Vacancy Notice- Financial/Administrative Officer

The Embassy of Sweden in Yerevan is looking for a diligent, reliable and service-minded Financial and Administrative Officer.

This is a hands-on role combining day-to-day accounting with administrative support. We are looking for someone who enjoys working with details, takes responsibility for getting things right and is happy to support colleagues with both routine and unexpected tasks.

Main responsibilities

• Day-to-day accounting, including account coding and registering invoices and vouchers, payments, reimbursements, VAT refunds and internet banking.
• Checking financial documentation and making sure transactions are correctly recorded and documented.
• Budget follow-up and financial administration in close cooperation with the Head of Administration.
• Administration related to different budgets and sources of funding.
• Payroll documentation and practical HR administration.
• Procurement and contacts with suppliers and external service providers.
• Supporting contracts, rental agreements and administration of leased property.
• General administrative support to the Embassy.

Qualifications

• Relevant education and/or practical experience in accounting, finance or administration.
• Practical understanding of basic accounting, including account coding, invoices, vouchers and reconciliations.
• Fluency in Armenian and English.
• Good computer skills, particularly MS Office and Excel.

Experience from an embassy or other international organisation is an advantage, but not a requirement.

Who we are looking for

Great emphasis will be placed on personal suitability.

You are meticulous, structured, responsible and trustworthy. You notice when something does not look right and are not afraid to ask questions. You are service-minded, humble and enjoy working as part of a team.

You are comfortable with routine financial tasks and understand that getting the details right matters. At the same time, you are flexible and willing to help with other tasks when needed.

The Embassy is a small workplace, and we are therefore looking for someone who combines accuracy and integrity with a practical, cooperative and unpretentious approach.
