Vacant job

Do you want to combine economics, administration, and social benefit in a role that makes a difference for people across Sweden? The Swedish Life Saving Society has been commissioned by the government to implement a national initiative to strengthen swimming skills in Sweden. This initiative targets children, young people, and adults who need better opportunities to learn how to swim and feel safe in, on, and by the water. We are now looking for an Economics Assistant who wants to help create structure, order, and financial control in a project that makes a tangible difference nationwide. This is an excellent opportunity for you if you want to develop within economics and administration while contributing to an important social mission.

About the Role

As an Economics Assistant, you will be a key support function for project management, sub-projects, regions, and local associations. You will act as an administrative hub and contribute to ensuring that the project's finances, reporting, and administrative processes run smoothly and maintain high quality.

Duties include, but are not limited to, invoice processing, expense and travel claims, budget monitoring, compiling financial data, support in grant disbursements and reporting, as well as contact with associations, suppliers, and partners. You will also contribute to creating structure by documenting routines, following up on the timely submission of data, and supporting various parts of the project with administrative matters.

Who are you?

We are looking for someone with education in economics or a few years of experience in economic administration. Perhaps you currently work as an Economics Assistant, Administrator, or Project Administrator and wish to develop in a broader role where you can combine economics, administration, and coordination.

You have good knowledge of Excel and are accustomed to working in digital systems. Experience with financial systems, such as Fortnox, is an advantage. However, the most important thing is that you are curious, quick to learn new ways of working, and enjoy creating structure and order.

As a person, you are meticulous, responsible, and service-oriented. You thrive on supporting others, collaborate easily, and enjoy having many contact points. This role suits you if you like juggling multiple tasks simultaneously, following up on details, and ensuring that things get done. You are unpretentious, solution-oriented, and see the value in contributing where needed to make the whole work.

Experience from non-profit activities, association life, or project administration is an advantage, but we also welcome those at the beginning of their career who wish to develop with us.

• Scope: Full-time (100%)
• Employment Type: This is a project employment with an initial period of six months. The assignment is part of a three-year government mandate with approximately 2.5 years remaining. The goal is to extend the employment annually for the remainder of the mandate.
