About us

Guided by a dedicated team of Poumahi, we embody and uphold the values of manaakitanga, whanaungatanga, kaitiakitanga, pono me te tika, and mana motuhake in all that we do.

Today, our work reaches hundreds of whānau, rangatahi, tamariki, and kōhungahunga through high-quality, whānau-centred programmes and services.

Te Taumata is a leadership organisation established by and for Ngāti Whakaue, working across education, te reo Māori, housing development and social wellbeing.

The role

As Contracts & Funding Coordinator, you'll support the full contract and funding lifecycle, from tracking funding opportunities and coordinating proposals through to contract monitoring, funder reporting and audit readiness. You'll work closely with the Strategic Funding Manager, Finance and programme leads, and take ownership of Monday.com as our central tool for contract tracking and reporting visibility.

This role suits someone who enjoys turning scattered information into clear, reliable systems, and who takes genuine pride in keeping deadlines and obligations on track.

What you'll bring

• Experience in contracts administration, funding coordination, grants management or compliance reporting
• Strong attention to detail and confidence managing multiple contracts and deadlines
• Excellent written communication skills
• Highly confident capability using Monday.com or similar systems
• Understanding of te reo Māori me ōna tikanga and kaupapa Māori values would be an advantage
• A current full NZ Driver Licence
