Consultant

Do you have technical understanding and are you structured? Then we have a position where you get to work with the prerequisites for payroll – the payroll system.

About the workplace

The payroll office currently consists of an office manager and two consultants, where all employees report to the Head of Personnel & Negotiations.

The Payroll Technical Office is responsible for the setup, maintenance, and operation of the Greenland Self-Government's payroll system, which is also used by the municipalities.

The Payroll Technical Office is also responsible for data security on the server and for creating and continuously updating collective agreement tables to ensure they correspond to the applicable agreements. Furthermore, the Payroll Technical Department is responsible for support, training, and courses for the payroll offices in the Self-Government and municipalities.

Along with the payroll system, the programs My Perspective and Webtas are included. The combined programs are managed by the Agency for Modernisation and Public Management.

We can offer you a work environment with engaged colleagues and short communication paths, a professional sparring community, and close dialogue with the local top management, as well as personal and professional development opportunities.

The Economy and Personnel Agency, commonly referred to as ASA, is a joint service unit for the Government of Greenland. ASA is responsible for the accounts of the National Treasury, strategic procurement, collective agreements, payroll and personnel matters, interpretation services, as well as building operations and maintenance.

ASA's three values are:

Responsibility - We take responsibility for our actions, our tasks, and our customers.

Collaboration - We collaborate positively with our colleagues and customers.

Care - We are helpful and take care of each other
