• Finance & Controlling: Supporting with monthly bookkeeping preparation, expense management, invoice tracking, and monitoring our budget/cash flow.
• Administrative Excellence: Managing vendor relationships, handling insurance/pension fund administration, and ensuring all company documentation (legal and corporate) is organized and up to date.
• HR & People Operations: Managing the "People" side of Correntics, including job postings and applications, scheduling interviews, and refining our onboarding process for new hires.
• Founder Support: Acting as a "force multiplier" for the founders by preparing presentations, drafting external communications, and managing ad-hoc projects as they arise.

To accelerate our start-up journey, we are looking for an enthusiastic, organized, and proactive team member with:

• Educational Foundation: A commercial apprenticeship or business-related studies.
• Experience: Previous experience in a fast-paced environment is highly desirable.
• Mindset: Flexible and hands-on mentality and a very strong team player with a high level of curiosity.
• Core Skills: Exceptional attention to detail, structured thinking, and a proven ability to manage complex tasks and priorities.
• Language: Full written & spoken fluency in English and German.
• Ambition: The ambition to aim high while having fun along the journey.

If you join our team, we can offer you:

• Real Impact of your work, contributing directly to the strategic direction of the company.
• Fascinating challenges with a purpose for a more sustainable and resilient future.
• Flexible and family-friendly work models with options to work on-site and partially remotely.
• Work in a dynamic and mission-driven startup based in Zurich.

 On the part-time aspect: As a growing startup, responsibilities and tasks are continuously changing over time. In this role, you can start with a 20-40% role and, if desired, take on more responsibilities over time. In collaboration with you, we will align the requirements for the position to best fit your skills and time availability.
