It suits you if you want to combine technical system interest with financial expertise and are driven by improving, simplifying, and creating stable working methods. We primarily work with Unit4, ERP/Agresso, Visma Proceedo, and Hypergene.

Your role will be to act as a central link between finance, IT, system suppliers, and operations, for example through requirement specification. In this role, you need to understand financial processes and be able to translate needs into well-functioning system support, clear requirements, and more efficient working methods.

You will belong to the Finance Section but will also collaborate with colleagues from across the Finance and Planning Department and the rest of the headquarters, for example, with system support and advice during year-end closing, budget work, follow-up, reporting, and various projects.

Requirements:

• University education in economics, information systems science, or other education deemed relevant by SiS
