Your responsibilities

  • Continuously develop and improve pathways to guide diverse startup teams from the value proposition stage through to investment readiness. Support teams in the technological, market-related, and entrepre-neurial development of their projects (e.g., strategic development of proof-of-concepts, setting up pilot projects, building a team, and go-to-market strategies).
  • Coordinate cooperation with internal and external entrepreneurship coaches and mentors, including founder-coach matching, onboarding, and feedback processes.
  • Further develop the portfolio and performance monitoring system for the venture pipeline, providing transparency regarding the progress, quality, and long-term success of projects and delivering data-driven insights to inform the continued development of support offerings.
  • Work with the team to strengthen the identity of UZH Founders and foster an active entrepreneurial com-munity.
  • Strengthen teams' investor readiness by preparing them for meetings with investors, pilot-, and industry-partners.
  • Participate in internal and external startup ecosystem events in different roles (speaker, ambassador, assistant) to inspire and inform stakeholders about the work of the UZH Innovation Hub.

Your profile

  • University degree in any field.
  • Several years of direct experience in developing technology- or science-based startups, e.g., as a co-founder, venture builder, or member of a very early startup leadership team.
  • In-depth knowledge and direct practical experience with startup development - from idea validation through product development, pivoting, and go-to-market to fundraising and investor relations.
  • Direct experience with accelerator/incubator program management, startup coaching, investor relations, or other key startup ecosystem activities.
  • Strong ability to build and maintain trust-based relationships to achieve UZH goals with diverse stake-holders including researchers, founders, mentors, and investors.
  • Fast-thinking, analytical, and strategic mindset combined with strong execution skills, initiative, and a hands-on approach. Passion for taking on responsibility in a dynamic work environment, and a willingness to go the extra mile to help UZH members to achieve their entrepreneurship goals.
  • Experience with benchmarking and process improvement in any startup or commercial context.
  • An existing local and/or international startup-related network (investors, customers, etc.) is an advantage.
  • A team-oriented personality and a strong communicator with a passion for enabling talents to become entrepreneurs, translating research insights into economic and societal impact.
  • Excellent command of written and spoken English; good working knowledge of German required.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
