Description

We love working with great people - and we're working with a couple of legends right now to find an organised and efficient Executive Assistant to support them as their business grows. This is a newly created role with unreal potential for growth, and an incredibly exciting opportunity for the right person. If you count yourself as a weapon in the office and you're keen to join a fun, friendly team with big goals and a bright future, keep reading. + What's in it for you: * A driven, focused and dedicated team who love their work * Fun, friendly workplace where you can be the best version of yourself * Newly renovated, sun-soaked office (with free parking!) * Opportunity to grow and take on more responsibility over time * $70,000 - $75,000 FTE - part-time hours negotiable + Role: Picture this - a couple of your classic kiwi lads, born and bred in Christchurch with big love for the city. They saw an opportunity and took it - they bought a tired house that needed a bit of love, got some expert tradies in to tidy it up, and put it back into the world again shiny and new. One house turned to two, two turned to three - and out of nowhere a friendship became a partnership, and an opportunity became a business. 10 years on and work is booming - multiple renovations underway across the city, a humming rental portfolio, new residential developments popping up left right and centre, and commercial developments on the drawing board. The lads have achieved great things a result of their just-say-yes attitude, strong relationships around town and their knack for construction and property - it's one exciting project after another, and it's time to level up in the office with an Executive Assistant to whip operations into shape. We're looking for a jewel in the crown - a proactive, reliable, go-getter who can turn chaos into clear structure, and ideas into action. This role would suit someone young, hungry and with something to prove, or a new parent returning to work, whose skill set allows them to achieve more in school hours than most can in a full working day. What's most important is attitude - this is a varied role where you'll be responsible for everything from cleaning up messy inboxes and reconciling bills, creating filing systems, dashboards and reporting tools, providing project support by communicating with clients and contractors, and keeping an eye on social media marketing and online advertising performance - so you've got to be up for anything! If you're passionate about property, excited by the idea of wearing many hats, and keen to sink your teeth into a new challenge, we want to hear from you. + What we are looking for: * Minimum 2 years working in an office environment - experience with Xero and project management tools beneficial * Experience implementing systems and processes to improve efficiency * Clear communication and strong time management skills * Honest and trustworthy with low ego and positive energy * Initiative, proactive attitude and an unbeatable work ethic + Please apply online now, or fire your CV through to christchurch@heights.nz With respect, candidates already living in Christchurch will be favoured, and applicants living outside of New Zealand will not be considered for this position. #SCR-meg-laurenson

The Non-Negotiables - Based in Upper Hutt (Wellington) — mostly office-based, with a mix of work from home. - Between 27.5 and 37.5 hours per week (5.5–7.5 hrs per day). - Own reliable laptop, car, and valid driver’s license. - Able to dedicate full focus to this role (not balancing other jobs). - Strict confidentiality — you’ll have access to sensitive information and must be fully trustworthy. Why Join Us? - Work directly with the CEO and leadership team across two exciting businesses with global impact. - A role that blends high-level executive support with creative marketing — perfect if you enjoy both detail-oriented organisation and expressing ideas through content. - You’ll learn lots of new skills and technologies. - Opportunities to develop your career and grow alongside the business. - A casual, supportive work environment that’s not high stress. - Be part of an ambitious, entrepreneurial team where no two days are the same.
