We are looking for a
Assistant for Production and Event Administration
in a part-time position (approx. 20-30%) from January 1, 2025 - Residential / remote working location Zurich/German-speaking Switzerland
Application deadline: December 4, 2024
LUHMEN D'ARC is a label for the production and presentation of various cultural event and mediation formats, including community events and workshops, talks and lectures, but occasionally also performances and installations. Inventive and experimental, practical as well as theoretical, we deal with bodies, intimacies and emotions as well as with the diversity of sexualities, lust, displeasure and desire. We prefer critical perspectives and cultural studies approaches, and like to draw inspiration from mediation and reflection strategies of performative arts and their participatory forms. We work together with people from cultural studies and the humanities, with choreographers, performers and visual artists, with body and sex workers and specialists from the so-called sex-positive and BDSM scene.
In terms of personnel, we are a small label - cooperation takes place primarily with one person, the management - that wants to further develop the diversity and scope of its activities. We currently organize 80-100 events a year. This requires an increasing organizational and administrative commitment. We are looking for an assistant for production and event administration for a longer-term collaboration (at least 1 year).
The variety of tasks:
- Support would be desirable in the following areas. The specific areas of responsibility will be defined in consultation with the respective applicant and depending on qualifications and workload. -
Comprehensive organizational and administrative event support
(planning, preparation, implementation, follow-up)Guarantee & further development of the digital office infrastructure and workflow
Web content management for the Squarespace website and social networks
Ticketing & event accounting
Invoicing, accounting and controlling tasks
Creation and dispatch of newsletters and info mails
Marketing coordination - email, social media & possibly print
Communication with visitors to the events and interested parties
Communication & collaboration with cooperation partners and guests
Most of the tasks can be completed remotely
Requirements:
We welcome people with an interest in and experience with our topics. A willingness to participate in our events would be desirable as a prerequisite for informed communication with interested parties and participants. For this reason, and because regular personal meetings are necessary, applicants should preferably live in Zurich and the surrounding area.
Otherwise it would be important and desirable:
Working independently => keeping an overview, identifying tasks and initiating processes independently and keeping them running are very important - as well as working very carefully and precisely, as there are many small details to consider in many tasks.
Experience with production and administration work in the cultural and event sector
Very good general organizational and administrative skills
proactive communication skills within the team, with cooperation partners & guests and especially with event visitors
Excel - at least basic knowledge is required, training is necessary
Squarespace - preferably experience, training is necessary
Willingness to familiarize yourself with an accounting & invoicing program, possibly the well-known Swiss program Bexio will be implemented - experience with Bexio welcome!
Experience with the workspace tool "Notion"
Experience with social media marketing tools & strategies, enjoy graphic design
German, very good written German => proofreading ability
English, not necessarily very good, but fluent in spoken and written for communication with cooperation partners, guests and event visitors
Less experienced people are given the opportunity to familiarize themselves and get to know the organizer's activities and some administrative tools in a very practical way. More experienced people are welcome to contribute their expertise and own ideas and to help shape and develop the processes and the label.
Working hours:
Initially approx. 10 hours up to a maximum of 14 hours per week in the future
mainly on weekdays, preferably very flexible availability, approx. 2 hours daily
Remuneration:
Permanent position with 40 hours / month
=> Monthly salary net CHF 1'000,-
As a cultural event label, LUHMEN D'ARC is in principle not profit-oriented: the wide range of events on offer is currently only possible because all contributors clearly prioritize content over financial interests. We are aware that our proposed remuneration - which is only negotiable to a certain extent - is relatively low. We are endeavoring to change this with the further development of the label.
Application:
We look forward to receiving meaningful applications with a short letter of motivation and CV
