SP Basel-Stadt is looking for, as of 1 January 2027 or by arrangement, a:

Party Secretary: Political Bodies & Communication (shared secretariat management), 80%

The party secretariat is the control center of the Sozialdemokratische Partei Basel-Stadt. It is responsible for the planning and coordination of political activities in cooperation with the various bodies as well as for the administrative management of the party. The management of the secretariat is held by three people in shared co-management. For the succession in the area of Political Bodies & Communication, we are looking for a party secretary by arrangement.

As Party Secretary: Political Bodies & Communication, you are responsible for the following areas:

• Planning and organization of the political bodies (executive board, party executive and delegate assemblies)
• Secretariat of the Grand Council parliamentary group
• Communication of the party on various channels (social media, media releases)
• Conception, planning, management and implementation of election campaigns, voting campaigns and signature collections
• Coordination between the party presidency and secretariat as well as other bodies

The responsible and varied role involves a lot of coordination, planning and implementation in the background - tasks that make the democratic functioning of the party possible in the first place. For this, you bring the following:

• You have political experience or interest in politics as well as proven competencies in the area of campaign work or communication and events.
• You love a dynamic environment, plan proactively for yourself and for others and think in connections.
• You are familiar with digital tools for project management and communication, and you enjoy learning new applications quickly.
• You think creatively, have your own ideas and a desire to actively help shape and further develop the processes, formats and communication of the party.
• You want to carry the joint responsibility for the leadership and organization of the political secretariat in a three-person team and jointly maintain forms of daily synchronized cooperation that also work in hectic times. Taking over tasks from your teammates is as much a matter of course for you as handing something over.
• You know how to ensure focus and personal recovery in a working day characterized by the unexpected, evening meetings and occasional weekend assignments.
• You bring sensitivity to diversity and inclusion and identify with the SP and its values.

We offer you the opportunity to make a professional contribution to a social and open Switzerland. Your workplace is the party secretariat at Claraplatz. Modern working conditions await you.

The interview processes are planned for the following time windows:

1st round: 19 October (afternoon), 2nd round: 26 October (afternoon). The selection by the party executive will take place on 29 October (evening).

For further information, Vice President Thomas Fastermann (thomas.fastermann@sp-bs.ch, 077 414 03 19) is at your disposal. We look forward to receiving your application by 10 October at bewerbung@sp-bs.ch.
