Want to work at Wild Things?

Social & Partnerships Lead / Shop & Admin Coordinator (or Both!)

18th February 2025

We’re on the lookout for an all-rounder (or two!) to help grow and support Wild Things.

Ideally, we’re looking for someone who can cover all aspects of this role, but to be honest, we might be searching for a unicorn that doesn’t exist 🦄! If that’s the case, we’re open to splitting this into two roles depending on the skills and interests of the right candidate(s).

This is a flexible, contract-based role (or roles) with hours and rate to be discussed based on the final shape of the job. If you’re a nature-loving, community-building, shop-running, content-creating dynamo, this might be the perfect gig.

What You’ll Be Doing:

Member Growth & Socials
  • Develop and execute strategies to grow our member community
  • Plan, post, and report on social media activity
  • Manage social media advertising and paid member acquisition campaigns
  • Jump in for ad hoc social content as needed
  • Work on creative campaigns to increase engagement, membership sign-ups, and brand visibility
  • This role could fit within either the admin & support side or the business development side, depending on your strengths and interests
Business Development & Partnerships
  • Create and nurture business partnerships that align with Wild Things’ mission
  • Collaborate with partners on cross-promotions, sponsorships, and joint initiatives
  • Identify and reach out to potential sponsors and partners to expand our community
Customer Admin, Support & General Administration
  • Be the friendly face behind customer support emails and enquiries
  • Moderate our social spaces to keep them friendly and fun
  • Handle other general administrative tasks as needed to support the smooth running of the business
Shop & Fulfilment (Requires Local Presence in Downtown Tauranga)
  • Pack and send out orders from our downtown Tauranga office
  • Add new products to our shop and keep listings fresh
  • Manage stock levels and ordering

(Note: While much of the other work can be done remotely, shop fulfilment requires you to be local and able to come into our office at least some of the time.)

Content & Publishing
  • Help create and edit our Trails & Peak publications
  • Write engaging blog posts, news updates, and newsletters

Who You Are:

  • A self-starter who’s happy wearing multiple hats (or a specialist keen to take on part of the role)
  • Experienced in social media strategy and community engagement
  • Familiar with e-commerce, fulfilment, and stock management (or willing to learn!)
  • A solid communicator who enjoys writing and content creation
  • Has epic attention to detail
  • Happy working independently but also as part of a friendly, outdoorsy team

We’d love to find someone who can do it all, but we’re realistic—this could be one role or split into two, depending on the strengths of the right candidate(s). If you’re excited about Wild Things and reckon you’d be a great fit, get in touch with Rob at rob@wildthings.club and let’s chat!

When you reach out, tell us:
  • Why this role is a great fit for you, and which parts suit you best
  • Which parts might not be the best fit for you
  • How you can make Wild Things a better place for all of our members and wider community
  • Your location and general availability, so we can determine if the shop fulfilment schedule works for you
