About Spark


As New Zealand's largest telecommunications and digital services company, Spark's purpose is to help all of New Zealand win big in a digital world.

We provide mobile, broadband, and digital services to millions of New Zealanders and thousands of New Zealand businesses.


We operate in an exciting and constantly evolving industry, where the pace of change brings new and unique challenges every day, so we operate using Agile ways of working to allow us to meet the fast-changing needs of our customers.

Agile replaces the traditional hierarchical organisational structure to produce a transparent, collaborative environment with highly productive teams who are empowered to deliver better outcomes for our customers, communities, and all of New Zealand.

Sustainability:
