You’ve found a place that values your curiosity, passion, and desire to work alongside brilliant people on the things that really matter. There really is only one question: What impact do YOU want to make?

About this team:

Our Technology and Transformation (T&T) team is looking for a new Personal Assistant to join our team in Christchurch to support the addition of new Partners into our practice.

This is a fixed-term opportunity. There are two Personal Assistant roles available. This role sits within the T&T team, while the second role sits within a different team and is advertised separately. Candidates are welcome to apply for one or both roles.

Reporting to our Partners, this role will see you play a key role in providing comprehensive support to them and to the wider team, to assist with driving and implementing initiatives, as well as diary management, general administration support and support to the broader office.

Your typical week will include:

• Diary Management: Proactively managing schedules, ensuring efficient meeting arrangements, and swiftly resolving any potential conflicts.
• Travel and Event Coordination: Anticipating and coordinating travel logistics, accommodations, and meeting arrangements, with added support for internal and external events.
• Financial Administration: Handling expenses, processing of invoicing for Partners, and supporting the wider Consulting team with financial processes. 
• Systems Management: Updating and maintaining vital business applications such as CRM, time management, and billing systems.
• Culture Leader: Actively contributing to office culture development, driving initiatives, and assisting in effective communication management.
• Efficiency Enhancement: Developing and maintaining streamlined office systems to optimize productivity.
• Communication Liaison: Proactively managing correspondence and inquiries with professionalism and accuracy, ensuring prompt responses.
• Collaborative Integration: Collaborating seamlessly with fellow support team members across the organization.
• Supporting the Partners in relation to events/meetings; this may include logistics, preparing material and content and ensuring the event/meeting is a success.
• Office-wide Support: Providing delivery support to the broader office administration group, such as providing support for full office events.

Enough about us, let’s talk about you. You are someone with:

• Experience in a comparable role, with a professional and personable approach
• Strong organisational capability, with the ability to manage competing priorities
• Clear communication skills, with confidence engaging at all levels
• Ability to build effective internal and external relationships
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office
• Strong attention to detail, initiative, and forward planning capability
• A commitment to continuous learning and development

Making an impact that matters, together:

We are driven by our desire to create positive outcomes for our clients, communities, and people. Everything we do is with intent - the intent to make a meaningful difference.

Our shared values are at the heart of everything we do. Living these values, including ‘taking care of each other’ and ‘fostering inclusion’, is essential to ensuring everyone feels included at work and able to reach their full potential. For us to succeed and thrive as an organisation, we understand the importance of creating a culture where diverse perspectives matter and where everyone is given an equal opportunity to grow and develop.
