An ärendeansvarig, or case manager, is a term used in Swedish administration and public services to denote the individual responsible for a specific case or matter. This person has the authority and obligation to oversee all aspects of a particular case from its inception to its conclusion.

The primary role of an ärendeansvarig involves ensuring that a case is processed correctly, efficiently, and in accordance with relevant laws and regulations. They are responsible for gathering information, making decisions, communicating with relevant parties, and documenting all actions taken. This often includes liaising with applicants, clients, or other involved individuals or organizations.

The scope of responsibilities for an ärendeansvarig can vary significantly depending on the context, such as within a government agency, a municipality, or a private company. In public administration, an ärendeansvarig might handle applications for permits, benefits, or social services. They are expected to have a thorough understanding of the legal framework governing their area of work and to act impartially.

The ärendeansvarig acts as the primary point of contact for the case and plays a crucial role in ensuring that decisions are made and implemented in a timely manner. Their work is essential for the effective functioning of administrative processes and for providing service to the public.
