The Prime Minister’s Office is one of the twelve ministries and employs over 600 people. It offers a wide range of interesting tasks. Some of us work in expert positions relating to EU affairs, state ownership steering, communications or financial administration. The office also employs many professionals in positions relating to joint services for the ministries, such as in-house services and transportation, translation, and information management.
Our wide array of tasks means that the office has employees from a variety of educational backgrounds with work experience from both the public and private sectors. The most common degrees held by our employees are Master of Social Sciences, Master of Arts and Master of Laws. The majority of employees with a degree from a university of applied sciences are Bachelors of Business Administration.

We encourage independent ways of working and personal development through training, networking and interesting tasks.
