An exciting opportunity has arisen for an exceptional and experienced Executive Assistant to support our DCE Academic, based across our Unitec and MIT campuses.

• Coordination of multiple projects and workstreams.
• Assisting with administrative tasks as required and directed.

• Engaging with a wide network of internal and external stake holders across projects and workstreams.

Because of the fast-paced and varied nature of the role, confident, articulate, and professional speaking abilities and a strong attention to detail is essential. So is a mature outlook, a cool and calm demeanour, and a good sense of humour! You will need to possess a strong command of the English Language, both written and verbal, and a high degree of computer literacy, with first-class digital record management skills.

"Kua herea mātou ki te whai i te tūturutanga o Te Tiriti O Waitangi." We are committed to creating and maintaining a culturally sensitive work environment in relation to Te Tiriti  o Waitangi.
