- Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to deliver effective ICT solutions.
- Manage vendor relationships, contracts, and procurement processes.
- Drive innovation by staying updated on emerging technologies and assessing their potential benefits for AKA.

**About You**

- At least 7 years of experience in ICT management, with a track record of leading ICT teams and projects.
- Expertise in network management, cloud-based systems, cybersecurity, and ICT infrastructure.
- Proven experience in vendor and contract management.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to make informed decisions.

- A practical, results-focused approach and a commitment to continuous improvement.
- Familiarity with New Zealand's education sector or not-for-profit organisations (advantageous).

**Why Join Us?**

Joining AKA is more than just a career move—it's an opportunity to make a real difference in the lives of tamariki and their communities. As a not-for-profit organisation, we are driven by purpose, not profit, and everything we do supports the learning outcomes of tamariki.

In addition to competitive remuneration, AKA offers a supportive and collaborative environment where your contributions are valued, and your professional growth is encouraged.
