Sharp legal or tax professionals with an interest in criminal cases in the tax/levies area

Do you want to contribute to holding front men and mastermind criminals, villains in suits and keyboard thieves to account? And are you passionate about handling complex criminal cases concerning financial crime? Then you may be our new colleague in one of the Tax Agency's criminal case units in Odense.

You will be part of a dedicated and professionally strong environment with challenging work tasks and an informal tone in a criminal case unit in Odense.

You will work with cases of tax, VAT and excise fraud, possibly within special areas, such as vehicle registration taxes or excise duties. You will receive thorough training and variation in case types and complexity, plenty of opportunities for competence development and a flexible everyday life.

We place a strong emphasis on mutual respect and quality in task execution. We solve many of our tasks on a project basis, and you will actively participate in teams focusing on development and challenging tasks. You will have independent responsibility for your own cases, but there are good opportunities for sparring with colleagues and your contribution plays an important role in solving the unit's cases.

About your work

The Penal, Restitution and Postponement area in the Tax Agency handles tax- and duty-criminal cases against citizens and companies. As a caseworker with us you will get a wide range of tasks, including:

• assessing criminal cases,
• holding meetings with suspects and advisors, e.g., lawyers,
• preparing penalty proposals and drafting charging requests to the police,
• cooperating with police and prosecution authorities and
• leading projects in the unit.

​​ About you

We want you to succeed and thrive in the role of legal caseworker. Therefore, we place emphasis on you:

• having a focus on due process and propriety,
• being results-oriented and having an overview of your own cases,
• seeing the benefit of collaboration and having an interest and willingness to share knowledge with your colleagues,
• having numerical understanding or accounting knowledge, but most importantly not being afraid of numbers and
• being good at formulating yourself and able to communicate complex legal concepts in an easily understandable language.

As a lawyer, business lawyer, tax auditor or cand.merc.aud. you are well-suited for the position, but you may also have another educational background in which you have acquired the necessary professional insight.

It is an advantage if you have knowledge of criminal law and case processing, but not a necessity, as we guarantee good training. We focus on approachable leadership and the ability to bring our differences into play, so you get into the tasks well and receive the necessary sparring.
