About the Role

With the introduction of a new IT strategy from New Zealand Football, this year will see the introduction of a new membership reporting system which promises to change the way we do things. This role will help lead and develop this system within the federation and our clubs. The role will also play a key part in the ongoing development of field and facility plans for football and futsal in Christchurch. The role will provide support to the federation and clubs to help achieve our objectives as outlined in the New Zealand Football Strategic Plan and Mainland Football Business Plan.
