In her spare time, she loves spending time in nature, meditating, and traveling.
What is your daily job in STAT-UP?
As STAT-UP’s office assistant, I am responsible for a wide variety of tasks, including general office administration, purchasing supplies, organising meetings, and making travel arrangements for our consultants. I also conduct initial job interviews, draft and negotiate contracts, oversee onboarding, and assist the CEO, as well as our consultants with various legal and administrative queries, in addition to conducting research and writing draft papers. When our bookkeeper left a few months ago, I also assisted with bookkeeping.
Could you tell us about some of the projects that you are working on at STAT-UP?
At the moment, I am assisting with salary calculations, organising the logistics for a scoping workshop, and preparing a training on data protection.
What makes these tasks interesting and what are the challenges?
The interesting aspect of my job is that my role is quite broad and varied. However, it is challenging to complete all of my tasks within the 20 hours that I work each week.
What makes STAT-UP special?
What makes STAT-UP special is the freedom that we have to work on diverse projects and tasks, flexible working hours, a highly dedicated and inspiring CEO, and above all, a wonderful, intelligent and supportive team from diverse backgrounds. ?
Wir haben eine Weile diskutiert, ob wir ?ffentlich schreiben sollen, dass es manchmal ganz sch?n herausfordernd ist, allen Anforderungen gerecht zu werden. Woanders ist ja immer mehr Glitzer und alle k?nnen übers Wasser laufen. Aber so ist es nun mal in einem wachsenden Unternehmen, da muss man auch nichts sch?nreden. Trotzdem gilt bei uns die eiserne Regel: Jede überstunde wird durch Freizeit ausgeglichen, auch bei den Consultants. 20 Stunden sind 20 Stunden und 40 Stunden sind 40 Stunden. Ich bin fest davon überzeugt, dass jede:r von uns Zeit für ein Leben neben der Arbeit braucht. Damit die Leidenschaft für die Arbeit auf Dauer bleibt.
