Incredibly versatile

This makes our work demanding, varied and meaningful. There is room for co-creation and initiative with us.Tasks

- Be a sparring partner: You advise the government council, directorates and offices on a variety of public law issues
- Support municipalities: You thoroughly review municipal regulations and ordinances
- Shape the future: You bring your legal expertise to exciting, interdisciplinary projects of the canton

- Communication skills: Whether government councillors or municipal clerks – you always strike the right tone
- Drive & initiative: You don’t wait for instructions but tackle topics independently and solution-oriented
- Team player: For us, collaboration counts; you enjoy working on equal footing and appreciate a collegial environment
