To develop, lead, and manage sus.lab projects, we are looking for an impact-driven senior project manager to start as soon as possible, ideally by January 2025.

Project background

One of your main projects will be a four-year SNSF-funded project analyzing the interdependencies, acceptance, and effectiveness of intervention measures to reduce food waste in Swiss households. Our work officially begins in January 2025 and primarily involves qualitative methods, such as expert interviews, focus groups, and workshops, engaging with industry and policy representatives, as well as household members - specifically addressing children, adolescents, and adults.

Have 3 to 5 years of relevant work experience (e.g. consulting, strategy, entrepreneurship, policy)
Hold a completed master’s degree in a relevant field (e.g. engineering, sustainability)
C2 level)
Be based in Switzerland when starting the position (our office is in Zurich and remote work is not possible due to legal constraints)

(Please note: Only applications that meet all the above criteria will be considered)
You are a great fit if you:

Have strong communication, organizational, and analytical skills
Are accustomed to learning about new technologies and delving into technical details
Know how to manage and engage a variety of stakeholders
