Description:
Right By Me, a nonprofit organization, is now seeking a "Finance Manager" for a permanent position at 50-100%. We envision you working 50% as our sole finance professional in a team of 10 employees, supported by an accounting firm that handles bookkeeping and payroll. While you take comprehensive control of our finances at 50%, we also see the role being filled with up to an additional 50% of something else we need, such as HR and organizational development, grant applications and reporting, internal coordination and administration, or something else we can agree on (feel free to suggest!). Perhaps you're looking for a part-time position and we can discuss that as well. However, the core of this role is finance responsibility. On the finance side, you'll support our Executive Director and Board with budgeting, tracking, and forecasting, and ensure we have well-functioning financial management. You'll also ensure we take responsibility for our project-based finances in relation to various funders and government agencies, and toward project managers and staff who carry project finances and need to thrive and develop within them. Many in our team are young former participants in our programs who are now developing further. You need to be able to simplify and explain financial processes/routines and educate the rest of our team. We need to see that you have previous experience with all of this. Furthermore, you'll be an especially strong fit for us if you have specific experience from the nonprofit sector, Giva Sverige's guidelines, and various types of project reporting to funders such as Allmänna Arvsfonden, MUCF, Socialstyrelsen, or similar. We believe you enjoy structure and clear systems, while also having great patience with the fact that we're a small and agile organization that often requires quick pivots, the ability to navigate uncertainty, and creative problem-solving. Application Deadline: August 20, 2026 Position: Finance Manager Employment Type: Permanent Vacation: 25+5 days Position Size: Part-time to Full-time, 50-100% Salary: Approximately 40,000 – 48,000 SEK per month depending on knowledge and experience, the level of responsibility you take on, and how well you match the existing team. Location: Our office in Stockholm (Barnängen, Södermalm). About Us Right By Me is a nonprofit organization working with and for young people with immigrant backgrounds. Through our youth-led programs focused on health (physical and mental), employment, and leadership, we work to enable our target group to drive their own development and actively participate at all levels of societal development.

The remaining 0-50% you can outline and justify in your application: Describe how you'd like that part of the role to look to match you and us – and why. Bring yourself, your strengths, and your ideas – together we'll see what can grow.

Young people with the power to drive change for themselves and society at large." About Right By Me as a Workplace We are a testbed for social innovation. The future is shaped with us by questioning the established, showing courage, and embracing failures as part of learning. Our work environment is built on trust, safety, and unwavering belief in young people's power to drive change. We are an organization that harnesses our target group's strength and competence by hiring them and creating career paths. Today we have 8 full-time employees in our office, of whom 5 are young people who have participated in our programs. Each young person is supported by an ally. An ally is not a mentor or guide – they are a door opener and power shifter. Being an ally is not a support function; it is an obligation. The role is clear: to actively use your resources, network, and influence to open doors where young people are otherwise shut out and to secure the financial resources the work requires. To match our workplace, we're looking for someone who: Thrives in our environment of energy, laughter, ideas, innovation focus, and a challenging spirit. Holds many threads together, brings calm, and creates trust. Loves working in a team, close to the work, but is also self-directed and structured, good at taking own initiative and responsibility. Can be somewhat flexible – we're a young and dynamic organization in a transformative world. You yourself can in some way relate to our target group's challenges and opportunities. How to Apply: Welcome to submit your application with a CV and personal letter containing 3 points about why you're the right person for the finance role and approximately 3 points about what you'd fill the remaining 50% with (we'll of course have a dialogue about this if you move forward to the next stage, so don't think this is set in stone). Send your application to [email protected] with the subject line "Finance Manager" by August 20, 2026. NOTE: During weeks 29-32 we only respond to urgent emails due to summer vacation.
