

For this to be a good match for both you and us, you need to enjoy working with statistical production while also working on continuous improvements, both in terms of methods and the quality of the statistics. You have good analytical skills, work in a structured manner, and follow work routine descriptions. You like to take initiatives and contribute ideas.

You are expected to take responsibility for your own work in a careful and quality-conscious manner, and have good collaboration skills as the work requires high demands for cooperation both internally and externally. Our environment is changing, and we need to change with it. Therefore, you also need to be flexible to quickly adapt to new conditions. Of course, you are also interested in socio-economic issues.

Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability.
