Job description

Good Dog Training – Dairy Flat, North Island

Business Manager / General Manager (Part-Time, 20–25 hrs / week)

Good Dog Training – Dairy Flat, Auckland. $40–$45 per hour

  • Hybrid (Onsite + Work From Home)

Good Dog Training is growing, and we’re looking for a mature, experienced Business Manager / General Manager to help lead the next phase of our business.

This is a meaningful part‑time role for someone who enjoys bringing structure, supporting a younger team, and improving systems — while working in a calm, dog‑friendly environment. If you’re looking for fulfilling work without the pressure of a full‑time corporate role, this could be a great fit.

About the Role

20–25 hours per week, with approx. 15 hours onsite in Dairy Flat and the remaining hours working from home.

You’ll work closely with the owner to oversee HR, operations, and financial processes while ensuring the business runs smoothly day‑to‑day.

Key Responsibilities

HR & People

  • Manage HR documentation, onboarding, and compliance
  • Provide a steady, supportive presence for younger staff
  • Help maintain a positive, professional team culture
  • Financial Oversight

  • Liaise with accountant
  • Assist with payroll checks, invoices, receipts
  • Monitor business spending and simple bookkeeping
  • Operations & Systems

  • Improve systems, processes, and documentation
  • Oversee onsite workflow, quality, and standards
  • Support health & safety compliance
  • Identify gaps and implement practical solutions
  • Leadership Support

  • Work directly with the owner on weekly priorities
  • Move projects forward and help maintain operational clarity
  • Keep the team aligned and supported
  • About You

    We’re looking for someone who is steady, grounded, and experienced — someone who enjoys mentoring and supporting a growing business.

    You’ll be a great fit if you :

  • Have HR experience (essential)
  • Are confident with accounts, payroll processes & liaising with accountants
  • Have experience in operations, office management, or GM‑level roles
  • Are organised, reliable, and proactive
  • Communicate clearly and calmly
  • Enjoy working around dogs and a young team
  • Want meaningful, flexible part‑time work (not just a job)
  • Mature applicants are strongly encouraged — we value life experience and stability.

    What We Offer

  • $40–$45 per hour (depending on experience)
  • 20–25 hours per week
  • Flexible mix of onsite and WFH
  • Supportive environment surrounded by animals
  • Calm, purpose‑driven workplace
  • A long‑term role with real influence
  • Opportunity to shape systems and help build a growing business
  • Location

    Dairy Flat, Auckland

    (Onsite presence required weekly)
