Short description.MANAGEMENT ACCOUNTANT - FIXED TERM ROLE
Great opportunity for accomplished Management Accountant for approx nine months to cover maternity leave. Great team and interesting environment. Full description.
- Nine month fixed term contract - commencing June
- Strong individual required!
- Great team environment, diverse stakeholders
This organisation is looking for an experienced Management Accountant for a fixed term period of approximately nine months to cover maternity leave from early June. And as can happen in these situations, this period is "estimated" and subject to circumstance, which could mean it does become longer term. However, there are no guarantees!
Reporting to the senior finance person within this organisation, you'll be someone who has very good technical accounting skills, but also be a strong and effective communicator. Exceptional communication skills are mandatory because the range of stakeholders within this organisation is both complex and vast and without these skills, the role will not work.
We're also after energy and someone who is not afraid to share new and innovative ideas. You will also be someone who is not a "clock watcher" and be prepared to work the hours when deadlines are approaching. In other words, flexible and proactive.
Whist it would be ideal to be a qualified accountant, what's most important is your practical experience within a "commercial" environment (public or private), and that you have had some exposure to accounting system implementation. It would also be helpful if you had some exposure to Lean or similar BPI practices.
Based in Hamilton city, you will work in a very contemporary work environment with transport and parking easy.
On offer is an excellent salary for this period, the level of which will be reflected by the experience you bring to the role.
If you think that this role is for you and you are available to commence early July, then submit your application via our registration process by clicking on apply, attaching your CV and cover letter (Word format only accepted).

CEO/General Management/Management
BUSINESS MANAGEMENT WITH AN HR TWIST!
Blend of HR, BD, and commercial skills needed to grow this business and enhance the already sterling reputation held by this company. Full description.
- Unique blend of HR & BD required
- Elevate your HR skills to business heights!
- Excellent package including incentive
When I received the brief on this role, my immediate reaction was “what a unique and great role”! Having said that, it’s a difficult role to outline because it's a leadership role that has that "hard-to-find" blend of strong HR technical skills and true business development.
So let’s talk about what we’re after.
For a start, you’ll need to have had very strong core HR experience, whether that be in pure HR or in a management "HR-responsible" role. But alongside that, you’ll also need to be someone who relishes developing business, something that you must have done externally, because the role encompasses “technical HR” as well as developing and building external relationships.
One thing though, this role probably won’t suit someone who has been immersed in HR for their whole career because we’re after business diversity, and in particular external business development experience. You will be commercially savvy and perhaps during your career to date have broadened your experience and held other management roles, but perhaps also have undertaken consulting work in HR or related activities.
Your will need to have a relevant commercial tertiary qualification and you will also have worked across a broad spectrum of industry sectors and sizes of businesses. You will need to understand the SME market (employee levels of 30-200) as this is the primary area where your focus will be. And whilst it’s not expected that you will have intimate knowledge of “all matters HR”, you will have enough general knowledge of core HR and employment law to be able to offer expert advice and deliver bespoke solutions to clients.
The role itself is managing and developing an HR related practice within a broader consulting business. As with this type of role, your experience to date will be the validation that will give you both internal and external credibility to manage the existing team, be able to identify opportunities, diagnose the issues, and above all, provide effective solutions that meet individual client needs.
On offer is a remuneration package that includes an excellent salary plus incentive on team and individual KPIs, that reflects the ability to attract the best around.
If this role sounds of interest and you’d like to learn more, then please click on apply and follow our registration process. If you’d like to have an initial confidential discussion, then please contact Kevin Chappell on 0295-974739.

MANAGER IRIS SUPPORT SERVICES
Exciting leadership and operational management role where you can apply business acumen and influence change in social enterprise environment. Full description.
- Key leadership role with business emphasis in large social enterprise
- Potential to influence change in a very rewarding environment - and give back
- Unique opportunity to apply business acumen alongside social responsibility
IRIS is a charitable social enterprise established 17 years ago. It has grown to offer a diverse range of community-based services to people with disability, injury, or health concern. Their clients are across the "life spectrum" from infants though to the aged. IRIS services have been developed and delivered to achieve outcomes aligned with their vision:
‘Seeing beyond and unlocking the future potential‘
People living a life that is full of vibrant relationships, friendships and experiences that are rich with the activities and emotions of a completely regular life.
"Tirohonga Whanui"
IRIS Support Services is the biggest part of their business, with around 800 staff in the community delivering quality care and services to a substantial number of clients on a regular basis. Imperative to maintaining this high level of care is the successful leadership of this key part of their business.
So we're after New Zealand's best to work alongside the CEO and run this area of their business operations.
You must come from a healthcare or a related services background with relevant qualifications and experience aligned with this sector. What's most important is exceptional capability in service delivery management within the healthcare sector. You will be setting the strategy and direction, maximising efficiencies, and overviewing all aspects of the day-to-day operations within a wide geographic region that stretches from Auckland through the Waikato to the Bay of Plenty.
You must also be able to demonstrate that you have a high level of commercial acumen and be able to bring contemporary business skills to this role.
You will also need to have had experience in managing multiple stakeholders, in particular external relationships, as maintaining these relationships is imperative to ensure success in their business operations and service delivery. Familiarity with negotiations with external agencies such as DHBs, MOH, and ACC is important.
IRIS people are extremely passionate about what they do, and subscribe to a common set of values aligned with their primary position of "social responsibility" and "unlocking potential". You will share this vision, possess the same passion and share the same values. Complementary to this though, you will be able to balance this social responsibility and the business aspirations of the organisation, achieving success with both, without compromise to either.
Seldom do roles like these arise. On offer is an excellent package for this sort of role designed to attract the highest calibre candidate, and includes an excellent base, fully maintained company vehicle, mobile phone and laptop, plus generous leave entitlement.
IRIS would like to appoint someone to this role as soon as possible, but will not compromise the skill-set they are after. We would request that interested parties submit their application at their earliest convenience for consideration.
If this role is of interest, then please submit your application via our registration process.
PLEASE NOTE THOSE WHO APPLIED FOR THE ROLE PREVIOUSLY NEED NOT APPLY AGAIN.

BUSINESS MANAGEMENT ROLE
Exciting leadership and operational management role where you can apply business acumen and influence change in social enterprise environment. Full description.
- Leadership role in social enterprise sector
- Organisation committed to service delivery - above all
- Influential role where you can contribute to change
This organisation is a very successful social enterprise offering high quality service delivery to its extensive and diverse client base. Their community based service is the largest in their business, employing around 800 full and part time people delivering high quality care, and a variety of services.
We're after New Zealand's best to work alongside the CEO and run the day-to-day operations of this business area.
You will need to have some formal qualifications aligned with business and/or service management. Important also is exceptional capability in service delivery management and being able to demonstrate that you have a high level of commercial acumen, bringing contemporary business skills to a sector that sometimes focuses too much on the "clinical" side.
Mandatory though is that you will have worked in the healthcare or a related sector, private or public. The emphasis is "in", not a service to the health sector. This business provides health related services to a substantial client base, and without this experience, it would be a difficult transition. You will also need to demonstrate experience in managing multiple stakeholders, in particular external relationships, as these relationships are imperative for maintaining their business operations and service delivery.
Being in the social enterprise sector, their people are extremely passionate about what they do, and subscribe to a common set of values aligned with their primary position of "social responsibility". Your values will be aligned to this, but complementary to that, you will need be able to balance this social responsibility and the business aspirations of the organisation, achieving success with both, without compromise to either.
If you're after a role that offers the ability to contribute to society, help people maximise their potential, and "give back" (certainly not a cliche), influence change, and apply your obvious business skills, then this role could be just what you're after.
On offer is an excellent remuneration package which includes a very good base salary, fully maintained private use company vehicle, mobile phone, and laptop, and one that should attract top calibre candidates.
The organisation would like to appoint someone to this role as soon as possible, so we will be facilitating the process swiftly and request interested parties to submit their application at their earliest convenience.
If this role is of interest, then please submit your application as soon as possible via our registration process.
PLEASE NOTE THOSE WHO APPLIED FOR THIS ROLE PREVIOUSLY NEED NOT APPLY AGAIN.

Be part of the new direction in recruitment and service the biggest sector. Plus operate under a business model that offers complete flexibility. Full description.
- Opportunity to service AoG Contract
- Retain a high proportion of fees generated
- Complete flexibility as to arrangements
Our industry-leading model has allowed us to experience excellent growth year on year. Since pioneering our model in 2006, we continue to do business with some of New Zealand's largest and busiest public and private sector organisations.
We believe as a result of this business model, we have been successful in being appointed to the All-of-Government External Recruitment Provider Panel. This is no mean feat, considering we were up against multi-nationals and long-term operators in recruitment.
In Wellington we have teamed up with a well-known operator and we are looking at expanding the team to service this unique opportunity.
We can provide an exciting platform to develop business with the security of a long-term contract that should automatically open doors that are likely to be firmly shut to those who are not on the list. On top of this, our model means you will retain a high proportion of the fees you generate. The flexibility we offer means you don't have to travel to work as you'll operate from a home office with contemporary technology supporting your efforts.
This is an ideal opportunity if you have now been shut out from Government business, or currently working for one of the "bigger" agencies where perhaps your own "take" may have been reduced. Or simply you can see a unique opportunity!
Our team has a collective 250 years' recruitment experience, with an individual average of more than 20 years. We're looking for experience in our sector of ten years plus, although if you were slightly under that, then let's talk!
You will need to back yourself as there's no safety net! The philosophy, backing, client base, plus flexibility, and fee arrangement, make this one of the most appealing opportunities in the recruitment sector. And you will also work alongside some of the most respected and successful in the industry.

Clearly you will hold relevant tertiary qualifications and have a "pedigree" and track record that befits this type of role. Your background will need to demonstrate experience in some or all of the areas above, and you will need to demonstrate true commercial business development experience as well.
It's likely that you will have spent some time in a first or second tier consulting firm, or have gained experience within a major corporate where your role was focused on driving change and efficiency. In essence, a management consulting, organisational development, or change management background is what we're after for this role, plus leadership and business development capability. Some experience on your own accord may also help you to understand how business operates and what are the key drivers of successful business.
Your commercial acumen will be obvious, and supported by strong business development skills, but not of the traditional "selling" nature. Your team will comprise a small group of "practitioner" Consultants who you will lead and guide for greater opportunity. Your approach will be "end to end" in that you will identify opportunities and then see them through to a successful conclusion.
Some may say we're after a lot, but we're not really, because the potential for this role is enormous. The board is looking for someone to join for the long haul and has given clear instructions that they will consider a future equity position for the right person who can perform and demonstrate their alignment with the culture and direction of the practice.
If you feel you've got the background and skills for this role, then please make a confidential enquiry to Kevin Chappell, Principal Director, on 0295-974739. Or just hit "apply" and follow our registration process, and I'll get back to you.
