Workplace Winterthur

Start date by arrangement

Do you want to lead an educational organization with heart and impact into the future with enthusiasm? The SalZH Foundation has been supporting and educating children and young people in Winterthur and Wetzikon for over 20 years – from daycare to the end of school. Around 200 employees at eight locations are committed daily to high-quality care, education, and special education. Our work is shaped by Christian values, a family-oriented and people-centered culture, and the goal of promoting children and young people holistically.

For SalZH, the search for a Managing Director marks an exciting transition phase: After more than 20 years, the founder is passing on the leadership baton – and you have the chance to lead SalZH as an educational space into a promising future.

What you will achieve

• You bear the overall operational responsibility for the SalZH Foundation and implement the goals developed together with the Board of Trustees.
• Together with the extended management team (consisting of school management, daycare management, and administration management), you lead the entire organization, develop it strategically, and ensure a common alignment of all teams.
• You monitor the education market, recognize trends, and develop offerings that inspire parents and children.
• You position SalZH and its individual offerings clearly in the market and ensure effective marketing.
• You strengthen fundraising and are the face of SalZH externally – towards parents, authorities, the public, and donors.
• You ensure financial stability – through efficiency improvements and the development of new revenue sources.
