Description of Operations

The Finance Department consists of Financial Management/Accounting, Financial Administrators, and Purchasing. The Financial Management unit handles overall budget, financial statement, and monitoring processes. It provides the administrative departments, committees, and boards with expert controller support on financial and strategic matters.

You will be part of the Support and Development Administration (SoU), which is the municipality’s central unit for development, administration, finance, human resources, IT, and information. Your position is located in the Finance Department/Financial Administration, and you will report to the Head of Financial Administration.

Job Responsibilities

As a Financial Administrator, you will work as part of a team with colleagues. We handle invoicing, claims management, and supplier invoices. In this role, you will be part of the team and perform some of the administrative tasks within the department. The Finance Office switched to the Unit4 ERP financial system on November 1, 2025.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone with a high school diploma or equivalent in finance and computer science, as well as experience that the employer deems relevant. Experience working in public administration is a plus but not required. In your work, you will have many personal interactions, so it is important that you enjoy working with people, have a knack for teaching, are solution-oriented, and possess a strong sense of service; an interest in social issues is also a plus. We require that you are proficient in the Microsoft Office suite—particularly Excel—and that you communicate effectively both verbally and in writing. Great importance is placed on personal suitability. Under the National Minority Languages Act, Gällivare Municipality is the administrative municipality for Sami, Meänkieli, and Finnish. Knowledge of any of these languages is considered a plus when applying for a position with Gällivare Municipality.

Gällivare Municipality offers you:

• Wellness benefits in the form of strength training/group training/Dundret
