**Job description**

**Role**: Administrative Assistant

**Starting date**:15.03.2023

**Location**: Lausanne, Switzerland (on-site or partially remote)

**Your responsibilities**
- To provide administrative support in the areas of accounting, banking, payroll, and processing of reimbursements.
- To provide operational support in the areas of ordering including request quotes, placing, receiving, and organization of orders.
- To establish and maintain an inventory system.
- To provide support on mandatory insurances and permits as well as mandatory documentation with local, cantonal, and federal administration.
- To participate in the initial phases of recruitment.
- To provide partial executive assistant role.

**Your qualifications**

- Experience on accounting, payroll, ordering and/or inventory.
- Ability to work in teams as well as independently and adapt to the startup environment.
- Fluent in English and French (oral and written). Spanish/German are a plus.

**Why you might like this role**
- We are a highly collaborative, interdisciplinary, and pragmatic team and care deeply about creating a company culture that allows everyone to thrive and do their best work.
- We have sufficient funding from investors who are deeply aligned with our mission, so while we are an early-stage start-up, we have the necessary resources to develop best in class research and clinical infrastructure.
- You will work closely with the founder and a highly motivated team of world class scientists and engineers.

**Reasons you might not like this role**
- We are an early-stage start-up, so our processes, company size and personal responsibilities are not yet established and will change faster than in a corporate environment. This means there is a lot of room for you to take responsibility and move fast, but it can also be overwhelming at times.
- Ideally you would move to Lausanne, Switzerland (it’s a beautiful place).
