Geneve, Schweiz The New Humanitarian Vollzeit

**Hours and status**: Part time (20 hours/wk), permanent

**Salary**:Competitive, based on experience

**Start date**: As soon as possible

**Reporting to**: Finance and Administration Manager

**Location**:Geneva, Switzerland (possibility to work from home some days, but must be in the office at least 1 day a week)

**Advert Closing Date**: 23:59 CET on Sunday 18 June 2023

The New Humanitarian is seeking a detail-oriented and self-motivated Operations and Administration Assistant to join our head office in Geneva, Switzerland to provide high quality and service-orientated administrative and operational support to TNH’s globally dispersed team of staff, consultants and freelance journalists.

The New Humanitarian is an independent, non-profit newsroom that believes in journalism as a force for good. We produce fact-based journalism from the heart of conflicts and disasters to build an understanding of how to improve the lives of the millions of people affected by humanitarian crises around the world.

Our 5-year strategy to become a transformative newsroom sets out our commitments to decolonise our journalism, centre impact in our work, strengthen our newsroom, build a more sustainable business model, and nurture an organisational culture of excitement, innovation, and well-being.

Our small and growing organisation consists of a diverse and dispersed global team, who work from home bases around the world to produce original on-the-ground reporting and policy analysis focused on two areas that no other news organisations cover consistently: forgotten crises, and accountability and innovation within the humanitarian sector, all while paying particular attention to imbuing stories with a diversity of voices, among those in need and those responding, and in particular those of women and local communities.

**The role
This role is an integral part of TNH’s Operations Team, reports to its Finance and Administration Manager, and takes responsibility for two core areas of focus:

- **Operational Support for People Processes**: TNH works with freelancers across the globe. The Operations and Administration Assistant takes care of preparing and issuing our standard freelancer contracts, works alongside the Finance and Administration Manager to ensure timely payment of invoices from freelancers, and prepares inputs for the payroll of our own employees too - ensuring quality control and compliance throughout.

**Who **we’re looking for
Proactive and diligent, you take initiative, work well in a small team, and are motivated to deliver the best level of care and support to ensure the smooth operation of the organisation.

You will possess a client and solutions-orientated personality that can effectively and confidently communicate with both external and internal stakeholders, and have the ability to see what’s not working, and suggest improvements, in particular to make work processes smarter and more user friendly. The ability to work in French would also be advantageous.

The single most important quality for this role is that you are motivated and keen to learn and grow in an exciting and fast-paced scale-up environment that brings many opportunities for professional learning.

**Compensation and Benefits**

Compensation is based on our salary framework. Benefits include:
35 days of annual leave inclusive of all local public holidays, increasing to 40 days after 5 years of service
Paid sick leave, carer’s leave, parental leave and compassionate leave
TNH contribute 75% to required pension contribution
TNH contribute 300 CHF per month as a health allowance
Annual 300 CHF IT/hardware allowance (TNH staff work on their own personal devices. This stipend contributes to the cost of buying or updating your hardware)
