Job Responsibilities

Do you want to help protect and strengthen the core of the EU cooperation, the internal market? Do you have a good understanding of the EU, free movement, and the current trade policy landscape? Apply for the role of investigator with a focus on the free movement of goods, services, and persons within the EU.

As an investigator in the unit for the EU Internal Market, you work with monitoring trends, conducting both short and long-term analyses, and developing proposals for new initiatives. You support the Government Offices with background material and manage contacts with other authorities. Other tasks include responding to consultations, leading training efforts, and providing information to businesses and citizens. The role may also involve participating in the authority's efforts within development cooperation, where we, among other things, support candidate countries in their integration into the EU internal market.

We are looking for several investigators with a focus on either the free movement of goods, services, or persons. Work related to the Internal Market Information System (IMI) will also be part of one of the roles. IMI is a system for authority cooperation within the EU, and Kommerskollegium is the national coordinator.

However, the focus in the roles may vary over time, and other tasks within the unit's or the authority's areas of operation may occur. The work includes both domestic and international business travel.

Qualifications

We are looking for you who have a relevant academic degree with a legal focus, or alternatively an economic or political science focus. We would like your education to have a focus on the EU, and that you have a good understanding of one or more of the following areas: EU law, the EU's organization and decision-making processes, and the conditions for businesses in the EU internal market.

You have documented and current experience in analysis and investigation work within EU issues from, for example, an authority, an EU institution, or within the business sector. It is also meritorious if you have work experience related to the free movement of goods, services, or persons in the EU internal market. It is an advantage if you find it easy to learn new IT environments, as work with, for example, IMI requires certain technical knowledge. We would also like you to have international experience, for example from working in EU institutions.

You express yourself easily in Swedish and English, both orally and in writing.

To succeed well in the job, it is important that you are meticulous, have good analytical skills, that you are driven, proactive, and want to develop through challenges. Furthermore, it is important that you are responsive, flexible in contact with others, and collaborate well.
