Do you have a flair for financial management, budget monitoring and interest in payroll management and people economics? And do you want to help support financial management in one of the country's largest public service organizations?

About the position

As a financial partner your primary task is to support the internal payroll management and budget follow-up in the centers in Corporate Services, which delivers administrative services to the City of Copenhagen's seven administrations. You will, together with good colleagues, play a central role in the work with payroll management, budget-follow-ups and forecasts. You contribute to creating an overview of the centers' people economics and a solid basis for the management's financial decisions.

This is an exciting and responsible job with close contact to managers and colleagues in Corporate Services, where you will become an important financial sparring partner.

• translate financial data into clear and usable management information
• provide financial advice and sparring to the centers' management
• contribute to the development and improvement of processes and tools for payroll management
• participate in the team's other financial management tasks
