About Us

The Revenue Department of the Swedish Customs Authority has a broad mandate to ensure correct revenue collection, i.e., customs duties, taxes, and fees, through three operational areas: permits, post-clearance audit, and revenue surveillance. This means we issue and monitor permits that facilitate trade for businesses, verify that imports and exports are carried out correctly through, among other things, audits, and monitor that charged customs duties, taxes, and fees are paid. The regulatory framework for these operations is largely EU-wide, and we participate in many international working groups that develop legislation and processes.

The Revenue Department's work is conducted within four units with flexible groups that work on the Swedish Customs Authority's entire mandate but are specialized based on operational needs. The department consists of approximately 350 employees.

We are now looking for a colleague to join the leadership support team at the Revenue Department in Stockholm. The position is a fixed-term appointment for 6 months.

About the Position

In the department's leadership support team, you will work on various issues, where tasks may vary over time depending on current priorities. This may involve preparing materials and summaries for the department management, conducting investigations or analyses, handling internal and external consultations, and working on coordination, for example, by consolidating work carried out across different parts of the department. The role entails significant personal responsibility and requires the ability to work independently, but you will also collaborate with other colleagues within the leadership support team and with large parts of the rest of the Swedish Customs Authority.

Are You the One We Are Looking For?

We are looking for someone who has:

• An academic education in a field relevant to the position, e.g., economics, law, political science.
• Experience and excellent ability to compile, analyze, and present information.
• Experience and good ability to conduct investigative work.
• Ability to independently interpret legislation.
• Good ability to express yourself well orally and in writing in Swedish and English.
• Experience from and good knowledge of work at the Swedish Customs Authority with issues within the Revenue Department's area of responsibility.

It is an advantage if you have:

• The Swedish Customs Authority's basic training focused on revenue issues or equivalent knowledge acquired in another way.
• Experience from working in the Government Offices or another government agency.
• Knowledge of the regulatory simplification work conducted by the government to reduce the regulatory burden and administrative costs for businesses, including through previous assignments to approximately 30 agencies.

Personal Qualities

The work often involves new questions, meaning you need to be flexible, problem-solving, and able to see connections between different issues. Since the work is characterized by many contact surfaces, it is important that you have excellent teamwork skills. You need to be able to take initiative and drive the work forward independently. You also need to be analytical and quality-conscious. Furthermore, you should be a good communicator with pedagogical skills both orally and in writing.

We place great emphasis on personal suitability.
