The role
A growing, values-led New Zealand business is looking for an Office Operations Manager to keep the workplace running smoothly. You'll own facilities, health and safety, and the people processes behind a growing team. It's a broad, hands-on role suited to someone who takes pride in an organisation that works, and who follows through on the small things as reliably as the big ones.
What you'll do
You'll own facilities and supplier relationships, run front-of-house, and be the first port of call when things need fixing. Health and safety sits with you too, from hazard and incident registers through to running the safety committee and inductions. On the people side, you'll handle onboarding, offboarding, employment agreements, payroll inputs, and the performance cycle.
You'll own the office and people systems, act as first line of IT support, and use AI daily to automate and streamline recurring admin and people work. You'll also provide EA support to the leadership team, including diary management, meeting logistics, travel, and correspondence.
What you'll bring
- Solid experience in office management, executive administration, or business support in a growing organisation
- Strong computer literacy across Microsoft 365 and business systems, with genuine examples of using AI to build automations or improve processes
- Familiarity with HR administration, including agreements, onboarding, and payroll liaison
- Excellent organisation and follow-through on detail
- Sound judgement handling confidential information
- Right to live and work in New Zealand
