Controller - Service Management

Project overview

We are looking for a Controller for Service Management.

Background:

At the turn of the year, the Service Committee and Service Management in Lund Municipality will be dissolved. From January 2027, all operations – including meals, cleaning, property management, printing, and transport – will be distributed to new committees. An intensive effort is currently underway to implement this change.

To ensure a well-executed dissolution, the department needs reinforcement on the financial side during the dissolution period. We are looking for a controller who will take clear responsibility for financial follow-up until the last day, contribute to the closing of accounts, and ensure that the operations' finances are handed over in good condition.

-

Assignment:

The assignment is both practical and operationally focused. You will support the management team and operational managers in ongoing work and collaborate closely with operational financial support and the accounting unit for the closing of accounts. What you produce during the dissolution will also be valuable input when the new committees plan and follow up on their finances for 2027.

The assignment includes:

Scope: We are looking for controller support between 60-100%

• Responsibility for financial follow-up and forecasts for Service Management and the Service Committee during the dissolution period
• Producing reports and decision-making documents for the management team and the committee
• Contributing to the closing of accounts for 2026, including reconciliations, accruals, and outcome analysis
• Participating practically in the dissolution of the committee and management, ensuring that the operations' finances, assets, and liabilities are correctly transferred to the new committees
• Compiling handover documentation and sharing analyses and insights that can contribute to the financial work for 2027 in the distributed operations
• Being close and accessible financial support for the operations during the transition
• Other investigations or closely related tasks

Requirements

Who are you?

You are a confident and experienced controller who thrives close to the operations. You create structure when many things are happening simultaneously, prioritize what is most important, and meet deadlines. You are meticulous and document your work so that others can take over where you leave off – especially important in an assignment that involves concluding and handing over. You communicate clearly and pedagogically, and you take initiative without waiting to be asked.

You have good self-leadership, plan and drive your work independently, and are accustomed to taking a coordinating role when multiple parties need to move in the same direction.
