Join us in developing Sweden's cooperation with Eastern Europe and Ukraine

The Unit for Ukraine and Eastern Europe is tasked with promoting cooperation with Sweden's neighboring areas in the Baltic Sea region and Eastern Europe, with a special focus on Ukraine. The unit is responsible for channeling financial support to organizations in Sweden for international cooperation. This support aims to contribute to reforms and EU integration, as well as economic development in the partner countries.

The unit is now seeking a Case Officer focused on channeling financial support to project collaborations with Eastern Europe, with a special focus on Armenia, Moldova, and Ukraine. In this role, you will process new applications and ongoing project support within the areas of economic development, job creation, and trade. A key objective is to create conditions for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and entrepreneurs to develop and reach markets, particularly those linked to the EU. The role also involves planning and conducting meetings with project owners and partners, both ongoing within current projects and in connection with upcoming calls for proposals.

We are looking for someone who has:

• a completed university degree in fields such as economics, political science, international relations, or European studies
• at least three years of experience in processing, assessing, and managing projects within international cooperation
• experience working with and networking within the Swedish business community
• the ability to communicate fluently in both Swedish and English, orally and in writing
• good knowledge of Microsoft 365, and familiarity with digital collaboration in a Microsoft environment

The following qualifications are also meritorious:

• experience in private sector development with countries in Eastern Europe, particularly Armenia, Moldova, and Ukraine
• experience in private sector development within international development cooperation

As a person, you are responsible and results-oriented, demonstrating this by taking charge of planning, structuring, and driving your own work forward. Your ability to analyze and interpret information enables you to identify patterns and connections. Furthermore, you possess strong communication skills and find it easy to collaborate with colleagues across different areas.

We will place great emphasis on your personal qualities.
