The role at a glance
We’re looking for someone to take ownership of 23bis’s administration. You have a strong command of Swiss accounting and employment law. You know how to read figures and turn them into clear recommendations. You’ll support both our internal team and external collaborators with questions about contracts and salaries, in French and English.
What is 23bis?
23bis is a creative agency and production company, B Corp certified, active throughout Switzerland for more than 10 years. We are a team of 17, including 13 people in production, and have worked a four-day week since 2022. We produce films, digital content and communication campaigns for brands, institutions and NGOs that want to do things well.
What makes this role special
You’ll take over 23bis’s administration and organise it in your own way. You’ll see every franc moving through a 17-person SME working across Switzerland, from an invoice from a Zurich-based supplier to the annual closing. This position gives you a perspective that nobody else in the company has, and we count on you to tell us what the numbers say before we ask.
