We’re a passionate and enthusiastic team, committed to living and breathing our vision of cricket being a game for all; a game for life!
NZC’s vision is focused on ensuring cricket is a game without barriers – a game that can be played anywhere, by anyone, connecting people through our spirit of cricket. We strive to have a high performance culture, underpinned by quality people, systems and facilities helping to produce great players and teams that inspire the nation, the next generation of players and represent the best of New Zealand’s values and culture.
We are seeking an organised, pragmatic and forward-thinking Executive Assistant to join our CEO Office in a permanent, full-time role based in Auckland.

You will also lead our corporate hospitality programme, managing VIP guests and commercial partners at fixtures and events. This is a unique opportunity to work at the centre of the organisation and play a visible part in how cricket is run both on and off the field.
Key Responsibilities
- Executive Support: Provide high-quality support to the CEO, Chair and Directors, including managing the CEO’s schedule and correspondence, preparing documents and reports, and acting as the first point of contact for CEO communications.
- Hospitality & Events: Manage NZC’s corporate hospitality programme for the CEO and key commercial partners, ensuring VIP guests receive an outstanding experience at matches and events.
- Office Management & Travel: Be responsible for office management across Auckland and Lincoln, and coordinate CEO and Board travel and accommodation.

- At least 10 years’ experience in a senior Executive Assistant or similar role in a fast-paced environment.

- Substantial experience working with highly confidential information, with a high degree of integrity, professionalism and discretion.
- Excellent relationship-building and communication skills, with the confidence to work with the Board, senior leaders, commercial partners and the wider Cricket Network.
Why you’ll love working with us
