Job description

Some events are remembered for years. Not because everything went perfectly behind the scenes, but because someone made sure it did.

At RealNZ, we're looking for an Events Coordinator to help bring extraordinary events to life across some of New Zealand's most iconic destinations. From corporate conferences and incentive groups to special celebrations and exclusive experiences, you'll be the person connecting the dots, managing the details, and ensuring every event is delivered seamlessly from initial confirmation through to final invoicing.

This is a role for someone who loves organisation, enjoys building relationships, and gets genuine satisfaction from seeing months of planning come together into an unforgettable guest experience. You'll work closely with clients, operational teams, and colleagues across the business, translating ideas into detailed plans and making sure everyone has what they need to deliver with confidence.

You'll be at the heart of our MICE team, coordinating logistics, managing event communications, maintaining key systems and processes, and supporting the successful delivery of events across the RealNZ business. No two days are quite the same, and you'll thrive on balancing multiple priorities while keeping a calm head and exceptional attention to detail.

• Someone with previous coordination experience in events, tourism, hospitality, or a similar fast-paced environment.
• You'll be naturally organised, proactive, and a confident communicator who enjoys working with a wide variety of people.
• Experience with CRM systems, booking platforms, and the Microsoft suite will set you up for success
• Knowledge of HubSpot, FareHarbor, and the RealNZ product range would be an added bonus.

In return, you'll join a passionate team dedicated to creating world‑class experiences in some of the most spectacular locations in Aotearoa. If you're ready to build a career in events while helping guests create lasting memories, we'd love to hear from you.

What do you get from this?

At RealNZ, you'll be part of a team that connects people with some of New Zealand's most incredible places. We offer a supportive environment, opportunities to learn and grow, and the chance to make a real impact across the business.

And there are a few pretty great extras too:

• Experience Real for yourself - enjoy fantastic staff discounts and bring a friend along for some of our unforgettable adventures, from Milford and Doubtful Sound to Walter Peak, the Te Anau Glowworm Caves and Rakiura.
• Hit the maunga - enjoy a free Cardrona & Treble Cone Ski/Bike pass.
• Medical insurance cover is included.
• And, depending on the day, your “office” could involve a snow‑capped maunga, a remote island, a lake or one of the most spectacular fiords on the planet.

Not bad as workplaces go.

Real people, real places, real experiences. Welcome to Real.

When's the best time to join the Real whānau? Now's good.

We're the conservation business that's enabled by tourism. We're helping the world, one guest at a time, fall in love with conservation. We're inspiring people to leave their places in better conditions than when they found them. We channel a guest‑centric approach that fuels our genuine promise to deliver Aotearoa's most unforgettable experiences.

It's our workplace environment that makes careers at RealNZ more exciting than the regular job. Working for Real could mean you're based anywhere between a secluded island, a scenic fiord, and a snow‑capped maunga. Our people, places, and workdays are a great and diverse mixture. It keeps us on our toes and adds value and passion to our work.

At RealNZ, we're committed to Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. Guided by our values of Pono (Keep it real) and He waka eke noa (We're all in this together), we embrace and celebrate the unique perspectives and experiences that make our team stronger. Everyone is welcome here.
