Vacant job

Case Officer for the EU and International Affairs Unit, Ministry of Justice

Are you interested in working with EU coordination and the political leadership's international contacts? Then we have an interesting position for you.

Your working day. Sweden's tomorrow.

We are looking for a case officer to become part of the organization working with EU and international coordination, as well as the political leadership's international travel and visits. The work may involve handling invitations and requests, planning and implementing incoming international high-level visits or outgoing trips for the political leadership, and coordinating the Ministry's contributions and inputs in EU processes, such as COREPER and the Council of the EU.

A large part of the work is carried out in close collaboration with colleagues in the unit and other units within the Ministry, often at a high pace. Changing conditions are part of everyday life, which places high demands on flexibility and creativity. Contact with other ministries and stakeholders outside the Government Offices is also common, both at the national and international levels. Contact with the political staffs within the Ministry is also part of the job.
