Want to help build a company from the ground up? Our partner is a newly formed New Zealand technology start-up bringing together leading local tech companies on large-scale national projects across a variety of sectors. They're running fast and need a capable all-rounder to help get the businesses set up and running.

About the role

This is a hands-on role at the very start of a company's life. You'll set up the systems, processes and admin that their new businesses need, and support a small senior leadership team as priorities shift week to week. Some tasks will be routine. As you prove yourself, you'll have the chance to contribute to business planning, business cases and strategy.

You'll be:

• Supporting company set-up and day-to-day business administration, across a series of new businesses (think creation of bank accounts, domain names, company registrations etc.)
• Providing executive support: diary, travel, meetings and correspondence
• Managing documents, records and supplier relationships
• Project managing where needed, often with external partners (e.g. website development)
• There is also scope to help with business plans, business cases and research, if this isn't within the skillset of the selected candidate.

About you

• A background in business administration, office management, executive assistance or accounting and financial control
• Experience setting up a business or new function, or the drive to learn quickly
• Comfortable with ambiguity and happy to switch tasks at short notice
• Humble, organised and proactive, with a high level of discretion
• A business or commerce qualification is a plus
• A passionate New Zealander who wants to play a real part in building a better NZ

What's on offer

• A ground-floor role in a fast-growing, first-of-its-kind NZ venture, on projects that matter for the country's future
• Real exposure to founders and strategy, not just admin
• Flexible hybrid working, with a break over Christmas included
• A genuine path to a permanent role, including share options for permanent staff

Details

• Location: Auckland CBD, hybrid. Remote applicants considered if able to travel domestically when needed.
• Term: 3 months from December, with a Christmas break; extension or permanent role is possible
• Applicants must be New Zealand citizens

If you are interested, please apply immediately. The timeline on this recruitment process will be cascaded as the role is planned to commence by early December.
