About Us

The Financial Stability Department is responsible for the various assignments of the Swedish National Debt Office (Riksgälden) in financial crisis management. We work to counteract serious disruptions in the financial system by managing financial firms in crisis in a stability-preserving and cost-effective manner for the state. We are now looking for an employee who can contribute to this work.

We Offer You

We offer a developing and significant job in an exciting and educational environment where Sweden's financial stability is the focus. In the department, we work with economic and legal issues to be prepared to handle various financial firms in crisis. The preparatory work includes making assessments and analyses of how crisis management should be carried out by developing resolution plans and imposing requirements on the firms. The work involves close cooperation with both Swedish and international authorities.

Your work will also include developing and engaging in collaboration with authorities in other countries, as well as maintaining ongoing contacts with other stability-preserving authorities such as the Ministry of Finance, the Financial Supervisory Authority, and the Riksbank.

The role requires you to be meticulous, analytical, and structured. You have good collaboration skills and are an effective communicator who expresses yourself well in both Swedish and English, both orally and in writing. We consider a strong interest in socio-economic issues and consumer protection to be a given.
