**Mō tō mātou rōpū | About the team**

Alumni Relations and Development comprises the Alumni Relations Office and the Development Office. Based in Auckland’s CBD, at University House on Princes Street (once the first Synagogue in Auckland) the team provides events, communications, research, writing, and web management services.

We are a small, energised team of three who embrace creativity. We are proud of the positive impact we make. We all get stuck in when there is a problem to fix, and we work openly and collaboratively to get the reactive work done, when we are not planning out better ways of doing things for the future.

We have a truly flexible approach to working with the option to work from home or in the office most days of the week.

There are a couple of days a week when you will need to be in the office for meetings, but for the most part, we work really well together using video meetings and digital tools, so you will be able to flex your hours to meet personal needs as well as work commitments.

**He kōrero mōu | About you**

We are seeking someone who has a few years of administration experience under their belt. Ideally, you will understand the culture of being in a service role, with the experience of the end user being our highest priority.

This is a role that will require someone who likes to work in a process driven environment who enjoys running tracking systems and knows how to problem solve to keep things moving and developing as they should be.

This is a role for someone who is energised by a busy schedule with a variety of responsibilities. Who is computer savvy, but more importantly organised, proactive and keen to write interesting content for good causes.

We are looking for applicants to provide us with an engaging Cover Letter that outlines your interest in the role and highlights your personality and passion for charitable work.

**E rapua ana mātou | We are seeking**
- A tertiary qualification in communication, marketing, business, journalism or equivalent.
- At least 3 years relevant experience in a partner management/customer services role.
- Excellent written and oral English as well as accuracy and attention to detail when writing and using systems.
