Are you a people-person who loves being organised and making things happen?
Do you love (and are good at!) working with comms, design and events?
We’re looking for someone who has a ‘can do’ attitude and turns that into delivery, to join the Retirement Villages Association of New Zealand (RVA) as our Membership & Events Coordinator.
In this role, you’ll help us deliver great experiences to our members – coordinating events, managing communications, supporting our professional development platform, and ensuring our day-to-day operations run smoothly.
You’ll be joining a great team, in sunny modern offices in the CBD, with free gym access!
What you’ll be doing:
- Acting as the friendly first point of contact for member enquiries.
- Managing our member database with accuracy and care.
- Supporting the delivery of conferences, meetings, webinars, and other events.
- Assisting with membership and engagement activities, including our Te Ara online professional development modules (eLearning enrolments, reporting, and support).
- Developing newsletters, announcements, and other communications (HTML knowledge helpful).
- Maintaining and occasionally editing our member website content.
- Providing general administrative support to the team and assisting with special projects.
To be successful you’ll have:
- Awesome communication and relationship-building skills.
- Excellent attention to detail and a knack for staying organised.
- Experience with CRM systems (or willingness to quickly learn) – if you know iMIS it will be a huge bonus!
- Strong working knowledge of Microsoft Office (especially Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook).
- Experience with content creation and graphic design.
- Proven skills using Adobe Creative Suite (especially Photoshop and InDesign) and Canva.
- Comfort working with HTML to resolve minor website or newsletter issues.
- Ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities with ease.
- A collaborative team spirit and proactive, member-first mindset.
- 2+ years’ experience in administration, events, or membership.
