Marketing and Administrative Assistant in Continuing Education

The Department of Computer Science at ETH (D-INFK) is offering a new Master of Advanced Studies (MAS) in AI and Digital Technology. This is a continuing education programme with three associated certificate (CAS) programs. We are searching for a motivated and experienced marketing and administration person to support the programme. 

In Fall 2024, D-INFK successfully launched the MAS in AI and Digital Technology with a target audience of industry managers with any educational background and a minimum of 5 years of professional work experience. The aim is to provide fundamental concepts backed up by practical, hands-on experience that will help these managers work more effectively with teams of technical experts, e.g. software engineers, computer scientists, etc., on AI related software projects in their company and industry. The language of instruction is 100% English, but the native language of many of our participants is German. More information about the program is available on our website.

As the main support person to the programme manager, you will be responsible for organizing, conducting and/or supporting a wide variety of marketing, recruiting, and administrative activities for the MAS programme. Typical marketing activities include supporting marketing campaigns, developing or revising marketing descriptions (e.g. website, brochures) and working with internal and external collaborators (e.g. marketing agency). The position will have routine phone, email or in person interactions with applicants, participants and lecturers to provide reliable information about our programs. Administrative activities include event organization, data management, basic finances, and coordination with other groups within ETH, e.g. room reservation, catering, etc. Occasional evening and weekend work during the semester is required to support events for applicants and participants. Additional responsibilities and tasks may arise as the programme is further developed. 

The position is available immediately. Start date to be negotiated. The position is initially limited to 12 months, with the possibility of an extension, and the prospect of becoming permanent.

We are looking for a team player with good organizational and communication skills. You have a completed business education / diploma or Bachelor‘s degree, preferably in marketing, communications, or other relevant fields. You possess at least two years of experience in marketing as well as good computer and social media skills (e.g. Microsoft Office, LinkedIn, etc.). Very good English language skills are required, and strong German language skills are preferred. Knowledge of other Swiss national languages and experience working with CRM and web analytics tools are a plus. 

We offer a stimulating role in a dynamic team engaged in cutting edge AI training for industry. You will be contributing to the development of a new and highly attractive programme.  ETH Zurich is a family-friendly employer with excellent working conditions. You can look forward to an exciting working environment, cultural diversity and attractive benefits. The working place is located right next to the Zurich Oerlikon train station.
