AUSA has opened recruitment for a new General Manager, with applications closing on Sunday 29/11/2026.

The successful candidate will step into the role at an important time for the association. A new strategy has been developed with a focus on growth, and the incoming General Manager will help shape and deliver it, including building revenue through partnerships and sponsorship and broadening student engagement across campus.

The General Manager is the constant at AUSA. While the Student Executive changes each year, the General Manager leads the staff team, oversees the association's finances and day-to-day operations, and manages the Service Level Agreement with the University that funds AUSA's core student services. The role also provides independent advice to the Executive and works closely with trustees, the Advisory Board, and senior University staff.

AUSA represents students at the University of Auckland, providing advice and support services, advocating on academic and welfare issues, and running events that bring the campus community together.

Anyone interested, or who knows someone who would be a great fit, can find the full role details and apply via the Seek listing.
