Student assistant for cross-state financial management and implementation

Would you like to help set the direction for sound financial management across the state? And are you motivated by a steep learning curve and a high professional ambition level?

About the position We are looking for a sharp and structured student assistant who can contribute to our many projects in the Office for Financial Management and Implementation. We work, among other things, to support and advise on governance across the state. We have, among other things, delivered financial management models, management information, operations management, goal and results management, capacity building, etc., and we also run a number of networks focusing on the governance task.

We are also responsible for the ongoing implementation of several of the Financial Agency’s digital solutions (e.g. payroll and accounting systems).

As a student assistant you will among other things be able to participate in tasks such as:

• Contribute to cross-cutting analyses with a focus on the governance agenda, e.g. sound financial management or rules that create value.
• Contribute to analyses of the governance of state institutions as well as development and implementation of concrete governance tools.
• Contribute to the preparation and conduct of network meetings with other ministries.
• Contribute to surveys, workshops and interviews with internal and external stakeholders
• Develop and maintain the office’s methodological framework, e.g. project management tools and implementation concepts.

About you You are academically strong, have a flair for governance and work in a structured way. It is an advantage, but not a prerequisite, if you have relevant experience with public governance, e.g. from your studies or another employment as a student assistant.

Specifically we emphasize that you

• Have an interest in public governance in a broad sense and the interaction between economy and resources as well as business and systems
• Have an interest in organizational development and change management – and communicating about it
• Have an ambition to develop yourself and to create results together with others
• Are skilled in qualitative and/or quantitative methods
• Work structured, both independently and in projects
• Are pursuing an economic or social science education, and have a few years left (e.g. cand.scient.pol., cand.polit., cand.oecon., cand.scient.adm. or cand.merc.).

About us The position is located in the Financial Agency’s Office for Financial Management and Implementation. Here we are currently 25 employees plus a head of office and a deputy head. We are a mix of experienced specialists and relatively newly graduated generalists with diverse educational backgrounds. The office is characterized by a high level of professional ambition and activity, while there is also a focus on making work enjoyable and inspiring.

We place great emphasis on achieving results together, we value feedback and personal development highly, and ensure it is prioritized through regular development conversations with managers and colleagues.

We offer a steep learning curve, where our processes and project-based work approach involve the individual employee developing and applying both classical civil service skills as well as advisory and project management competencies.

For us, presence together with our colleagues matters a lot, and we believe that collaboration and knowledge sharing across the agency are crucial for a good working environment. At the same time, we want to ensure flexibility for our employees, and home office can be arranged on an ongoing basis between the manager and the employee when it is compatible with task execution.

Terms of employment You are employed under the joint agreement between the Ministry of Finance and Public Employees Organizations – The State Sector (OAO joint agreement) and the organizational agreement for Office Staff, Laboratory Technicians and IT Employees (HK) in the state.

It is a condition of employment that you can obtain and subsequently maintain a security clearance throughout your employment period. In connection with the employment, you will be asked to submit a private criminal record, which you can obtain via www.politi.dk , or by physically appearing at your local police station. We will tell you more about this along the way in the recruitment process.

It is also a condition for employment that you are an actively enrolled student in a higher education program.

The employment area is the Ministry of Finance with its affiliated institutions, currently the Ministry of Finance’s department, State Administration, State IT, the Financial Administration as well as the Employee and Competence Agency.
