Curity is a fast-growing high-tech company. We have operations in a number of countries, and that will only increase in the coming months and years. Our staff are diverse, our customers are widespread, and the opportunities that lie before us are massive. Some might find this daunting and scary. Like a good rollercoaster ride though, we find it exhilarating and exciting. To handle the downward dives and the hard climbs, we need to make preparations. One important example is this position.

The Role

Similarly, we see that you’re on a journey and that this job is an important step in that. It represents your chance to step out of the finance department and begin to fulfill your larger ambitions. You recognize that your goals will be hard to meet. Your education and finance-related experiences will help a lot, but you’ll need some additional experience before you’re ready to start your own company or apply for that dream job as a CEO, COO, or CFO. To prepare, you recognize that it would be good to couple your education with more hands-on experiences. For this reason, you are looking for a new job that includes more responsibilities but where some things are normal, easy, and in your current comfort zone.

This position is broad. It includes a lot of different duties. The list is probably too long to include here, and many of them will only be identified by you and the COO, who you’ll report to, once you get going. To give you a sense, they will include such things as:

• Regular finance day-to-day work and reporting
• Budget preparation and follow up
• Planning of liquidity and hedging for foreign exchange risk
• Policy updates and adherence
• Help in preparing, checking, and obtaining audits of regularly produced financials
• Office management
• Payroll (In Sweden but also in 10 other countries with payroll service)
• Vacation planning and management
• Prepare and update employment contracts
• Process receipts and expense reports
• File and archiving contracts
• Maintain and/or ensure proper maintenance of PII
• Help with in-person event practicalities (e.g., shipping and receiving)
• Participate in some negotiations (e.g., of event spaces)

To be successful at these, you’ll need a wide range of experiences, including:

• 7-10 years of experience in finance; experience in office and/or general management is a bonus
• Experience from both large and small organizations as well as startups with the entrepreneur spirit
• Working with export and foreign countries

You’ll also need at least a bachelor’s degree in some aspect of finance or, preferably, an MBA with an undergraduate degree in finance. You’ll also need to live in Stockholm, Sweden since this job can’t be done from afar.

If this sounds like an exciting opportunity, we’d love to hear from you. When you apply and go through the process, we’ll be checking that you have these qualifications and experiences:

• Extensive experience in finance
• Structured and well organized with excellent work ethic
• Analytic and competent to get the big picture based on the small details
• Excellent English and good Swedish writing and spoken communication skills
• Ability to organize, prioritize, and maintain excellent output in a fast-paced, dynamic environment
• Comfortable in a diverse, multicultural environment
• Ability to work well in a dynamic team and maintain high-quality standards
• Willingness to travel from time to time

It would also be nice if you have:

• Experience from conferences, both from a financial perspective and from organizing
• Interest in technical solutions (like Curity Identity Server) but also IT in general
• Payroll experience
• Technical knowledge of financial modeling methodology and finance modeling software
• Experience with tools like Fortnox, Xero, Dicom, and Personio (or equivalent systems)
