* Coordinating quarterly QBRs (Quarterly Business Reviews) and managing the logistics for our annual President’s Club incentive trips.
* Supporting finance and accounts — from invoice tracking to working with Xero (experience a plus).
* Assisting with KPI tracking, reporting, and maintaining dashboards to keep performance visible.
* Reviewing contracts, legal documents, and compliance materials.
* Providing project management support across internal initiatives, ensuring deadlines are met and stakeholders kept aligned.
* Bringing structure and clarity to strategic projects, helping leadership stay focused on delivery.

* Knowledge of finance/accounting basics and hands-on experience with Xero (or similar) is an advantage.
* Confident working with KPIs and performance data.
* Discreet and professional when handling sensitive information.
* A proactive, solutions-focused mindset — someone who can anticipate needs, improve processes, and push for excellence.
* A strong desire to be the best in a high-performance, fast-growth environment.
Why Join Us
