Junior Sales IT Security / Account Manager (100%)

A highly motivated team, work-life balance, and a workplace in the heart of Zurich city

We want to offer our employees not just a place to work, but a reason. With us, personal development, knowledge building, and work-life balance are highly valued.

A field of work with a future

IT security is at the top of every CIO's agenda. IT has become one of the most important enablers of performance today – if critical IT services fail, companies must expect high costs, revenue losses, and reputational damage. For this reason, IT security is becoming increasingly important. Companies are aware of the risks and want to protect themselves, but the threat landscape is changing rapidly, and deep know-how and experience are required. For this, companies need a competent partner who brings exactly these qualities, advises them comprehensively, and develops solutions with them that fit their needs. And that is exactly our task.

A team with experience

AVANTEC has always been known for the best security engineering in the Swiss market. We have earned this reputation over many years through our conscientious and outstanding work. But not only in the engineering area do we set the highest standards; every area should be fully customer-oriented and serve them in the best possible way.

We usually spend lunch together in our large, modern kitchen lounge including a "Töggelichaschte" or get a "Zmittag" from one of the numerous restaurants and take-aways in the area. Every Thursday evening, we also treat ourselves to an aperitif in our cozy lounge with a panoramic view of the street scene. We value a collegial atmosphere, both within our teams and across teams. Based on this atmosphere, we not only spend a good time together but are also always focused and ambitious in our work.
