On behalf of Hazlett, we're looking for an exceptional Office Manager & Executive Support professional to become the organisational heartbeat of their Christchurch office and provide high-quality support to the Executive.

Events & Experiences

• Coordinate a range of important Hazlett events including their Annual Muster, Roadshows, client events and Advisory Board meetings.
• Manage venues, travel, accommodation, registrations, catering, budgets and event logistics.
• Help deliver memorable experiences that strengthen Hazlett culture and relationships.

Executive Support

• Provide proactive and confidential support to the Executive.
• Coordinate meetings, travel, accommodation and key business activities.
• Support the smooth operation of the Advisory Board, including meeting coordination and BoardPro administration.

About you

You'll be a highly organised, practical and trustworthy professional who enjoys making things run effortlessly behind the scenes.

What success will look like:

• Experience in executive support, office management, administration, events or a similar coordination role.
• Strong communication, a collaborative mindset, and relationship-building skills.
• The ability to manage multiple priorities with confidence.
• Strong technology skills and a willingness to learn systems such as BoardPro.
• Sound judgement and commercial awareness.
• A calm, solutions-focused approach when priorities compete.

Why join Hazlett?

• Respected business with a strong rural foundation, a positive culture, great people and a genuine commitment to supporting New Zealand agriculture.
• A flexible part-time role with some work-from-home flexibility.
• Variety, autonomy and the opportunity to make a real impact.
• A supportive, values-driven team culture.
