This role is largely BAU, focused on providing networking assistance to an established team based in Wellington.

We'll pay you as much as we can and as your skills and experiences grow, we'll go into bat for you and help you recognise that growing value too. And the best proof of that? Most of our contractor team have been with us for years, across multiple roles, employers, projects, babies, pandemics etc.
