mimic robotics is an early stage deep tech robotics & AI start-up based in Zurich and supported by leading VCs. We give industry workers a helping hand for tedious manual labor tasks and mitigate labor shortages with a versatile automation platform. Our automation solutions, driven by dexterous robotic hands and cutting-edge AI trained on human observations, bring a new level of AI embodiment to the real world.
With rapid growth comes complexity, and we’re looking for an Office and Ops Specialist who thrives in a dynamic environment, loves rolling up their sleeves, and can keep our team and office running smoothly while building the systems that will let us scale.
This is not a corporate back-office role; this is for someone who wants to be in the engine room of a startup, close to the founders, and take ownership of everything that makes our company tick day-to-day.
The Role
As our first dedicated Office and Ops Specialist, you’ll be the go-to person for all things operations, from office management and HR admin to payroll support, compliance, and vendor management. You’ll build scalable processes, ensure the team has everything they need to succeed, and free up leadership to focus on product development, customer satisfaction, and fundraising.
We need someone who is extremely hands-on: one day you might be onboarding a new hire, the next negotiating with suppliers, and then setting up a new HR tool, before jumping in to streamline payroll. If you love variety, problem-solving, and getting things done, this role is for you.
What you’ll do
Who are you:
You will have the opportunity to shape a robotics & AI company from the ground up. In flat hierarchies you will work directly with the founders and some of the best talents in the robotics space. At mimic, you are accepted for who you are. As part of our ongoing journey towards creating a diverse and inclusive environment we encourage everyone to apply and we are looking forward to you bringing along your knowledge, personal experiences, and fresh perspectives. Together we can solve some of the greatest challenges in robotics.
