We’re looking for a highly organised, detail-focused and energetic Team Administrator to join our dynamic Visits and Ceremonial Office (VCO). If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love juggling multiple priorities, and take pride in delivering exceptional work—you could be exactly who we’re looking for.
Our team is at the heart of some of New Zealand’s most significant moments. We plan, coordinate and deliver high-profile Government visits, national ceremonies, and major events.
From hosting international dignitaries as Guests of Government, to delivering iconic occasions like Anzac Day commemorations, State Funerals, and national events, no two days are the same.
This is not your typical administrative role. You’ll be a core part of a high‑performing team, supporting the delivery of complex, high‑stakes events by coordinating across multiple workstreams, managing competing priorities, and ensuring every detail is executed to a high standard. This is a rare opportunity to contribute to work that truly matters to New Zealand, gain unique experience, and build your capability alongside passionate colleagues in an environment that supports growth and development.
The ability to work both collaboratively and autonomously, including outside standard hours when required is essential.
At the Department of Internal Affairs, we are committed to offering a collaborative and innovative culture where your perspective and ideas will be welcomed. We want our people to thrive within a culture of best practice, while being able to set and achieve goals and being encouraged to challenge the status quo.
