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.

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 and proactive. You like to help people find the answers they need to effect change and to creatively problem solve when there isn’t one.

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.
