You will be in regular contact with authorities, parties, and third parties and proactively support your supervisor in all administrative matters.

A strong interest in criminal prosecution characterizes you. You are enthusiastic about technological developments and the digitalization of justice. The role requires a high degree of independence and resilience. You are a dynamic, flexible, and reliable organizational talent with a can-do attitude and pronounced communication skills. You think ahead, demonstrate above-average commitment and team spirit, and support your supervisor. You gladly take on responsibility and have a high standard of quality. You act and think solution-oriented. Integrity and discretion are a matter of course for you.
What we offer you
You will take on a versatile and demanding role in an interdisciplinary and meaningful working environment. Your employment is in salary class 12. We specifically promote your professional development and personal growth. Your workplace is located at the Police and Justice Center at Güterstrasse 33 in Zurich.
