Personal Assistant to the Director


Maxima Artist Management is growing! and I am looking for a full-time personal assistant to keep the office running smoothly.

This is a fantastic business to be part of if you like working closely with a number of highly intelligent, interesting and accomplished personalities, and enjoy the reward of helping to make good things happen. Our offices are situated in a very nice building on High Street, convenient to all public transportation and the Arts Quarter of New Zealand's largest city.

You will need to be energetic, highly organized, articulate both in writing and on the telephone, computer literate, and have familiarity with or interest in classical music. The kind of work suits someone who enjoys making sure details are accurate or who has an interest in an arts management career.

It will be a advantage if you have database, web design, financial software, or project management experience, or the potential to learn these skills. Recent graduates in Arts Administration would be ideal candidates as this position will expose you to all aspects of the field.

To be considered, submit a resume and writing sample -in confidence- to john @ maximaltd.com [remove the spaces manually], or simply telephone me directly on 522 1620.
