ETEL Ltd is New Zealand’s leading manufacturer of distribution transformers, driven by our purpose of connecting people to power. We’re looking for an exceptional Executive Assistant to the CEO to play a pivotal role supporting our CEO and Executive Team.
This is more than a traditional EA role. You’ll be a trusted partner, enabling effective leadership, governance and communication — while also being someone who’s comfortable rolling up their sleeves to keep the day‑to‑day running smoothly.
Key responsibilities include:
- Proactive management of the CEO’s diary, priorities and travel
- Coordination of Board, Executive and senior leadership meetings, including agendas, papers, minutes and actions
- Preparation and quality‑checking of Board and Executive documentation and presentations
- Supporting executive communications and high‑level stakeholder engagement
- Using digital tools to improve efficiency and workflow
- Willingly taking care of the essential administrative detail that underpins effective executive leadership
About you:
- Proven experience supporting a CEO or Executive Team as a senior EA or Executive Partner
- Capable of operating at a strategic, high‑trust level while still owning the less glamorous but essential tasks
- Strong presentation, writing and editing skills with exceptional attention to detail
- Digitally confident, discreet and comfortable working at pace
- Calm, flexible and professional, with sound judgement and strong stakeholder skills
What we offer:
A collaborative, values‑led environment where your contribution matters, genuine exposure to senior leadership, and the opportunity to make a real impact at the heart of the business.
You must be eligible to work in New Zealand and currently reside here.
Ready to step into a pivotal role where no task is too big or too small? Apply now.
