Christchurch, Canterbury, New Zealand Ravensdown Full time

We are looking for a switched-on Executive Assistant (EA) with a professional attitude and experience in providing executive level support to fill the newly created role of EA to our Chief Operating Officer (COO).


About the role


Based in our Christchurch office, you'll be part of a farmer-owned co-operative that enables smarter farming for a better New Zealand.

Our products, expertise and technology help farmers reduce environmental impacts and optimise value from the land.

When it comes to the growing prosperity of New Zealand, stronger rural communities and a progressive, environmentally considerate agrisector, Ravensdown is part of the solution.


This role will be a key position within the business working in partnership with the COO to understand their needs and tailor administrative and executive support as required.

Your daily work will be full of variety and could range from coordinating monthly reports from the Board and Leadership Team, organising travel, project administration, supporting the wider team, to managing events and more.

You will be a trusted advisor holding confidential and sensitive information and always remaining impartial.

About You:


Your personable attitude and approachable demeanour, together with your can-do mindset, will ensure you thrive within our culture that values empowered team members and innovative solutions.

We are after a self-starter - someone who is driven, professional and effective.

In this busy environment, attention to detail is crucial along with a proactive approach and the ability to juggle deadlines.

You will thrive on being able to power through the day-to-day responsibilities with confidence, and your flexibility will see you relish the variety of the ad-hoc tasks.

Your discretion and ability to handle confidential information will prove invaluable.

Ideal skills and qualifications:

  • 7 years' experience in a similar role supporting senior / GM level positions
  • Excellent interpersonal and communication skills
  • Coordination and management of diaries, travel, events, monthly reporting
  • Experienced minute taker (ideally at Board or Executive Team level)
  • Time management and priority setting
  • Excellent attention to detail
  • Advanced skills in the Microsoft Office (365) suite of products: Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Teams
  • Experience in research / project support and coordination

Benefits

  • Life and income protection insurances
  • Superannuation contribution of 5%
  • Ongoing development
  • Great company culture
