Are You Ready to Be Part of an Exciting Government Agency in a Transformative Phase?
The National Financial Management Authority is undergoing a transformation with the merger with the National Agency for Government Employers on January 1, 2026. The agency is growing, which means an increased need for support in legal and procurement areas. As part of the merger, the agency will change its name to the National Agency for Government Employers.
We are seeking someone who has worked for a few years and wants to develop in their role while being part of an agency in transition. The Legal Department is led by the Chief Legal Counsel/Department Head and consists of lawyers, procurement specialists, registrars, and an archivist, totaling 7 people. We work closely together and across boundaries. You will report to the department head.
Your Responsibilities
As a lawyer at ESV, you will work with various legal matters and support the organization with advice and guidance on legal issues including administrative law, public access to information, confidentiality, procurement, contracts, and questions surrounding digitalization and data protection. Together with colleagues, you will handle cases with a high degree of complexity. You will independently provide advisory services to the agency's employees and conduct legal investigations.
Your role will focus on public procurement, contracts, and contract follow-up. You will work closely with ESV's procurement specialists and independently conduct procurements, draft contracts, and assist in contract management. ESV procures services and goods for its own operations, a significant portion of which involves IT and system procurements and consultant hiring.

We are seeking candidates who have:
• Law degree or Juris Kandidat degree
• Two years of relevant independent legal work experience within the last five years
• Two years of public procurement experience within the last five years

• Experience with IT or system procurements and consultant hiring
• Knowledge and experience with IT law and digital governance development
• Experience handling data protection issues
Personal Characteristics
We are seeking someone who is analytical and capable of investigating and resolving legal issues, making assessments and priorities within complex contexts. You work systematically, are solution-oriented and results-driven with the ability to deliver within set timeframes. You see opportunities in changes and adapt easily to changing circumstances.
Personally, you are confident and stable in your role. You have excellent collaborative skills, easily build relationships, and can constructively receive and consider others' perspectives.
We will place significant emphasis on your personal characteristics.
