Business Developers at MUCF

The Swedish Agency for Youth and Civil Society (MUCF) is a government agency that generates knowledge about the living conditions of young people and the prerequisites of civil society. Our vision is an open and inclusive Sweden with good conditions for youth and civil society.

MUCF has been tasked by the government to work towards achieving the goals of youth policy and civil society policy. We do this by generating, collecting, and disseminating knowledge, as well as contributing to the coordination of state efforts. We collaborate with authorities, municipalities, regions, and civil society organizations, and distribute state grants.

As of January 1, 2026, the agency's mission has expanded as we have taken over the responsibilities previously held by the Agency for Support to Faith Communities (SST) and the responsibility for state tasks within minority policy. This means that MUCF is an even more important player in the work to strengthen democracy, promote participation, and contribute to an inclusive society.

MUCF has offices in Växjö and from February 2026 also in Stockholm.

MUCF is the national program office for the EU's youth programs Erasmus+ and the European Solidarity Corps. This means that MUCF manages and distributes grants within the program areas for which the agency is responsible. MUCF is also an information office for CERV (Citizens, Equality, Rights and Values) and informs about grants available within that program.

Description

The agency is seeking two qualified business developers for strategic and operational support to the department for international cooperation.

The positions are located within the function for international coordination, which consists of two business developers and a project economist led by the department head. The function provides strategic support to the department as a whole and coordinates work with operational planning, follow-up, and development.

The department is responsible for a number of extensive international cooperation projects, which requires structure, quality, and strategic governance.

MUCF believes in a flexible future work approach with the possibility to partially work remotely based on the needs of the organization. Office presence is determined in consultation with the responsible manager based on your personal circumstances and the needs of the organization.

The assignment includes ensuring regulatory compliance within the operational area and, together with managers and case officers, developing and managing working methods, routines, and internal processes for increased efficiency and legal certainty.

The role also involves representing the agency in cross-authority networks and in national and international collaborations. You contribute to strengthening the department's internal and external collaboration through dialogue, environmental monitoring, analysis, and knowledge dissemination.

The work also includes coordinating and further developing the department's training and information efforts, as well as quality assuring and disseminating knowledge about the EU programs for which the agency is responsible.

It is meritorious if you have:

• experience in coordinating training and information efforts
• experience representing organizations in national and international networks
