**Finance Coordinator**
- Mix of accounts payable, accounts receivable and credit card administration
- Bring your ideas on how we can improve our processes and they way we work
- Support our people here in NZ and at posts and embassies all over the world
- Based in Wellington Head Office

**Korero mo te turanga -** **About the role**

We are a small but committed and supportive team, valued for the work we do because we are known for building strong relationships and always questioning how we can do things better - for us and for the people we support, both in Aoteroa and across 62 locations around the world.

As a member of our lovely team you'll notice that the work we do is a bit different from a typical accounts payable or accounts receivable position - because not only will you deliver accounts payable and accounts receivable systems and processes, you'll also be responsible for credit card administration and administering our expense management system.

In addition, you will assist banking officers to process foreign currency invoices and funding requests into our finance system.

Our team agrees however that the most important aspect of this role is making sure we have a customer focused approach in everything we do - so we hope that you are someone that agrees with this too and that you are someone who wants to make a difference by bringing your ideas on how we can do things better for our customers.

For more detail you can view a copy of the position description**here**.

The salary range for this role is between $63,542 - $81,193 total remuneration, inclusive of our 3% employer contribution.

**Ma wai te mahi nei? - Who are we looking for?**

We'd like to hear from you if you are an experienced professional with the following skills and experience:

- Experience in either accounts payble, accounts receivable or credit card administration
- Your ability to work effectively with colleagues, but also to think independently and work autonomously when required
- Your ability to quickly learn new systems
- A strong focus on detail particularly related to data and information management
- An interest in continuous improvement

Ideally you will also have a good understanding of tikanga (Maori customs and protocols), with the ability to weave te ao Maori (the Maori worldview) into your work.

If you are just starting on this journey that's OK too - as long as you have a willingness to learn and a desire to develop your cultural capability. As a Te Tiriti o Waitangi partner, this is important to us and we offer training and support.
