Every year, the Swedish Social Insurance Agency makes 21 million decisions that affect people's lives and society as a whole. We distribute approximately 260 billion kronor annually. These are taxpayers' funds that we manage. It is a great responsibility. That is why we carefully examine each case, follow laws and regulations, inform and guide, care, and show consideration. It is a job for someone who wants to take responsibility. Welcome to the Swedish Social Insurance Agency. Are you a lawyer who wants to make a difference? The Legal Department at the Swedish Social Insurance Agency is now seeking qualified lawyers (specializing as legal experts) for several of the department's areas. Duties and Responsibilities The Legal Department is responsible for the legal governance of the Swedish Social Insurance Agency's operations. This includes: responsibility for legal governance within the social insurance field, which includes developing regulations, general guidance, and legal opinions, responsibility for legal governance within EU coordination of social security, monitoring and analyzing EU Court of Justice case law, and coordinating the agency's EU work and international cooperation, responsibility for standardization and coordination of administrative law as well as matters concerning digitalization, data protection, and public access and confidentiality, responsibility for the agency's regulatory development needs for amended or new legislation and consultations on legal matters, providing legal support to the agency's departments that do not work with social insurance law, including matters within commercial law, security and preparedness, public access and confidentiality, and administrative law. The lawyer position suits you if you want to and can work independently, with substantial personal responsibility and authority. An interest in various societal issues is also valuable. You may represent the Swedish Social Insurance Agency in external forums, for example in meetings with the Government Offices, other agencies, and civil society organizations, as well as in work against abuse and crime in the welfare systems. Part of the work involves developing operations and working methods. You work broadly with many colleagues both within the agency and with other actors such as other government agencies.

We offer stimulating and developmental work with good opportunities to balance work and private life. A good work environment is important to us. Employees have the opportunity to work part of their time remotely. Work at the Legal Department involves handling classified information, which requires high standards of proper handling. Therefore, it is important that you have strong security awareness. Your Background We are looking for someone with a law degree and admission to practice as a lawyer or equivalent experience in qualified legal work. You need to have very strong legal knowledge. Experience from a superior court in the general courts or an administrative court (for example, as an assessor or legal secretary) is a merit. Experience in qualified legal work in the Government Offices or other government agency is also a merit. Your Qualities You have excellent collaboration skills and enjoy working with others to achieve common goals. At the same time, you can take your own initiative, work independently, and take responsibility for delivering high-quality results. You have a systematic and careful work approach. You also have good analytical skills and express yourself very well in speech and writing. You can adapt your communication to your audience and situation.
