Personal qualities

As a person, you are both results-oriented and thoughtful, with an aptitude for problem-solving and analytical thinking. You work independently, take your own initiatives for continuous improvements, and are a knowledge resource for others. You are a good communicator with pedagogical skills in both speech and writing.

You are interested in global issues and how they affect our operations. It is important that you are comfortable in an expert role that may involve developing clear proposals with recommendations for the Swedish Customs Authority's stance on an issue.

Since the work requires many contacts and dialogue with colleagues and other parts of the organization, we want you to be a good listener, responsive, and able to collaborate easily with your surroundings. The work as a business expert involves periods of high workload, and you need to have the ability to prioritize and focus on the right things.
