Auckland CBD, New Zealand STAND UP RECRUITMENT LIMITED Full time

Executive Assistant / Operations Coordinator

Location: Takapuna, Auckland

Type: Full-time, in-office

About Stand Up Recruitment

Stand Up Recruitment is one of New Zealand's fastest-scaling recruitment firms, built on discipline, speed, and results. As we grow, we're not just hiring support - we're investing in a high-performance engine.

We're looking for a driven, organised, detail-obsessed operator to become the Founder's right hand. This role blends executive support + ops ownership. It's perfect if you love structure, thrive in fast environments, and want to grow into a world-class operator.

What You'll Do (Your Mission)

You'll be the one who keeps the levers moving so CEO can lead, strategize, and scale. You'll act as the bridge between vision and execution.

Key responsibilities include:

  • Full calendar & inbox ownership - including strategic scheduling, prioritisation, and gating
  • Prepare meeting agendas, summaries, and action follow-ups
  • Coordinate travel, accommodation, and logistics (local and international)
  • Lead internal projects, drive process improvements, and manage "get it done" tasks
  • Maintain and document systems, SOPs, checklists - always improving efficiency
  • Liaise between the Founder, clients, and internal teams - communication clarity is your domain
  • Handle high-trust tasks (e.g. coordinating with legal, accounting, partner stakeholders)
  • Occasionally jump into ad hoc business or personal tasks, as needed

Who You Are

You might already be an experienced EA or you might be a high-performing operator who's ready to step up. Either way - this is a role of high ownership, not passive support.

You are:

  • Obsessively organised & dependable - you never drop the ball
  • A sharp communicator - your writing, tone, and presentation are always on point
  • Detail-focused - accuracy is your default
  • Proactive - you see issues before they escalate
  • Hugely coachable & humble - you want to get better every day
  • Driven - you demand excellence of yourself and inspire it in others

BONUS STRENGTH (not required): Microsoft Workspace, Airtable, Xero, JobAdder - but we'll teach you.

What You'll Get

  • Direct mentorship from Les, working side-by-side
  • Training in world-class systems, frameworks, and high-performance operating methods
  • Real ownership - you won't just be "doing tasks," you'll deliver outcomes
  • A fast-paced, disciplined environment with enormous upside
  • Competitive salary and growth trajectory
