Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand Vessev Full time
The role

Vessev is creating a new era of how we move on water, and we need a dynamic Executive Assistant to unlock our leadership team and support the wider business. The environment will be fast-paced and incredibly varied and will be exceptionally rewarding for the right person.

You are someone who is passionate about being part of a team looking to make a big impact. You will be embedded into the executive team primarily supporting the CEO and CTO. You will have visibility across all aspects of the organisation as you drive results across multiple verticals within Vessev. Ultimately, your work will drive massive efficiency improvements across the organisation accelerating the Vessev and our mission to propel a more liveable world.

Hyper-organisation, ultra-effective follow-through, excellent judgment, and a certain relentless drive to make things better than they were are the name of the game for you. You must be a strong generalist. Your charter is to make Vessev the best company that it can be, whether that means supporting the executive team or leading your own initiatives to make the company 1% better every day. The role will report to the Chief of Staff whose charter is fully aligned with yours - to make Vessev the best company that it can be.

What your day could look like

Fully embedded in the executive team

You'll work closely with both the CEO and CTO, ensuring seamless communication and efficiency. This includes managing inboxes, prioritising and responding to emails, and coordinating complex calendars to keep everything running smoothly. You'll be a trusted partner in the executive team. Your insight and judgment will be integral to keeping the company's most critical initiatives on track.

Owning office life

We take pride in our space here in Mount Wellington, and you'll be the one who keeps it running seamlessly. From keeping the pantry stocked and maintaining facilities to ensuring the kitchen stays tidy, the office is yours to nurture. Beyond the day-to-day, you'll also coordinate and execute wider team gatherings, manage travel logistics, and handle expense tracking—anything that keeps the team energised, organised, and operating at their best.

1% better every day

Small improvements add up to big wins, and you'll play a key role in making Vessev more efficient and effective every day. Whether it's improving communication or finding better ways to support the team, you'll constantly look for opportunities to elevate how we work. A proactive mindset is key and problem-solving skills will help you drive continuous improvements.

Generalist horsepower

You're the kind of person who thrives on variety and jumps in wherever needed. Whether it's tackling a last-minute project, solving an unexpected challenge, or providing support across different teams, you bring the extra horsepower that keeps things moving. Your ability to adapt, prioritise, and execute will make you an invaluable force in keeping Vessev running smoothly.

Requirements

You do not need to hit every requirement to apply. Within this role, a sense of fun, initiative, and stellar execution can be as important as experience.

  • Prior experience as an EA is valuable, but there are many other paths that the right candidate can come from.
  • Excellent written communication skills.
  • Excellent verbal communication skills.
  • Flexible and comfortable with working in multiple different contexts - the CEO's priorities can differ to the CTO so you'll need to be able to discern what is important to whom with finesse.
  • Strong desire to deliver great results. Caring about outcomes and results is key.
  • Diligent follow through.
  • Extremely detail-oriented.
  • Hyper organised.
  • Highly efficient.
