Specialist: Diversity, Equality & Inclusion (m/f/d)

DE&I at HSG is the central contact point of the university for diversity, equal opportunities, inclusion, personal integrity, and social sustainability. We are committed to a fair, inclusive, and accessible study and work environment and support the implementation of HSG's sustainability and equality goals.
Our core tasks include confidential counseling (e.g., on topics such as inclusive learning and working, harassment and discrimination, accessibility, or family-friendliness), the development of inclusive structures and a corresponding culture, coordination with internal university offices, as well as representing HSG in DE&I-relevant topics.

We pursue a solution-oriented approach to promote legal compliance, quality, and the attractiveness of HSG as an employer and place of study.
