Current vacancies

About the role

We’re on an exciting journey of transformation as we uplift our banking operations and invest in our future through people and technology.

We’re looking for an experienced Executive Assistant to provide high level, proactive support to our Chief Executive and provide general support to our Senior Leadership Team as required. From juggling diaries, drafting correspondence and managing events, to identifying and responding to critical or urgent matters, no two days are the same in this busy and varied role!

Your strong organisational skills, ability to juggle priorities and achieve deadlines will complement your proactive forward-thinking approach. You’ll enjoy using your initiative to anticipate what’s needed before it’s needed! Your people focus and natural ability to build strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders will ultimately make a positive different for our clients and community.

Great problem-solving skills, sound judgement, tenacity, a high level of discretion, and a sense of humour are essential!

About you

We would love to hear from you if you have: 

  • Strong experience providing high level Executive Assistant support to a senior leader

  • A high level of integrity and professionalism with a proactive approach

  • A people focus with the ability to build strong relationships with a wide range of stakeholders

  • Excellent organisational and prioritisation skills

  • Accuracy and attention to detail

 About NBS

We’re a full banking service provider, dedicated to understanding our client’s needs and to providing a superior level of service. We make banking easy for our clients – whether individuals, families, businesses or community-focused organisations and work together to support their growth and success.

We believe in placing an emphasis on building long-term, personal relationships with our clients. Every client is more than just a number to us; they’re part of our extended family. It’s why our clients stay with us year after year and why we have multi-generational families who bank with us.

Banking that’s mutually beneficial.

Unlike the big banks we're a mutual society. This means we’re owned by our clients, not shareholders and can think differently about our profits. We invest our profits back into the business to provide service improvements for our clients and offer support to local community groups through our sponsorship and community investment programme.

Our clients love that we play a part in building stronger, more connected communities by supporting and investing in hundreds of charities and community organisations in the regions they live in each year. Over the last 10 years we’ve invested over $7 million into our communities.

What we offer

We know our people make us who we are. In return for your passion and commitment we offer a competitive salary and a generous benefits package including community and birthday leave, as well as on-going personal and professional development opportunities.

It’s an exciting time to join NBS as we continue to grow our business and invest in our people. If you’re flexible, have a “can-do” attitude and want to make a difference, apply today! 

To apply for this role you must be a New Zealand citizen, resident, or have already secured the right to work in New Zealand.
