Whether you're arranging travel bookings or attending stakeholder meetings, you'll do it all with your natural flair and unflappable manner.

To succeed in this role, a strong understanding, confidence, and commitment of aspects in Te Ao Māori will be of great benefit in working in this team. You will no doubt have worked with senior leaders, be proficient across the suite of Microsoft products and not be afraid to try new ways of working.
