Napier City, Hawke's Bay, New Zealand Big Save Furniture Full time NZ$60,000 - NZ$100,000 per year

Executive Assistant to CEO – Big Save

Ahuriri

Big Save is one of New Zealand's most iconic and fastest-growing furniture, bedding, and whiteware retailers — proudly Kiwi-owned and family-operated for over 50 years.

We're on the lookout for a proactive, highly organised Executive Assistant to support our CEO and play a key role as Group Project Coordinator, helping to keep our business moving, growing, and thriving. (Bonus points if you're good with plants — our office greenery could always use a friend)


About the Role

As the EA to the CEO, you'll be the right hand to our leader — ensuring her day runs smoothly, priorities are managed, and communication flows effortlessly across the business.

You'll also work closely with teams across the group to coordinate projects, follow up on actions, and help keep key initiatives on track. It's a dynamic, varied role that combines high-level executive support with hands-on project coordination.


Key Responsibilities
  • Provide executive-level support to the CEO, including diary management, travel coordination, and meeting preparation
  • Assist with correspondence, reporting, and presentations
  • Liaise with internal teams and external stakeholders on behalf of the CEO
  • Coordinate and track group projects, ensuring timelines and priorities are met
  • Keep things running smoothly — with professionalism, confidentiality, and good humour

What We're Looking For
  • Previous experience as an EA, PA, or senior administrator
  • Strong organisational skills and attention to detail
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook)
  • A proactive, can-do attitude with the ability to anticipate needs
  • The ability to juggle multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment

Why Join Big Save?
  • Be part of a proudly Kiwi-owned company with a strong family culture
  • A varied and dynamic role with exposure to multiple areas of the business
  • Supportive head office environment where no two days are ever the same

If you're a highly organised professional who thrives on making things happen and enjoys being at the centre of the action, we'd love to hear from you
