HR & Office Manager

Love people, enjoy making things happen, and know how to keep a busy office running brilliantly? This could be your role.

We’re looking for an experienced HR & Office Manager to join our team and take ownership of two important parts of our business: our people and our workplace.

You’ll lead our day-to-day HR function, working closely with managers and employees across everything from recruitment and onboarding through to development, remuneration, employee relations and workplace culture.

You’ll also be the person who keeps our Queenstown office running smoothly. Organised, proactive and never afraid to roll up your sleeves, you’ll make sure the practical side of the workplace is taken care of while continually looking for ways we can do things better.

Events will also be an important part of your role, assisting with the planning and delivery of both internal and external events including team functions, conferences, client events, training days and business celebrations. From the initial idea through to suppliers, logistics and on-the-day delivery, you’ll help create polished, memorable events that bring our people and clients together.

The role will see you:

• Lead recruitment, onboarding, employee relations and performance processes

• Provide practical HR guidance and support to managers and employees

• Manage employment documentation, policies, procedures and HR records

• Support salary reviews, remuneration benchmarking and salary banding

• Manage grievances, disciplinary processes and other sensitive employment matters

• Coordinate training, professional development, engagement and wellbeing initiatives

• Champion our health, safety and wellbeing programme

• Take ownership of the day-to-day running of our Queenstown office

• Manage suppliers, facilities, equipment and office related budgets

• Support leadership with people initiatives and wider business projects

• Plan and deliver events, conferences, team functions and business celebrations from concept through to completion

• Coordinate team engagement, wellbeing and cultural initiatives that bring our people together and create memorable experiences

• Continually look for smarter, simpler and better ways of working
