Finance Assistant at Mapei in Kristinehamn

Take responsibility in financial work and grow with a familiar, engaged team in a stable international company.

Mapei is a global, family-owned group in construction chemical products with a strong market position in Europe and the USA. In Sweden, the company has a turnover of approximately 290 million SEK and is a leading supplier to the professional market in construction and industry, including wet rooms and swimming pools. The department in Kristinehamn is an important hub for the Swedish operations with warehouse, order reception, customer service, and parts of the finance function consolidated.

Here you will find a workplace with high ceilings, a good atmosphere, and a helpful team that enjoys working together. The environment is relaxed yet professional, where everyone takes responsibility for their tasks while having fun at work. In the spring, the team will also move into new, modern premises – an inspiring work environment where you can develop and grow in your role.

About the Role

The finance function in Sweden currently consists of a finance manager and an accounting manager, with close collaboration with a Nordic controller based in Norway. The team needs reinforcement and has therefore created a new role as a finance assistant.

The role requires you to independently take responsibility for ongoing financial work with support from the accounting manager, who is also based in Kristinehamn. You report to the finance manager at the head office in Stockholm.

This is a role for you who enjoys taking responsibility, has an eye for detail, and wants to contribute to well-functioning financial flows in a business that invests long-term.

Your Responsibilities Include:

• Accounts payable
• Invoice matching against purchases and deliveries
• Handling of incoming and outgoing payments, bank and account reconciliations
• Reminder and collection management
• Ongoing contact with the sales organization regarding financial matters

You will work in Dynamics AX but will transition to version 365 later in the year. Therefore, it is advantageous if you have experience with either of these systems.

What We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone with post-secondary education in finance and a few years of experience in ongoing accounting or accounts payable. You are confident in the fundamentals, used to taking responsibility, and appreciate working in a structured and meticulous manner.

You have good system skills and are proficient in Swedish and English, both spoken and written.

It is considered an advantage if you have previous experience working in a manufacturing industry or the construction sector.

As a person, you are proactive, solution-oriented, and responsible. You have integrity, a humble attitude, and enjoy close collaboration with colleagues while being able to work independently.

What We Offer

As a finance assistant at Mapei, you will be part of an experienced and engaged team with close collaboration across logistics, sales, orders, and customer service. The position is located in Kristinehamn with some possibility for remote work.

At Mapei, you will be offered good benefits such as wellness grants, pension, and the opportunity for a health check every year. You will also participate in the company's training and development programs, social activities in the office such as Christmas parties and kick-offs for all of Sweden, as well as inspiring trips to Stockholm a few times a year. Here you will have the opportunity to grow in your role, build experience, and have fun with colleagues!

Warm welcome with your application!
