We're on a mission to accelerate Māori participation and achievement in STEMM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics and Mātauranga Māori). Together, we work with rangatahi, whānau, iwi, schools, tertiary providers, and industry partners to create pathways into education and employment opportunities that empower Māori to thrive.

We're looking for a Data Administrator to join our team and help ensure the quality, accuracy, and integrity of the data that supports our kaupapa and informs our decision-making.

The Opportunity

This is an entry-level data administration role with plenty of opportunity to grow, develop, and take on greater responsibility over time.

As a Data Administrator, you will:

• Support the accurate entry, maintenance, and organisation of data across Pūhoro systems and platforms.
• Help produce routine reports and assist with validating data to ensure quality, consistency, and reliability.
• Work closely with the Pou Tātari | Data Analyst and wider team to support reporting, programme delivery, and informed decision-making.
• Review system-generated and AI-assisted outputs to check for accuracy, cultural appropriateness, and alignment with source information.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of data processes, system upkeep, and reporting practices.
• Grow capability in data management, reporting, and kaupapa Māori programme evaluation within a supportive, development-focused environment.

This role provides a unique opportunity to build practical experience in data management while contributing to meaningful outcomes for Māori learners and communities.

About You

You’re organised, reliable, and take pride in doing mahi well, with care and attention to detail.

You'll also bring:

• Confidence using digital tools and a desire to grow your capability in data, reporting, and systems.
• A willingness to learn, ask questions, and build your confidence in a role that will evolve over time.
• An interest in data quality, reporting, and continuous improvement.
• Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage your work independently.
• A collaborative approach and the ability to build respectful relationships with colleagues and stakeholders.
• A commitment to working in a kaupapa Māori environment and contributing to positive outcomes for rangatahi, whānau, and communities.
• Enthusiasm for developing your skills, taking on increasing responsibility, and growing alongside Pūhoro.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Experience using Microsoft Excel, Google Sheets, databases, or similar digital systems.
• An ability to review information critically and identify inconsistencies or errors.
• Exposure to Salesforce, Power BI, AI-assisted tools, or similar systems (desirable but not essential).
• Experience working with Māori communities, kaupapa Māori organisations, iwi, or hapū (desirable).
