Office & Operations Maestro
About Us
We’re Four Avenues. A Christchurch developer that creates thoughtfully designed, high-quality townhouses in vibrant, sought-after neighbourhoods. We like tidy design, clever thinking, and a good laugh.
We’re small enough to move quickly, experienced enough to know what matters, and relaxed enough to enjoy the work along the way.
If you’ve ever been promised “variety” only to end up trapped in meetings about meetings, you’ll breathe easy here. Our days swing between design chats, site visits, coffee-fuelled problem-solving, and the occasional spreadsheet sprint. Some mornings start with cheese scones; others with a property deal that needs a CMA, a signature, and (depending on the day) a small prayer.
The Role
We’re looking for an organised and proactive professional to keep our operations humming. Think Donna-from-Suits energy: unflappable under pressure, armed with dry humour, impeccable timing, and the quiet satisfaction of always being three steps ahead. This is a hands-on role supporting property sales, managing admin and accounts. You don’t need to know everything about the property world – just someone who loves the satisfaction of moving a big, tidy to-do list from “in progress” to “done.”
A day in the life? You’re lining up a photographer, then hopping into Xero to match transactions like it’s a competitive sport. Before lunch, you’ve chased an insurance certificate, printed a contract, and gently reminded someone (again) to return keys to the lockbox. The afternoon brings Trade Me listings, a printer that’s having an existential crisis, and the classic “Quick question…” from your boss, which, as always, is neither quick nor a question. By the end of the day, you’ve wrapped 27 tasks, prepped tomorrow’s priorities and double-checked a settlement timeline.

- Property & Sales Support
- Conduct CMAs for “as is where is” and commercial property deals.

What You’ll Bring
- Strong organisational skills and an eye for the tiny thing’s others miss.

- Confidence to communicate with clients, contractors, and suppliers.
- A genuinely good sense of humour.
The Perks
- Competitive salary and city parking.
- A collaborative team that enjoys working together.
