About this role
At the Swedish Migration Agency, we work with one of our time's major societal issues – migration. In total, we are approximately 6,000 people here, and we have an extraordinarily important job!
We are seeking a controller for the Finance and Business Management unit in Norrköping, Gothenburg, or Stockholm.
With us, you will work on current societal issues influenced by global events. Questions that touch and engage. We offer a dynamic environment characterized by human interactions and continuous learning.
Unit's Mission
In the Finance and Business Management unit, approximately 20 experts work on forecasting, planning, management, controller support, and monitoring of finances and operations. The unit is responsible for several agency-wide processes, such as forecasts, operational plans, budget allocation, budget documentation, and annual reports.
We work in teams based on shared values. This involves sharing knowledge and seeking collaborations within and outside the unit. We value an interest in both finance and operations as we solve many tasks together.
Together, we create value for the agency throughout the entire chain from planning and forecasting to follow-up and annual reporting.
Work Tasks
You will be part of the agency's comprehensive annual planning and follow-up cycle. Together with operational experts and other controllers in the unit, you will work on developing the agency's budget documentation, operational plan, planning prerequisites, annual report, forecasts, and follow-ups.
You will contribute strategic analyses based on new legislation, changes in the external environment, economic conditions, and/or operational monitoring. These analyses often occur in collaboration with other competencies and are of an overarching nature.
