Budget Coordinator for Frederiksberg Municipality's political budget process

Are you interested in the tension between politics and economics, and motivated to create a solid basis for prioritization for the democratic process? Then we have an exciting position as budget coordinator in Frederiksberg Municipality.

About the position

We are seeking a coordinator for Frederiksberg Municipality's budget process, based in the municipal finance department and the Cross-functional Finance team.

In the position you will be responsible for planning and driving the part of the budget process that is aimed at the political level. You will among other things be responsible for the annual catalogs of savings and expansions from planning to adoption. The position also provides an opportunity to play a key role in both preparation and execution of the political budget negotiations.

You will become the natural link from management to the implementing departments. You must be willing to exercise process leadership in a cross-functional organization, where different professionalities and considerations must be balanced in the task solution.

Your daily collaborators will be area secretariats and finance units, which handle the practical preparation of budget material, as well as the coordinator and specialists for the technical budget process, who are your colleagues in the team. The annual cycle of tasks is characterized by peak load in June, August and September with the opportunity to plan time off in the less busy months.

The position is filled as a special or senior consultant depending on your experience and qualifications.

About you

We are looking for a colleague with a social science or similar background. You have a strong process expertise with several years of experience – preferably from municipalities.

You do not need to be a walking calculator or a municipal economics encyclopedia, but you work confidently in Excel and can ask qualified questions about numbers, no matter where they come from.

We also expect that you

• can create structure and drive processes, even if timelines slip and things change
• maintain an overview throughout the entire process, and have an eye for identifying gaps in the administrative processes
• have strong collaboration skills and build relationships across the organization – but at the same time know when to stand firm on adopted principles
• take autonomous responsibility and assume professional leadership of the processes with active sparring to both management and colleagues at all levels of the organization
• have a high work capacity for handling tasks during peak workload periods.

About the team and the organization

Cross-cutting Finance is one of eight teams in the Department of Finance and Procurement. The team has 16 employees, of which six have coordinated functions on budget, budget follow-up, etc. The remaining ten employees support decentralized managers and perform overarching financial functions including population forecasts and financing. We place a strong emphasis on collaboration, knowledge sharing, good atmosphere and good collegiality. In addition, we can offer flexible working hours.

Frederiksberg Municipality is organized into four directorates, which are supported by secretariats placed under the director and by finance units placed under Finance and Procurement. The budget process is therefore a cross-cutting project where several professional disciplines must meet to deliver a good product.

Apply online by uploading your application, CV, transcripts, etc. no later than Wednesday, November 11, 2026 . Interviews will be held in weeks 47-48, and the position is expected to be filled on January 1, 2027.

Salary and terms of employment are in accordance with the applicable collective agreement depending on qualifications and after negotiation with the bargaining organization.
