About the job
Let's be honest. How often do you think to yourself at work...
? You don’t need a supervisor who
checks if you are logged in by 08:01.
? You don’t have to run every decision through
three departments and two levels of hierarchy first.
? You are fed up with "We’ve always done it this way".
? You believe that common sense
is sometimes more efficient than three processes and four checklists.
? You already get in a bad mood when
five signatures are needed for one decision.
? You think problems should be solved,
instead of holding meetings about them.
If you nodded more than once: Directly with
our client in the City of Zurich, an accounting role awaits you with
