Your role

As a Business Controller, you have a central function in the department's governance and development. You work closely with the department head and management group and are responsible for coordinating, analyzing, and following up on the operation's results at the principal level.

• Coordinate and follow up on state grants and other targeted assignments.
• Prepare remiss responses, service statements, and political cases, in close collaboration with the administration's quality department.
• Monitor the external environment and follow changes in legislation, governance, and national assignments.

The work is varied and changing, so other tasks may occur, and the content and conditions of the work may change over time.

• Very good ability to analyze, structure, and summarize complex information.
• Very good ability to express yourself in Swedish, both orally and in writing, as well as to write reports, decision support materials, and other qualified texts.

It is meritorious if you have:

• Experience from the public sector or a politically governed organization.

Personal qualities

To succeed in this role, we see that you are analytical and can interpret and process data. With a strategic perspective, you see the big picture and understand the consequences of decisions and changes over time.
