People & Culture Administrator

Amazing role for an administration superstar supporting the People & Culture team of a large national law firm.

  • Be part of a truly supportive team who work collaboratively and have lots of fun
  • Have a key role in driving our award-winning firm culture
  • Gain experience across the full spectrum of People & Culture

Are you the go-to organiser in your world? Do you thrive on variety, love a good checklist, and keep calm when things get busy? If that’s a yes, we have the perfect role for you.
  
We’re on the hunt for an energetic, proactive, and super-organised Administrator to join our People & Culture team at Simpson Grierson – one of New Zealand’s leading law firms. This is a dynamic, fast-paced role where no two days are the same, and you’ll be at the heart of a fun, high-performing, and people-focused team.
  
What You’ll Be Doing:

You’ll be the engine room of our People & Culture team. You’ll:
  

  • Be the most organised person on the team (we’re not joking – this is your superpower)
  • Draft employment agreements, secondment agreements, letters, certificates of service
  • Keep our spreadsheets and registers humming along perfectly
  • Support the recruitment and onboarding/offboarding process – interviews, comms, travel, job ads, practising certificate renewals, you name it!
  • Stay on top of our team’s business rhythm, ensuring we’re ready to go for each new cycle of work
  • Own the onboarding experience – from welcome emails to Day One planning
  • Keep our people data accurate, up-to-date and securely filed
  • Plan and coordinate awesome internal events (yes – if you love event planning, look no further)
  • Help support us on large-scale projects like graduate recruitment, wellness programmes and more
  • Be ready for other duties as required – this is a role where you'll get involved and make things happen
  
What We’re Looking For:

We want someone who:
  • Lives for lists and deadlines – you don’t drop balls, your communication is on-point
  • Has solid administration experience under their belt
  • Is warm, people-savvy, and loves being the go-to person in the team
  • Is proactive, organised, and always two steps ahead
  • Can think fast, solve problems, and stay calm under pressure
  • Communicates clearly and confidently – both in writing and in person
  • Has eagle-eyed attention to detail – you spot the typo no one else sees
  • Loves being part of a team that works hard, supports each other, and has a good laugh
  • Bonus points if you can create awesome dashboards, videos or visual content to tell stories with data – but it’s not a dealbreaker.
  
Why Join Us?

At Simpson Grierson, we’re known for our people-first culture. You’ll be part of an award-winning, close-knit People & Culture team that takes its work seriously, but never takes itself too seriously.
