You will lead service area and project coordinators, e.g. data scientists, NLP and Human Language Technology specialists and software developers, organized in dynamic teams to deliver services to our users. You will contribute to LiRI's ongoing development, including the expansion of research infrastructure and services to meet the changing needs of the linguistic research community, both at UZH and throughout Switzerland.

In addition, you will

- Experience in leading diverse teams with an inclusive and growth mindset.
- Proven track record of influencing senior leadership teams to drive progress and innovation.
