Are you looking for a part-time job alongside your studies that will give you valuable credentials for your future career? We offer an opportunity to gain experience in the finance field and make yourself more attractive on the job market after you finish your studies.
The Department of Information Technology holds a leading position in both research and education at all levels. We are currently Uppsala University's third largest department with just over 350 employees, including 120 faculty members and 120 doctoral students. Approximately 5,000 undergraduate students take one or more courses at the department each year. More information about us can be found on the department's website (https://www.uu.se/institution/informationsteknologi).
As a finance assistant, you will be part of the finance function within the department's administrative group. The finance function consists of four economists, one finance administrator, and one finance coordinator. Within the administrative group, we are 25 people working cross-functionally to provide high-quality support to teachers, researchers, and doctoral students in a creative and international environment.
Job Responsibilities
As a finance assistant, you will provide financial administrative support to the finance function and our core operations. You will primarily handle supplier invoices, travel expenses, and where applicable one-time allowances, as well as other relevant finance-related tasks. As an assistant, you will gain good insight into how finance work is conducted at a public sector workplace, and your responsibilities may be expanded. Other administrative tasks may also occur. Since our workplace is a multifaceted and international environment, you are expected to communicate fluently and answer questions in both Swedish and English.
Eligibility Requirements
To be employed as an assistant, it is a requirement that you are admitted to education at basic level or advanced level, according to HF 5 Chapter § 12.
Qualification Requirements
Very good ability to express yourself in Swedish and English, both orally and in writing
Good knowledge of MS Office, particularly Excel
Completed courses in finance/economics equivalent to at least 60 credits
We will place great emphasis on personal qualities. Working as an assistant involves many contacts, which is why it is important to have a very well-developed service mindset and the ability to communicate in a thoughtful manner. Since finance work is generally governed by clear deadlines and timeframes, it is important that you have the ability to plan, structure, and prioritize your work. We are seeking someone with personal qualities such as accuracy, high collaboration skills, a structured way of working, and who can take on a supportive role in finance work in an unpretentious manner.
Meritorious Qualifications
Experience working in multiple different computer systems, preferably those used at Uppsala University, such as Proceedo, Primula, and others
Well-documented experience with invoice handling and work with travel expenses
Well-documented work experience, preferably from a public authority
