At the Medical Products Agency, we make a difference together. In life and for life. We work for the health of people and animals, for a better Sweden today and in the future.
Are you an economic administrator with experience in economic administrative work and a strong interest in service? We are now seeking a temporary substitute for our planning and finance function.
Our Operations
At the Medical Products Agency's planning and finance function, we have an overarching role in steering the agency and work closely with the operations management. The function is responsible for processes and support in economics, business planning, follow-up, quality, and internal control and governance. Together, we contribute to creating the conditions for efficient, lawful, and appropriate operations.
The function reports directly to the Director-General and is led by a Planning and Finance Director. We are a team of about twenty employees organized into two units with responsible managers; the unit for accounting and the unit for planning and follow-up. In addition, there are employees who report directly to the Planning and Finance Director.
Within our area of responsibility lies work with business planning, follow-up and reporting, and the agency's strategic planning. We are also responsible for accounting, procurement and purchasing. The function also manages and develops the agency's internal control and governance, including the agency-wide management system for business management and shared risk management.
We are now seeking an economic administrator for the accounting unit for a temporary position lasting six months.
Your Tasks
You will primarily work with customer and supplier accounts and tasks related to this, such as incoming and outgoing payments, collection matters, internal and external case handling, and support in economic administrative matters. You will have a lot of contact with colleagues, customers and suppliers, both Swedish and foreign.
Other common tasks include control procedures, reconciliations, and year-end closing work.
The team applies job rotation within their areas of responsibility, which provides breadth and variation in work tasks. Since we work closely together as a team, other economic administrative tasks may also occur.
Your Background
We are looking for you who have at least secondary school education. Post-secondary education with an economic focus is a merit.
You have at least one year of experience in economic administrative work, for example invoice handling, account reconciliations, and work with customer and supplier accounts. You have experience working in the Unit4 ERP (Agresso) financial system.
Experience with economic work in a state agency is a merit, as is experience administering time reporting in Unit4 ERP (Agresso). You have good IT skills and find it easy to learn different IT systems. You communicate well in Swedish and English, both verbally and in writing.
You must be available to start the temporary position from September 1, 2026.
Your Personal Qualities
You find it easy to collaborate, are service-oriented, and take responsibility for your work tasks. You contribute to good dialogue and cooperation while being able to work independently when needed.
You work in a structured and thorough manner, have the ability to balance quality and efficiency, and follow guidelines and instructions in a responsible way. You are curious, engaged, and enjoy learning new things. You like to share your knowledge and learn from others. You are unpretentious, contribute to a positive work environment, and see the value of helping each other to achieve common goals.
We place great emphasis on personal qualities.
