Position: Accounting & Backoffice Specialist (f/m/d)
At TheVentury, we are looking for an Operations & Backoffice Specialist to become part of our dynamic team.

In this role, you are the essential force behind the scenes. As an Accounting & Backoffice Specialist, you take full responsibility for ensuring that the operational and administrative backbone of our innovation work runs smoothly.

You work closely with the CEO, collaborate with the leadership team, internal stakeholders, and coordinate with external partners such as tax advisors and property management, acting as the central operational point of contact. Through your work, you create stability, structure, and reliability which are the essential ingredients for turning innovative ideas into sustainable ventures.

Office & Back-Office Management
  • Oversee office operations and administrative workflows
  • Act as first contact for building services and property management
  • Coordinate cleaning, maintain shared spaces, and manage office supplies
  • Organize deliveries (fruit, beverages) and handle ad-hoc purchases
  • Maintain inventory of equipment and materials
Event & Workshop Support (Occasional)
  • Assist with internal workshops and meetings by preparing rooms and ensuring materials/equipment are ready
  • Manage access permissions for participants when needed
  • Perform quick checks to keep spaces functional and tidy
