You have responsibility for operations, personnel, budget, and working environment for your section. As a member of the unit’s management team, you are responsible for leading and developing the unit together with your colleagues. You collaborate both within and outside the authority to achieve results and create value for our customers. In the upcoming year, we are preparing for a new bankruptcy procedure that will take effect on July 1, 2026. This means that our mission will expand, and we will take on several tasks from the country’s courts. As the section manager of the Northern Bankruptcy Supervision Section, you will lead approximately 18 employees. The employees, who are lawyers, economists, and caseworkers, are based in Sundbyberg, Gävle, and Umeå. The section is new and under construction within a partially new organization. Therefore, you will have the opportunity to help build and manage cooperation both within your own section and with other sections.

You have the ability to lead through change and develop the organization through continuous improvements. Your analytical skills enable you to handle a high degree of complexity in your work and understand how different parts of the organization affect each other. You are expected to make decisions, take action, and lead even when the answers are not clear, the choices not obvious, and the methods not straightforward. As a manager, you show great trust in your employees' abilities, even though you are ultimately responsible for results and quality. You communicate in a way that fosters participation and commitment, and you have the ability to collaborate and promote a good working environment. Being a manager and leader means both challenging others and being open to challenges regarding thinking and working methods.

It is desirable that you have relevant managerial experience with both operational and personnel responsibility. Relevant experience corresponds to within the last three years.

We contribute to a well-functioning society for the public and businesses—where debts and other claims are established and collected in a legally secure manner. With us, you can expect challenging tasks that are also developmental for you. When you leave work at the end of the day, you can be sure that you have made a real difference—for others and for yourself.
