It’s a really exciting time for us! We’re well established as market leaders in the early childhood online education space in New Zealand and Australia, and we’re now on a mission of global expansion to deepen the impact our product creates.
Our purpose is to help every child fulfil their unique potential by connecting and empowering the community around them. Storypark works to make a difference - not just a dollar. We pursue evidence based, earnest discoveries to solve the root of important problems.
As well as having the chance to make a difference to the lives of millions of children, parents and teachers you’ll find:

Monthly activities both online and in-person all of which are voted on by our people.
Dogs and children super welcome in the office.
Counselling and support via EAP Services.
This is one of those critical roles that will see you work across all aspects of the organisation from an operational, organisation, business and people perspective. You’re the person that keeps Storypark running smoothly and keeps things flowing. You’ll support all of the Storypark whānau but in particular the leadership team, enabling them to optimise their time and focus on driving forward local and global strategic activity.
You'll lead a small team including our People Experience Coordinator and various contractors to ensure we have a culture and work environment where our people thrive and can do their best work.

We value curiosity, collaboration and growth mindsets. By nature you are interested in Storypark’s future so that each task or project you tackle you’ll have that in mind, nothing is just a “tick box” exercise for you.
You’ll have a good level of experience and a strategic mindset, and we’ll value just as much your low ego and keenness to jump in and just get done what needs to be done.
You're a great communicator and have experience facilitating meetings and speaking to groups of people.
Naturally you are an organiser, systems focussed and love supporting people to be their best.
You’ll be excited about the opportunity to contribute in making a difference in the world. And will live and demonstrate our values through and through.
