About the Role:

This is a fast-paced, high-impact role where you'll be the go-to person behind a smooth-running office and a trusted support to our senior leaders.

  • Providing high-level administrative support to five senior leaders, including diary and inbox management, meeting coordination, and travel arrangements.
  • Preparing agendas, meeting packs, presentations, and take accurate minutes or action notes as required.
  • Monitoring and prioritising incoming communications on behalf of the leadership team.
  • Managing the daily rhythm of the office — from coffee machines to couriers, you'll make sure everything works like a well-oiled machine
  • Coordinate travel bookings and accommodation arrangements for staff, in line with company policy.
  • Liaising with vendors, customers, and suppliers to coordinate meetings, events, and enquiries.
  • Maintain office systems, update records, and support wider teams with general admin tasks

What We're Looking For:

  • Proven experience in administration, executive support, or office coordination
  • Excellent communication and relationship management skills
  • Strong organisational and time management abilities
  • A proactive, solutions-focused mindset and exceptional attention to detail
  • High proficiency in Microsoft Office and other business tools
  • Discretion and professionalism when handling confidential information
  • The ability to manage multiple priorities and stakeholders effectively

What We Offer:

  • A friendly, down-to-earth team that genuinely supports each other
  • A varied, rewarding role with plenty of autonomy
  • A company that values your ideas and invests in your growth
  • Convenient on-site parking
  • Southern Cross Health Insurance – (after 3 months continuous employment)

This is a full-time role, but we're open to discussing flexible hours for the right candidate. Applicants for this position should have NZ residency or a valid NZ work permit.
