Operational Coordinator

20 hours ago

Dunedin, Otago, New Zealand Your People Recruitment Limited Full time

Bring your initiative, problem-solving skills, and calm efficiency to a dynamic role supporting key operational projects.

We're seeking a highly capable and proactive operator who can hit the ground running and provide essential high-level support across a range of projects. Working closely with the Operations Team Leader and Service Manager, you'll be the go-to person who keeps things moving — coordinating priorities, managing information flow, and ensuring delivery happens smoothly and on time.

What you'll be doing:

  • Providing operational and project support across multiple workstreams and priorities.
  • Coordinating between teams and ensuring timely follow-up on key actions.
  • Supporting leadership with scheduling, task management, and reporting.
  • Assisting with meeting coordination, documentation, and general team support.
  • Identifying and escalating operational risks while contributing to process improvements.
  • Supporting change and reform projects within a fast-paced, evolving environment.

What you'll bring:

  • Proven experience in an Operational, Executive Assistant, or Project Coordinator role, operating at a senior or strategic support level.
  • Exceptional organisational and coordination skills — you thrive on creating order and keeping things on track.
  • Resilience, positivity, and confidence when handling competing demands.
  • Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.
  • A solid understanding of systems and processes (experience in government or legal settings advantageous).

The Role:

  • Senior-level support position – 6-month fixed term with potential to extend or become ongoing.
  • Flexible hours – full-time or part-time options considered.
  • Ideally available to start within the next 2–3 weeks.

If you're someone who brings structure, initiative, and calm under pressure — and you enjoy being at the centre of activity in a collaborative team environment — we'd love to hear from you.

How to Apply

If this sounds like you, please upload your CV and a brief cover letter today.

You must be legally entitled to live and work in New Zealand.
