We are seeking a full-time Administrator to join the Massey Business School (MBS) to provide comprehensive, high quality administration support within the recently formed Professional Administration team.

Massey Business School is one of New Zealand’s leading and largest business schools.  We rank in the top 200 Universities teaching Accounting and Finance and in the top 300 universities for Economics and Econometrics and Business and Management Studies (QS).

It is expected that the successful candidate will be motivated, a team player, a good communicator, and capable of independent thinking.

Applicants must have at least 3-5 years of work experience in a role that involves office administration activities with a reputed organisation, and experience/understanding of HR and financial processes is essential. Experience with a tertiary organisation will be an advantage.

• Strong problem-solving capabilities, with a high level of maturity, initiative, and personal integrity.
• Accuracy, attention to detail and the ability to question.
• Commitment to ongoing professional development.

Massey University is committed to being a Tiriti-led organisation. It is therefore expected that applicants will have an appreciation of the Aotearoa New Zealand context and of the needs and aspirations of Māori.
