About the role
We are on the hunt for a hard-working and hungry individual to join our team on a full-time, permanent basis as our Executive Assistant. You will be primarily responsible for supporting the CEO, with Exec team support required and office management duties on an ad hoc basis.
As the Executive Assistant you’ll be the powerhouse behind the CEO, supporting a range of different work threads - this role truly has no limits. You will also be active in the wider Executive Leadership Team activities and will play a critical support role for different meetings across the business.
This isn’t your regular 9-5 - you will be responsible for the complete running of the CEO’s waking hours. You’ll be given all the puzzle pieces, and it will be up to you to work out how to fit them together to make sure the CEO is spending their time on the most important thing each and every day.
The scope of this role won’t be limited to traditional ‘work’ - there will be times when you’ll be heavily involved in assisting the CEO with ad hoc personal threads given the natural work/life overlap that comes with being a CEO.
Halter is a fast-paced environment and no two days are ever the same. We’re looking for an exceptional person – someone with initiative, professionalism, and slick organisational skills. You’ll be able to read the room, sense what’s going on and have super-human judgement skills. You’ll know when to push, and when to pull back. You will need strong prioritisation skills and the inherent ability to multi-task a busy CEO/Founder and workload.
This is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated individual with a passion for hard work (and the fun that comes with it), so if you’re up for a challenge and keen to work in the engine of one of NZ’s fasting growing start-ups, get in touch!
Our Office First Approach
There’s a reason you visit your friends in person, live with your family and don’t do dinners over Zoom. Humans are wired for connection. We believe a world-class, in-person office culture is the best way for high-performing teams.
Being office first is a core pillar of our culture. We believe in-person connections are key to driving your own growth, learning, impact, and building genuine long-lasting relationships. Strong relationships make it easier to disagree, give feedback, and do meaningful and aligned work. We don’t like having heaps of rules or policies, but this means having strong, trusted relationships is critical.
We’re office first, not office only. This means working from the office everyday is our default setting, but we flex when we need to. We have a high-trust culture, so everyone is trusted to do what’s best for Halter.
Our office vibe is something special, it’s hard to describe until you’re here, but people at Halter who have come from fully remote or hybrid companies say they could never go back - the high energy and spectacular people they are now surrounded by everyday makes work so enjoyable. Your growth, your learning and your impact is truly unlimited here, and a big part of that comes from being together solving problems, innovating, building context, and constantly learning from each other.
