Job Description
You’ll make sure we’re getting value from our software investment by keeping a clear view of what we use, how it’s performing, and where we can simplify or improve. A key part of the role is building strong relationships across Ara and with external vendors, working collaboratively to make sure our systems meet user needs and deliver value.
Alongside this, you’ll support a range of digital initiatives through business analysis and project coordination work.
This is a varied role working across operations, analysis and projects, giving you good exposure to how digital services support the wider organisation.
This is a fixed term role through to July 2027, covering a period of leave.
Ngā Pūkenga Me Ngā Wheako – Skills and Experience

Ideally, you’ll also bring:
A tertiary qualification at Degree level in a related discipline or at least 5 years relevant experience
Experience in software asset management, including maintenance of asset registers and licensing optimisation
Ability to build and maintain effective stakeholder and customer relationships
Ability to identify optimisation opportunities, including cost efficiency, rationalisation and standardisation
Business analysis capability, including requirements gathering and documentation
Experience maintaining data quality and integrity within asset or configuration management systems
Knowledge of procurement processes and vendor management practices
Mō Mātou – About us
Ara Institute of Canterbury is the South Island's largest provider of tertiary vocational education, helping people build better futures - and that starts with our people.
Every day, our kaimahi help students gain real skills for real careers through hands-on learning and strong industry connections.
The Madras Street (City) campus brings engineering, architecture, music, trades, health and creative arts together in the heart of Christchurch, right next door to One New Zealand Stadium.
We offer tangible benefits: income protection for permanent kaimahi over 15 hours, fee discounts on Ara courses for staff, professional development leave and funding, two on-site early childhood centres, generous leave provisions, and an annual Christmas closedown to enjoy time with whanau and friends. A gym, library and cafés complete the picture.
Guided by our values Hono Connect, Hihiri Inspire and Aroha Respect, we're committed to equity, inclusion and Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
If you're looking for work that matters, Ara could be your next chapter.
