Auckland City, New Zealand Spark Foundry NZ Full time

**Company Description**
Spark Foundry is looking for a Junior Planner Buyer to join our Auckland office.

At Spark Foundry we design solutions for a modern world, we’re built to be different; we have the spirit of a start-up and the soul of a power house.

Our purpose is to Create Work That Matters; to our clients, to our people and to society. That sounds nice, but to get to work that matters you need some key ingredients.

You need Builders and Creators. We call this our Brilliant Thinkers which means exceptional people and work. We are in it together; we back ourselves and each other. We are always moving forward, always seeking solutions and we are relentless caring and understand each other and the world around it.
