Based in Switzerland, we are a small but growing, English-speaking startup with ambitious goals. We are looking for individuals passionate about behavioral science who want to make a tangible difference.

What you will do 

• You coordinate: Align schedules with clients and prospects to ensure seamless collaboration. Track pending tasks and deadlines, keeping everyone on the same page.
• You optimize: Identify inefficiencies and implement measures to streamline processes, helping the team work smarter, not harder.
• You oversee budgets: Track budgets meticulously, handle invoice processing and generation, and ensure financial accuracy.
• You grow with us: You play an active role in shaping our startup by tackling the things that have to get done. 
• You support BE Projects: If interested, contribute to exciting Behavioral Economics projects and workshops, supporting innovative ideas that drive measurable change.

 
What you bring with you

• Behavioral Economics Expertise: You have a strong grasp of key concepts and can independently apply them to generate / validate insights, design or test solutions using tools like field experiments. A related degree (Master’s preferred) and hands-on experience demonstrate your skills.
• Consulting Savvy: You’re skilled at organizing projects, breaking down problems, structuring solutions, and delivering results. Building strong client relationships is easy for you. Typically, you bring 2+ years of client-facing consulting experience.
• Drive and Resilience: You overcome adversity and are proactive, solution-oriented, and hungry to make a difference.
• Languages: Fluency in English is essential. German, French, or other European languages are a plus.

• Technical Skills: Proficiency in MS Office (Excel, Word, PowerPoint) and a knack for quickly learning new digital tools. Experience with project management and associated software (e.g. Jira, Trello) is a plus.
• Organizational Strengths: You are structured, detail-oriented, and skilled at prioritizing tasks, ensuring smooth and efficient workflows.
• Proactive Mindset: You independently seek out tasks, anticipate team needs, and follow through to achieve results with persistence and reliability.
• Languages: Fluency in English is essential. German proficiency is highly advantageous for local context.
