Starting April 2026, we are looking for a specialist in human resources and organizational development who will take on a broad range of tasks.
The position is limited to 12 months as maternity cover.
In this role, you will design modern learning formats for leaders, support talent development initiatives, and bring the HR and organizational development perspective into projects of the cantonal administration. Together with your team, you contribute to the further development of the learning culture. Another focus is on the topic of AI: you develop foundations and services on how AI changes organization, leadership, collaboration, and learning.
You easily succeed in moderating workshops and events at all management levels. With your open manner, you actively approach people, quickly make contacts, and know how to interest and inspire others in modern learning and development offerings.
What we are looking for

You find it easy to grasp complex contexts and translate them into practical, effective solutions. This also includes a basic understanding of AI, digital transformation, and their impact on organization, leadership, and collaboration.
In addition, you bring project management experience (preferably Hermes) and are able to plan, control, and successfully implement development projects securely. You moderate confidently at different levels, enjoy working in a networked way, and maintain an appreciative, solution-oriented exchange with specialist departments and stakeholders.
You design learning and development processes with commitment, are open to feedback, and bring strong communication skills as well as a high degree of independence and responsibility.
