• Capture, document, and utilize knowledge to resolve incidents and service requests as quickly as possible.
• Identify and implement efficiency improvements in team practices, processes, and systems.

Our Investment in You

• Work with an amazing, supportive, and fun team (even if we do say so ourselves…).
• Enjoy the usual benefits, but better – 4% KiwiSaver, the option to buy extra leave, paid volunteer days, free fruit in the office, and free life and medical insurance.
• Access as much professional development as you can handle!
