Kōrero mō te Tūranga – About the role

There's lots to do in this job. You will support the smooth running of the team's office by providing administration & logistical support, as well as secretariat services to support internal and external teams, committees, or panels. Booking meetings, domestic travel (via our travel agent), and goods receipting/coding finances are all part of our day to day. We need to be able to respond to the changing needs of the business.

You need to be agile, adaptable, and quick to pick things up, have a can-do attitude and be a team player. Being strong on systems and processes and able to cope with making changes on the fly is a must. Experience is preferred but if you have the right go getter attitude, we would love to hear from you. Perhaps you have a hospitality or retail background and are looking for an opportunity to get into the corporate world.
