At Kommuninvest, you will become part of a team that combines expertise in controlling, accounting, sustainability, valuation, and reporting to create secure financing for Sweden's municipalities and regions. Here, structure, public benefit, and development come together in practice.

Kommuninvest is a member-owned credit market company that offers Swedish municipal and regional groups competitive and sustainable loan financing for housing, infrastructure, schools, and hospitals, among other things.

Currently, 297 municipalities and regions are members of this voluntary collaboration. With a total balance sheet of approximately 600 billion SEK, Kommuninvest is the largest lender to the municipal and regional sector.

The Role

You will work closely with colleagues in the Finance and Accounting department and collaborate with the accounting group in a company characterized by strong public benefit and a high level of competence.

You will be responsible for the development of our external regulatory reporting. The role also involves responsibility for the budgeting and forecasting process, where you will provide decision support to management and the board.

The role combines analysis, reporting, and the development of working methods within the controlling field. Here, you will have the opportunity to contribute your expertise, deepen analyses, and work with colleagues to develop quality and structure in reporting. We are in an exciting development phase where you will have the opportunity to influence working methods and procedures for the future.

Who are you?

You thrive in analytical contexts where you get to understand relationships, dig into details, and translate analysis into clear conclusions. With a logical and structured approach, you seek answers, ask questions, and contribute to raising the quality of reporting and monitoring.

You are meticulous and responsible but also have a good sense of materiality – you know when it is important to deepen the analysis and when the focus needs to be on what makes the biggest difference.

At the same time, you are communicative and confident in your collaboration with others. The role involves many contact points, and you are good at building relationships, communicating with different target groups, and contributing to positive collaboration. For you, change is natural; you adapt quickly when conditions change and find solutions where others see obstacles.
