Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa Full time

Te Papa stands proud as an iconic national building housing the treasures of the nation and is a vibrant destination for both national and international visitors.

We've now also partnered with Wellington City Council to operate Tākina, Wellington's newest Convention and Exhibition Centre. Our Venues team is world-class, delivering the event operations and hospitality across both Te Papa and Tākina.


A new opportunity has arisen for a highly energetic and motivated Manager to help lead and manage the Venues Operations team who provide venue services at Te Papa and Tākina.


Ideally you will have:

  • 35 years' recent experience in a people management role, leading, developing and managing team and individual performance
  • Solid leadership and people skills with the ability to develop and maintain effective internal and stakeholder relationships
  • Experience in delivering conference and events services to a consistent high standard
  • Strong work ethic combined with a high level of professionalism
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills
  • Hold a Manager's Certificate (desirable but not essential)
  • Demonstrable continuous process improvement skills
  • Ability to relate to others and negotiate solutions


The priority areas for the positions are to lead and develop the team and ensure the delivery of operational standards for Te Papa and Tākina.


We operate 7 days a week and therefore your flexibility to work over a 7-day roster including Public Holidays and weekends are essential criteria, as is the flexibility to work in varying locations across Te Papa and Tākina.


Applications close on 19 March 2023


This is a permanent role and applicants must have the ability to obtain and maintain the legal right to work in New Zealand.


Prior to Te Papa confirming any offer of employment, pre-employment checks will be undertaken including criminal conviction history and reference checking as a minimum.
