Research Associate HR & Governance 80 - 100% #

FORWARD-LOOKING AND NETWORKED THINKING

The Mittelschul- und Berufsbildungsamt (MBA) helps shape secondary level II in the Canton of Zürich. In the area of Finance and Personnel, we support the cantonal middle and vocational schools in financial and personnel matters. In doing so, we rely on trust, personal responsibility, open communication, and cooperation.

To further develop our HR work, we are looking for reinforcement starting from January 2027. The position is limited to four years and offers plenty of room for thinking along and co-shaping.

What you will do ###

Your primary focus will be implementing the personnel law changes of the new school leadership within the Governance Sek II project. This includes permanent employment instead of term-limited appointments for school management, job sharing, and the delimitation of personnel responsibilities between the school commission, school management, and the education directorate. You will accompany the implementation in practice and develop the necessary processes and templates. In addition, you will process topics such as relief, further training, or assessments and develop practical solutions for our schools.

What you bring with you ###

You have a university degree, ideally in law, political science, or state science, and bring experience in the public environment or good knowledge of public personnel law. You enjoy taking responsibility, are decisive, and possess assertiveness. You think analytically, write clearly and understandably, and enjoy structuring and further developing complex topics. Experience in project management, particularly according to HERMES, is a plus.

You work in an organized, independent manner and contribute your own ideas. You communicate openly and uncomplicatelly and contribute to good cooperation.

What awaits you ###

A task with social relevance, with a lot of creative leeway and personal responsibility, flexible forms of work including home office, as well as an open office culture. From January 2027, we will be working at our new, centrally located site at Zeughausstrasse 11 in Zürich. For questions, your future supervisor, beatrice.hasler@mba.zh.ch, is happy to assist you.
