Zürich, Zürich, Schweiz Aepsy Vollzeit
Senior position, in which your skills have a direct positive effect on a key challenge of our generation | part of the core team | cash & equity compensation | 100% | based in Switzerland, only hybrid possible

Who we are and what we are looking for

The mission we have inspires us and challenges us at the same time.

It is work in which skills, thoughts and ideas are poured into a product influencing thousands of souls and hearts.

And with that, comes great responsibility.

It requires passion for the work we do, a high level of integrity and the willingness to try things no one has tried before.

A team full of people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world they live in.


Yes, we are a hardworking team, but not for us alone, not for money or personal fame, but for the people we serve at the center of our efforts: Our team, the clients, psychologists on our platform and supporters across the country.

We are a technology, product and design driven company, but deeply believe in the potential of humanity. Technology is an enabler for change, it speeds things up, turns them upside down.

But it is done by, and should only be used for:
the good of people.

After the first years in a small team, we are now ready to launch to the next phase.

We need a deeply committed professional for a key role in our organization - new member of the core team.

Tasks

  • Responsibility of the structure, quality and further development of the psychological content as well as the Psychologist/Psychotherapist structure on the Aepsy platform.
  • Collaborate and grow partnerships with associations, institutions and groups of interest in and around the field of psychology and mental health as a whole.
  • Coordinate Community work across the Aepsy Providers (+200 at the time) by defining standards, communicating changes, setting up structures and delegating qualityenhancing processes and initiatives.
  • Navigate the highimpact, highdynamic environment of a fastpaced young organization with evolving priorities, limited resources and high levels of integrity and deep sense of responsibility. Flexibility, adaptability, and a handson approach to problemsolving are essential.
  • Empathy, (emotional) intelligence and excellent interpersonal / communication skills to understand the unique and complex needs of clients and providers in the mental health space in Switzerland. Ability to navigate sensitive discussions in the team as well as with stakeholders while maintaining confidentiality and privacy.

Requirements:

What is in your backpack

  • Master's degree in Psychology from a University / University of Applied Sciences and a minimum of three years of work experience (best in a startup environment).
  • A proven track record in a leading role in which responsibility, adaptability, integrity were needed and put to work together with your knowhow in psychology or psychotherapy.
  • A deep understanding of your field of work, a passion for expanding your possibilities, the desire to grow and learn beyond what others are willing to do all in the service of people that need your support, a greater cause.
  • Fluent in English, German, and concepts of the mind and mental health.

Benefits:


Joining us in a senior position means you'll work shoulder to shoulder with the founders of Aepsy, defining, shaping, and co-creating the future of mental healthcare.

With this responsibility comes equity compensation, which plays a key part in the remuneration package next to the cash component.

We want you to be part of this journey with all we've got.

You can design a hybrid work schedule (remotely if needed with some fixed days in our office in Zurich, Kreis 1).

Please note that cash compensation is lower compared to the average high-paying corporate job.

Not Alone, Always together

We are a young, ambitious, and cross-functional team with diverse backgrounds and beliefs. We love conversations about the big picture and the small individual parts. We believe in what we do and work every day to turn it into reality. None of us could count hours in a big company or watch injustice happen. We are also fathers and wives, stand-up comedians, yoga novices, and Zen monks who appreciate and enjoy life.

PS:

If you have read this text until here.

And you are still awake and/or alive.

This might be the position you were looking for.

And we can't wait to get to know you.

... or you are an AI crawling the web.
