Finance & Human Resources Manager / Responsable Finances & Ressources Humaines
=========================================================================================

Do you have a flair for numbers, enjoy taking on responsibility, and appreciate working independently in a varied environment where no two days are the same?

The Schweizerischer Freibergerverband (SFV), the national breeding organization for the Freiberger horse – the only remaining Swiss horse breed –, is looking to strengthen its team in Avenches with a

Finance & Human Resources Manager
-------------------------------------------

In this key role within our small team, you are responsible for the finance and accounting of the association while also undertaking the administrative management of human resources. You will work closely with the Managing Director and actively contribute to the smooth functioning of our organization.

Your tasks

Finance & Accounting

• Management of financial accounting and recording of business transactions;
• Management of accounts receivable and accounts payable, invoicing, and monitoring of incoming payments;
• Preparation of closings and participation in the preparation of the annual accounts;
• Preparation of budgets, budget control, as well as preparation of various financial reports and statements;
• Preparation of payroll and processing of social security;
• Preparation of the necessary documents and information for the various bodies of the association as well as for external partners.

Human Resources

• Administrative management of personnel files;
• Processing of wages, absences, social security, and other administrative personnel matters;
• Support of the management with questions regarding human resources and personnel management;
• Participation in recruitment processes and in the induction of new employees.

And because we are a small team …

• Maintenance of contacts with our members, breeders, customers, suppliers, and partners in German and French;
• Participation in various administrative dossiers and projects of the association;
• Support of the team in the organization of our events as well as occasional on-site assistance.

Your profile

You are a careful, reliable, and well-organized personality who appreciates both independent work and collaboration within a team. You are used to processing several dossiers simultaneously and maintain an overview even during intensive working periods.

Furthermore, you ideally bring the following qualifications:

• Commercial training, ideally supplemented by higher vocational training in finance and accounting, or an equivalent education;
• Several years or proven professional experience in accounting and financial administration;
• Good knowledge of payroll administration, the field of social security, and the most important provisions of Swiss labor law;
• German or French native language with very good oral and written skills in the other language; bilingualism is a great advantage;
• Very good knowledge of common IT applications, especially Excel, as well as confident handling of accounting and payroll software;
• Independent, structured, and precise way of working;
• Strong sense of responsibility, discretion, and reliability;
• Joy in dealing with people and strong communication skills;
• Flexibility and commitment, especially during individual events of the association.

Knowledge of the horse industry and especially Freiberger breeding is an advantage, but not a requirement.

What awaits you with us

We offer you much more than a position that is only about numbers:

• A versatile activity with great independence and real responsibility;
• The opportunity to manage your specialist areas independently and accompany your dossiers from A to Z;
• Varied tasks in the areas of finance, human resources, and administration, as well as diverse contacts with our partners;
• A small team in which everyone plays an important role and decision-making paths are short;
• An extraordinary workplace on the grounds of the Schweizer Nationalgestüt in Avenches;
• An activity in the service of a national organization and the only Swiss horse breed.
