To develop and implement a smooth running office environment supporting the ambitious goals of the team at PEPANZ. Being a small team, this role stretches from highly challenging financial and managerial responsibilities through to the more basic tasks of answering the phone and diary management.

• Ability to form strong trusted relationships.
