What our employees say
I experience Profond as a very progressive employer that does a lot for its employees. Thanks to the latest IT support, I can do my work flexibly and independently of location and thus optimally reconcile it with my family activities.
«I decided to join Profond because I wanted to change sides in the second stage of my professional life. After many years of managing portfolios of pension fund clients at banks, I now use my investment knowledge and experience to ensure that the savings assets of all Profond's policyholders grow in the best possible way.

My work is very varied. I enjoy working together in our fantastic, highly qualified team. Profond enables me to combine family and professional development. I also like the good size of the company, the shared events and the fact that everyone knows each other at Profond.
«In 2015, I started at Profond as assistant to the Head of Real Estate with a 40% work quota. At that time, the real estate department was still small with a limited portfolio. Since then, a lot has happened and today we are a team of about a dozen people. In 2016, at the same time as the purchase of a large portfolio, the investment foundation was established and expanded as a separate entity. It was very exciting to be involved in the establishment of the investment foundation from the outset. My activities changed during this time and in 2016 I increased my work quota to 90%. To acquire more background knowledge for the establishment and expansion period, I began further training, which I completed in 2020 with the Federal Certificate of Specialisation in Business Organisation and deepened in 2023 with the CAS Organizational Office Transformation. My work is very varied. I enjoy working together in our fantastic, highly qualified team and with our partners. Profond enables me to combine family and professional development. I also like the good size of the company, the shared events and the fact that everyone knows each other at Profond.»
I value Profond as a modern employer with good pension benefits and many development opportunities. Thanks to the freedom to organise my work flexibly, I can optimally combine my professional and private life.
«Since I joined the Profond team in 2014, I have been supported in my professional and personal development. So I started as a sales assistant, later worked as a junior key account manager and completed further training, graduating with the Swiss Federal Certificate of Occupational Pensions. Profond then gave me the opportunity to use my expertise as deputy head of the back office until I took on my current role as head of key account management.
I value Profond as a modern employer with good pension benefits and many development opportunities. Thanks to the freedom to organise my work flexibly, I can optimally combine my professional and private life. For example, I now work 90% of the time and, thanks to modern IT infrastructure, make use of the possibility of a home office as well as the centrally located office in Lausanne with good public transport connections.
I like the customer contact and the variety that my work brings. This also includes many interesting projects that are characterised by a flat hierarchy and a focus on collaboration.»
I am pleased that Profond made it possible for me to work on this migration project. In my experience, Profond always has an open ear for suggestions in all other respects, too. In addition, I appreciate the support given with further training and the regard shown for my dedication.
As a member of the pension provision team, I take care of all aspects of occupational pensions for the customers in my portfolio. The work is very varied. Furthermore, I like having direct contact with customers and advising them in person. In addition to this task, I was given the opportunity of participating in the work to introduce our new administrative system. I was a member of the team that was responsible for testing the system. In that context, I checked whether various processes run properly and whether they returned the correct figures. And what's more, I made suggestions on how to improve and redesign the processes. I am pleased that Profond made it possible for me to work on this migration project. In my experience, Profond always has an open ear for suggestions in all other respects, too. In addition, I appreciate the support given with further training and the regard shown for my dedication.
After the birth of my daughter I therefore decided to reduce my workload and devote every Wednesday entirely to her. I enjoy every single hour with her to the fullest and am a dedicated and present dad. I haven't missed a single school visit and also take part in village events. I'm grateful to my employer for making this possible for me and for the fact that at the same time I can work in a responsible job.
«Before I joined Profond as an actuarial specialist, I'd spent many years working as an investment adviser and portfolio manager in asset management and completed numerous further training courses. That was a demanding period of my life. I realised back then that the need to find a work-life balance was becoming increasingly important to me. And I also wanted to support my wife's career. After the birth of my daughter I therefore decided to reduce my workload and devote every Wednesday entirely to her. I enjoy every single hour with her to the fullest and am a dedicated and present dad. I haven't missed a single school visit and also take part in village events. I'm grateful to my employer for making this possible for me and for the fact that at the same time I can work in a responsible job. At Profond I'm responsible for building up internal expertise in the field of actuarial practice. Simulations of balance-sheet scenarios, supporting the development of the data management landscape and the development of the risk pricing model are also part of my job. I also have functional responsibility for a young employee. It gives me great pleasure to be doing something for the next generation and to train my colleague.»
