We welcome your application today!\n\nAbout the Workplace\nIn the city, the social services department is responsible for individual and family care. Our mission is to enable residents to become self-reliant in life so they can take an active part in society. We are in the process of reshaping ourselves according to the new social services with a focus on creating a more accessible social service based on three operational areas: Authority, Services and Support, and Housing. We have high ambitions. But to succeed, we need you.\n\nWe are now looking for a Finance Director who is a highly skilled economist, but who is also curious about the operations behind the numbers; the people, the assignments, and the contexts that the economics should support.\n\nFor us, finance and operations are not two separate matters. Our mission is to create the best possible social services for those we exist for, and long-term sustainable finances are a prerequisite for success.\n\nAs Finance Director, you therefore need to be equally interested in the operations' mission, results, and development as in the numbers behind them. You see financial management as a tool for making wise prioritizations, using our resources where they do the most good, and creating scope for social work.\n\nThis is how we believe really good financial management works.\n\nJob Responsibilities\nAs Finance Director, you lead and develop the social services department's financial work and finance unit, which consists of 3 economists, 2 controllers, 2 finance assistants, 1 finance coordinator, 1 procurement coordinator, and an administrator.\n\nYou are a strategic part of the management team and contribute with analyses, perspectives, and decision-making materials for long-term and sustainable management.\n\nYou have overall responsibility for budget, forecasting, follow-up, analysis, accounting, and financial management. You drive the development of our work methods and help us use finance and data as support for decisions, prioritizations, and operational development.\n\nTo succeed, you need to see finance as part of the bigger picture. Financial decisions affect quality, staffing, work environment, competence supply, and ultimately the people we exist for. You help us understand these connections and see the consequences of different choices.\n\nWith us, you need to be able to ask the question: What does it cost?\n\nBut equally important is that you ask: What happens to the operations if we do \u2013 or don't do \u2013 this?\n\nAn important part of your mission is also to create understanding and engagement for finance in the organization. You can make complex financial relationships understandable and usable \u2013 for politicians, managers, and employees.\n\nWhat We Offer\nSocial services is a complex societal mission in constant change. Here, finance, legislation, quality, and the assignment to meet our residents' very varying needs come together.\n\nAs Finance Director, you therefore have the opportunity to influence more than financial results. With your expertise, you create conditions for the operations to make better decisions, develop, and use our resources where they do the most good.\n\nWe are not just looking for someone who can manage a budget. We are looking for you who wants to be part of developing a social services department.\n\nWe offer you a varied, responsible, and stimulating job with opportunities for your own development. The workplace is smoke-free and health-conscious. As an employee, you receive a wellness allowance of 3,000 kronor per year.\n\nQualifications\nYou are confident in financial management and have very good competence in budget, forecasting, analysis, and follow-up. You are analytical and a strategic team player and do not settle for noting what has happened but want to understand why, what lies ahead, and what we need to do.\n\nYou have experience from a politically governed organization and understand the interplay between politics and administration. You can prepare well-founded decision-making materials and are confident in your professional assessments, even when they mean you need to challenge or question.\n\nAs a leader, you are clear, trustworthy, and coaching. You take advantage of your employees' competence and create conditions for development. You are confident in change and can combine structure with flexibility and good judgment.\n\nWe are looking for you who have\n\n- A degree in business economics\n- Several years of qualified experience in financial work and financial management\n- Very good competence in budget, forecasting, analysis, follow-up, accounting, and internal control\n- Experience working in a politically governed organization\n- Experience in strategic work and change and development work\n- Very good pedagogical and communication skills\n\nExperience from social services is a merit but not a requirement. What is important is that you are curious about our mission and want to understand the operations that finance should support.\n\nWorking in Helsingborg City\nDo you want to be part of creating a better city together with the residents of Helsingborg? Then you should work in Helsingborg City. Here you can use your creativity and drive to make life easier and safer for our residents, visitors, and business community.
