Vacant job

The Swedish Patent and Registration Office (PRV) is Sweden's authority for intellectual property, responsible for patents, trademarks, and designs. We examine and register rights and work to increase knowledge about intellectual assets and their importance for innovation and business.

Our mission is to contribute to Sweden's growth and competitiveness by helping businesses, innovators, and organizations protect and develop their ideas. We are also the supervisory authority for the collective management of copyright and operate in close collaboration with both national and international actors. PRV has approximately 300 employees and operations in Stockholm and Söderhamn, with competencies ranging from engineers and lawyers to IT specialists.

Do you want to help develop our finance function to the next level? Then we are looking for you!

We are looking for support primarily in routine accounting, year-end closing, and reporting to the state. The Finance Unit also handles customer, supplier, and fixed asset processes, as well as certain payroll-related tasks, payments of public law fees, and controlling issues.

Responsibilities

You are expected to work broadly within the accounting process, follow our internal guidelines and decisions, and take into account laws and regulations in the field. In the long run, you will also gain insight into and work with other areas for which the unit is responsible, such as customer/supplier, cash, and controlling.

The tasks also involve handling/registration in several systems, written and verbal contact with Swedish and foreign customers. The work involves close cooperation with colleagues in the Finance Unit as well as other colleagues in the organization.

On the unit, there is a strive to work broadly across several areas, so you should feel comfortable working in several different systems.

We are looking for someone who has:

• a university education or equivalent education with a focus on economics, or equivalent as assessed by the employer
• at least 3 years of current experience in accounting
• good knowledge of Swedish and English, both in speech and writing
• good knowledge of the Office package, especially Word and Excel

It is meritorious if you have worked with similar tasks within the public sector, as well as documented current experience working in ERP (UBW Agresso) and/or Visma Proceedo.

To thrive in the role, you should be a positive and flexible person who enjoys providing service. You have a good sense for numbers and are both quick and precise. Meeting deadlines and achieving set goals is second nature to you. Since the role involves many contacts within and outside the organization, you need to be customer-oriented, service-focused, and trustworthy.

As we work with continuous improvements, you need to enjoy change and have the ability to see opportunities and be solution-focused. You are expected to be able to initiate and drive issues from start to finish. Therefore, you also need to be responsible, receptive, and good at collaborating. You need to be unpretentious when it comes to tasks, i.e., have the ability to quickly adapt and help colleagues in changed circumstances or during work peaks.

We place great emphasis on personal qualities.

PRV offers

In addition to interesting, challenging, and independent work, we also offer pleasant colleagues, a good atmosphere, and nice premises located in central Stockholm/Söderhamn with the possibility of remote work. The state agreements offer better benefits in some parts, such as vacation days and leave, than other industries. We also have a wellness allowance and wellness hour for all employees, https://www.prv.se/sv/om-oss/jobba-hos-oss/vi-erbjuder/ (https://www.prv.se/sv/om-oss/jobba-hos-oss/vi-erbjuder/).
