About us | Mo matou
The AIANZ is the peak membership body that represents the interest of the commercial aviation industry in New Zealand. Founded in 1950, its overall goal is to support a safe, sustainable, and resilient sector in New Zealand. Safety is front and centre of everything we do, enabling our members and the wider aviation sector to grow and innovate.
The membership of the organisation includes around 200 operators from small to large who operate aircraft in many sectors of the industry, including flight and ground training, agriculture, scheduled and charter air transport services, freight, helicopter external loads, photography, search and rescue, surveillance, and tourism. Our membership also includes companies that service, maintain, design or manufacture for these sectors.
Our role is primarily a policy one, supported by evidence-based advocacy and lobbying to Government and their agencies. We support members in regulatory matters, advancing professionalism in safety while being recognised as the voice of the country's commercial aviation industry. The association is organised into six divisions under the umbrella of AIANZ.
About the role | Mo te turanga mahi
We are seeking an Executive Officer to support our growing organisation. Based in the Wellington CBD, the role provides executive and policy support to the AIANZ, focusing on the New Zealand Helicopter Association (NZHA) and Unmanned Aerial Vehicle Industry Association of New Zealand (UAVNZ) divisions. The Executive Officer will work alongside the Chief Executive and Business Operations Lead in our Wellington office and closely with our Executive Officer based in the South Island.
The AIANZ has undergone a reset, rebrand, and revitalisation in the past 12 months. The successful candidate will work alongside a high-energy and dynamic team in Wellington. A background or knowledge of aviation and transport, and working in the policy area, while not essential, would be helpful. Previous experience in a membership organisation would also be beneficial.
The successful candidate must support other team members, as this is a small organisation. Communication and engagement with members are integral to the role, requiring a person who is prepared to get on the phone, understand member issues, and act on them.
While the job requires the successful candidate to work in the Wellington office, there is flexibility to work from home on occasion. The AIANZ is a family-friendly organisation that understands the importance of work-life balance.
As a small organisation, we often require a hands-on approach to tasks and the enthusiasm to 'muck in' and help as needed, especially for our annual industry conference held in August or September each year.
