County Administrative Board of Skåne is hiring lawyers for AML supervision

The County Administrative Board of Skåne is a state authority at the regional level responsible for state administration in the county. We work to ensure that national goals are implemented in the county based on regional conditions. Within our assignments, we work with advisory services, permits and supervision, plans and strategies. We manage nature areas and distribute financial support. We collaborate with actors throughout the county.

We have approximately 600 employees and offices in Malmö and Kristianstad.

Description

The County Administrative Board is seeking two lawyers for the supervision of measures against money laundering and terrorist financing for the Unit for Government Law within the Legal Department. Your workplace will be at our office in Malmö. The position is a permanent employment with a start date in September 2026. We apply a 6-month probationary period.

The Unit for Government Law currently consists of approximately 15 employees who work, among other things, with internal legal support, elections, and supervision according to the Money Laundering Act. Currently, six employees work with money laundering issues.

Responsibilities

The County Administrative Board has supervision over certain activities according to the Act (2017:630) on measures against money laundering and terrorist financing (the Money Laundering Act). The supervision has a risk-based starting point, and our interventions are prioritized and designed based on risk analyses. The work involves planning and carrying out various supervisory measures in the form of desk controls and site visits. In this supervision, it is checked that operators have risk assessments and routines to prevent money laundering and terrorist financing in their own operations.

Another task is to inform operators and other concerned parties about the money laundering regulations and the responsibility of the individual entrepreneur. The assignment also includes collaborating with other authorities and driving a coordinated work to streamline measures against money laundering and terrorist financing. This means that collaboration and cooperation with other county administrative boards and authorities are a natural part of the work, and you will have many contacts with businesses, authorities, and other concerned parties.

The County Administrative Board of Skåne's supervision area covers all of southern Sweden, and cooperating authorities exist nationally, which means that travel may occur in your work. Work with EU regulations, directives, and guidelines occurs frequently.

As an employee with us, you have three roles: employee, colleague, and operator. In the role as an employee, you represent the authority, together with your colleagues you contribute to the overall result, and as an operator, you create public benefit based on your subject matter expertise.

Since you will have many contacts with businesses, authorities, and other concerned parties, and the role involves conducting training, it is important that you have a well-developed communicative ability and are accustomed to speaking in front of groups.

Together with your colleagues, you work towards common goals and drive the operations forward. It is therefore a prerequisite that you are good at collaborating. At the same time, you are focused, thorough, and independent. You manage to work with a well-balanced trade-off between quality, time, and resource expenditure.
