Experienced Finance Partner for the Ministry of Finance's Group Finance

Do you want to work with financial management in a central government institution in the heart of Copenhagen? Are you motivated by working closely with the business, and do you have a good eye for processes? Then you should apply for the job in the Ministry of Finance's Corporate Economics, where we are currently seeking an experienced financial partner for the Economic Agency.

About the position You will be part of one of the state's best finance functions in the Ministry of Finance's Corporate Economics. We actively work to develop a simple and efficient financial management that supports the business's needs and gives the ministry's leadership the best possible basis for making decisions.

In the Ministry of Finance's Corporate Economics we have the responsibility for financial management in all ministry institutions, and you will become part of the team that supports the Economic Agency.

As an experienced financial partner you will be responsible for financial management in central business areas in the Economic Agency and come close to decisions on operations, investments, and development. You will help set the framework for financial management in the short and long term and advise the management hereof. You will be part of a professionally strong team where we spar with each other and lift tasks in collaboration. The team consists of colleagues with different levels of experience, and you are expected to contribute to both your colleagues' and the team's development.

We imagine that you have experience with budgeting, financial follow-up or related financial management tasks and can advise management on financial risks and options. It is also an advantage, but not a requirement, if you have experience with larger IT projects and capital management.

Examples of concrete tasks could be

• Budgets and budget follow-up for selected business areas, including advising budget-responsible managers on risks and options.
• Contribute to management reporting during monthly and quarterly budget follow-ups.
• Analyses and decision papers to management on consumption patterns, resource utilization, etc.
• Calculation of prices for services and strategic sparring with the executive management on this.
• Assist project managers in preparing business cases and monitor the finances in large IT projects.

In the office we place great emphasis on collaboration and on solving tasks in a team, so no one is left alone with their tasks. At the same time you will quickly take on independent responsibility for your own deliveries, which you typically will prepare, develop and present to management.

Finally, we strive for all employees to participate in cross-cutting tasks in the office and to gain a broad perspective on the different types of tasks that Corporate Economics handles for the Ministry of Finance. The concrete tasks depend on interests and competencies and are agreed on an ongoing basis.

The working language is Danish.

About you You have a relevant academic education at master's level e.g. cand.merc., cand.polit., cand.oecon. or equivalent experience from a similar position. We also place emphasis on:

• You are numerate and analytical and have experience working with data.

• You can plan and prioritize your tasks independently and efficiently.
