Part-time Office Manager
Paloma, New Zealand
Job Description
At Paloma, we worked Distributed, which means our office spaces are hubs for in-person collaboration, strategy development or simply a place to socialise with colleagues. That's where this role comes in. We're looking for a Part-Time Office Manager to work 16-20 hours/week in our Auckland office to keep things humming, operations smooth and office snacks stocked. This person will be the go-to contact at the office, so whenever our people or clients drop in, they feel welcomed and supported.
What You'll Own
- All the ins and outs of the Auckland Office Management function: this could be communicating with vendors, setting up office maintenance, weekly grocery orders and stocking the fridge
- Support onboarding tasks for local new starters: putting together swag bags, ordering equipment and welcoming them on their first day
- Help to coordinate local events and support in travel coordination where relevant
- Add value and share ideas with the greater Operations team to help us improve our people initiatives
Requirements
We’d love (but it’s not a deal breaker!) you to have:
- Previous experience working in an administrative or hospitality role
- The ability to make a positive impact on the culture, including organise office events
- A highly organised, diligent, and passionate work ethic
- An adaptable approach to issues - ability to look at things holistically with a keen focus on efficiency
- A natural problem solving ability, and be someone who is highly organised and deadline-driven
- Pro juggling skills - almost always you will have a few things on the go at once.
Benefits
We have always been a distributed first company. This allows us to work wherever, whenever (largely) and however we are most productive. We have lovely, modern offices in Darlinghurst (Sydney), Auckland CBD, and Wellington. We've put in a lot of work to make sure our offices are enjoyable places to spend time, so most of our team members split their time between the office (dog friendly) and home (children on laps during Zoom calls).
We also value your health (both mental and physical) and will give you $100 to spend on something health and "fitness-y" each year, whether that's towards therapy, yoga classes, a new plant or new trainers.
Ventures
Paloma Ventures is an arm of the business where we found, fund, and build businesses from the ground up. Working at Paloma gives you ownership in current and future ventures. You can think of it as owning an index fund of early-stage technology companies. A majority of our ventures have taken rounds of external funding and are in growth mode, and we’re helping them rise to the top. In other words, there's some real value there already.
