Case Officer to the Committee on Foreign Affairs

Are you looking for a unique and interesting job? We are now seeking a new colleague for the Committee on Foreign Affairs' secretariat. The Committee on Foreign Affairs deals with issues regarding foreign and security policy, international operations, development cooperation, international law, human rights, and overarching EU issues.

Riksdagsförvaltningen is an agency whose task is to facilitate the work of the Riksdag. Approximately 700 politically neutral employees work at Riksdagsförvaltningen with many different types of tasks.

The Committee on Foreign Affairs' secretariat has eight employees and belongs to the Committee Department, which consists of a total of 15 committees and committee secretariats, the EU Board and its secretariat, as well as an evaluation and research secretariat.

Your duties

Your duties include preparing background material, writing reports, handling incoming EU documents, compiling material for the committee's deliberations and information sessions with the government, as well as maintaining ongoing contact with Regeringskansliet. You also plan and manage the committee's travels, visits, and conferences. To some extent, it also involves drafting proposals for committee reports and statements. The role also includes assisting the committee assistants or other parts of the Committee Department as needed.

Your qualifications

We are looking for someone who has an academic degree in law, social sciences, or economics, as well as good knowledge of the EU. We would prefer if you have knowledge within the committee's preparation area otherwise and experience in travel and visit management. The work requires you to be able to express yourself well in speech and writing and have good knowledge of English. The work also requires you to have the ability to quickly familiarize yourself with new tasks, have analytical ability, and be able to work under time pressure. Good collaborative skills are important because the secretariat is a small unit and parts of the work are performed in close cooperation with colleagues. We would prefer if you have experience working as an official close to politically elected representatives. Current experience in similar work within Riksdagsförvaltningen, the foreign administration, another relevant agency, or EU institutions is also meritorious.
