Your responsibilities will include:
Leading, coaching and developing a high-performing operations team.
Conducting regular one-on-ones, performance reviews and development planning.
Managing workflow, resourcing and operational priorities.
Driving continuous improvement, automation and process efficiencies.
Supporting onboarding, client transaction processing and operational excellence.
Handling escalated client matters where required.
Partnering with internal stakeholders to improve systems and client experience
Contributing to strategic projects and technology initiatives
Ensuring compliance with regulatory and risk requirements
About You
You are a genuine people leader who enjoys helping others succeed while improving the way work gets done.
You'll likely bring:
Leadership experience within financial services, banking, funds management or a similar regulated environment
Experience leading high-volume operations or transaction processing teams
A passion for coaching, mentoring and developing people
Strong performance management and stakeholder engagement skills
Experience driving process improvement and operational efficiencies
A collaborative leadership style with a focus on continuous improvement
Excellent organisational skills and attention to detail
A commitment to delivering exceptional client outcomes
What's on Offer
Newly created leadership opportunity
Strong people leadership focus
Opportunity to shape a growing team
Collaborative and supportive culture
Auckland CBD location
Genuine opportunity to influence process improvement and operational excellence
This is an excellent opportunity for someone who enjoys leading people, improving processes and creating a high-performing team within a well-respected financial services organisation.
