Tauranga Central, New Zealand Fred Recruitment Full time

We're looking for a capable EA or PA who enjoys working in step with their Director—someone who anticipates needs, creates calm in the chaos, and thrives in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.

This EA role offers the exposure and variety you'd find in a large corporate, within a tight-knit, high trust team that's making a significant impact in the property and construction world. You'll be supporting a Managing Director who can be described as a visionary, driven, and deeply committed to growth, consistency and excellence.

What you will do

  • Own the Director's diary: proactive diary management, prioritisation, forward planning and seamless coordination dealing with vendors and buyers constantly.
  • Be in step with the Director's goals, bringing structure, clarity and momentum to his workload and priorities.
  • Orchestrate activity across the team to execute the vision and deliver at pace.
  • Be the connector—the eyes and ears of the business, maintaining trusted relationships across teams and partners
  • Lift efficiency with smart tech, confidently using systems and AI tools to streamline processes.
  • Provide polished administration and documentation across the group.

The Organisation

This is a fast-moving, people-driven group, dedicated to creating life changing home ownership opportunities.  Founded on the belief that great outcomes come from great systems, strong networks and consistent execution, this team lives its values every day. The culture is grounded, innovative and ambitious—a place where collaboration, accountability and momentum are at the heart of everything they do.

About You

  • Experienced EA or PA with strong commercial acumen and operational savvy
  • Calm, proactive and values-driven, with a can-do approach
  • A natural communicator who thrives on connection and clarity
  • Highly organised with a love for systems, structure and seeing things run smoothly
  • Confident using technology to improve efficiency and outcomes
  • Energised by ownership, initiative and making life easier for those around you

Real estate experience would be great, but we are looking for the right personality.

This will be a cool role, to work alongside an inspiring leader in a business that is growing fast and going places. If this sounds like you, please contact Cherie Hill by clicking 'Apply' today.
