Job Responsibilities

As a Finance Administrator, you will work independently but with close collaboration and support from colleagues in the finance group. You will relieve the department's economists with financial administration but also have your own areas that you drive and are responsible for. You will work with invoice processing, continuous bookkeeping, and accounting issues, and have contact with the department's researchers and teachers, providing them with support in financial matters.

Among the tasks and areas of responsibility are:

• Invoice processing
• Accounting, follow-up, and analysis
• Forecasts and cost calculations
• Budgeting and annual reporting
• Reporting to external funders
• Contribute to the continuous development of routines and working methods
• Other common administrative tasks may be added.

• Very good ability to express yourself in Swedish and English, both orally and in writing.
• Very good IT skills and current experience working in administrative systems as well as the Office package, as you will work in several different administrative systems that are continuously changing.

Great importance is attached to personal suitability. The role requires that you enjoy working with administration, are detail-oriented, and have a good ability to work in a structured manner. Furthermore, you need to be a team player with good collaboration skills and the ability to take responsibility for your own tasks and areas of responsibility. It is important that you are unpretentious and flexible, as the role is broad and you need to be able to take on varying tasks, sometimes with short notice.

The workload varies throughout the year, and you need to be able to work independently, controlled, and structured during peak periods, but also have the ability to drive and plan your own work during calmer periods.
