Timely is a fast growing SaaS business with big ambitions.  Our people are our secret sauce and we’re very proud of our employee experience. We have a highly engaged team who are very passionate about what we do. The People Experience Manager’s role is to help Timely scale its employee experience as the business continues to grow and evolve – things may change but it’s important our essence remains consistent.

2018 was a huge year for us – we started the year with 40 awesome people and ended with almost 80 at our end of year celebrations! We laid some serious foundations for scaling our employee experience – we started measuring employee engagement and inclusion, launched company-wide professional development initiatives, and put in place guidelines around things like remuneration, one on ones, and regular feedback. We need someone to come in and help us continue to scale and execute on the plans we have in place!

You’ll have a wide remit ..

Employment relations – you are the go-to person for all Managers across the business on employment relations matters
Employer branding, recruitment and strategic sourcing
Learning & Development – you’ll be supporting our L&D Strategy that allows for every employee to further develop their skills and career
Remuneration – you’ll be working with the GM and CFO on Timely’s remuneration review process
Measuring Engagement – check-in on the use of 15Five across the business and regularly measure engagement through CultureAmp. This includes setting up and running the survey, communicating results and trends to the executive team, helping Managers understand and share their results, then formulating and executing the response plan post-survey.
Team performance – you’ll work with Managers at significant employee milestones to ensure that check ins and reviews are completed (90 day reviews, annual reviews)
Leadership development – you’ll provide coordination support to Timely’s leadership development programme and coaching to employees as needed
Inclusion – you’ll regularly measure inclusion through CutureAmp. This includes setting up and running the survey, communicating results and trends to the executive team, helping Managers understand and share their results, then formulating and executing the response plan post-survey.
Executing on diversity and inclusion initiatives – e.g. subconscious bias training for Managers, making sure all our job ads are run through gender decoders before going live, ensuring all employees are aware of development opportunities internally.




Does this sound like you?

You’ve spent some time in a generalist HR role in an innovation-focussed business – either at HR Manager or Senior HR Advisor level.
You have a very solid understanding of NZ and ideally also Australian employment legislation.
You will be the go-to people person for our team – you will have had experience managing recruitment, measuring and advising on people metrics and trends (e.g. engagement and inclusion), managing employment relations issues, supporting and iterating our organisational dev strategy, and working on our remuneration strategy.
You feel confident working across the employee lifecycle – from writing job ads all the way to conducting effective exit interviews.
You’re comfortable working in a digital office – Slack, video calls, Google Docs, the list goes on!
You’re self-motivated and autonomous – there’s always heaps to do and competing priorities. We work at a fast pace and are looking for someone who’s confident with that.
You’re a team player – we’re a small team at Timely and we all need to pitch in and get involved where we’re needed.
You’re comfortable bringing your whole self to work – we want people to be themselves!
You’re a competent writer and add your own flavour to any of your written work – internal guidelines, presentations and all company comms.
You’re comfortable (and like!) facilitating team meetings and presenting ideas and initiatives to the company.

Other things you need to know:

This role is full-time and permanent
We’re looking for someone to be based in Wellington ideally, but are open to Auckland or Dunedin too.
You will work from home but will have access to office space when you need to collab or need a change of scene
We’ll set you up with all the shiny new equipment you’ll need for your home office
You must be legally entitled to work in NZ
Start date ASAP
Applications close when we find the right person!

So you’ve read this far and you get it. You’ve probably already looked up our website, Facebook and Twitter accounts, and had a read through our blog. You’re excited. So are we. Apply here. Go on!

We’re looking for a Marketing Coordinator to support the marketing and product marketing teams in delivering communications, campaigns and marketing projects. You’ll be joining an existing team of seriously nice people who are striving to bring industry-leading initiatives to our customers.




A typical day might look like..

Owning our magazine and print relationships – making bookings, briefing in the design team, and ensuring any deliverables happen on time.
Coordination of the Timely blog – keeping WordPress up to date, making sure the wider team is across what’s happening, and communicating activity and performance to the business regularly.
Coordinating creative assets and material for communications, webinars and campaigns – checking and proofreading assets in time for deadline.
Collaborating with marketing and design to maintain a consistent brand voice and message across all marketing messages

Does this sound like you?

You’re the most organised person you know – if your friends or family are planning a holiday you’re the one that collates the spreadsheet with flight times, airbnbs, names of restaurants you’d like to visit …
You can manage multiple deadlines and priorities, seriously. Timely is fast-paced environment with lots of big projects on the go at any one time. Having proven experience in a similar team or environment would be very helpful.
‘Self-motivation’ isn’t just a daily mantra for you – you’re capable of working independently with different teammates across multiple locations.
You’re super comfortable working with multiple tools – the bulk of our internal comms live in Slack, we communicate with partners via email, use Trello to keep track of internal projects and we live in Google Drive – docs, sheets, Hangouts, the list goes on!
You’re an over-communicator (wait .. what?) – it’ll come as second nature to you to be constantly providing updates to your team on where you’re at.
Your written comms are excellent, and you really enjoy writing and editing copy.
Experience using WordPress and marketing automation software is a bonus!
A solid grounding in marketing fundamentals – you’ve either got a marketing qualification up your sleeve, or you’ve spent a couple years in an administration role picking up the basics and you’ve got a few projects up your sleeve to prove that you know your stuff.

Other things you need to know:

This role is full time, permanent
We’re looking for someone to be based in Auckland, Wellington, or Dunedin
We’ll set you up with all the shiny new equipment you’ll need
You’ll have access to a professional development & wellness budgets
You will work from home but will have access to office space when you need to collab or need a change of scene

About Snowball Effect

Snowball Effect is a marketplace that simplifies access to a range of alternative investment opportunities. We do this by facilitating offers of securities through public offers, private offers, and wholesale investor offers.

For companies, it’s a complete capital raising package and access to a wide investor audience, so it’s a quick and efficient way to raise funds. For investors, it’s a simple channel to discover and invest in early-stage growth businesses, that has historically been difficult to access.

Snowball Effect is NZ's leading private equity investment marketplace. We launched NZ’s first equity crowdfunding offer in August 2014, and over our three and a half years of operations, we’ve facilitated more investment in NZ than all other equity crowdfunding marketplaces together (over 60% market share).

Final words

Snowball Effect benefits from world-class directors and advisors. Day to day we’re a small team with a flat structure. Everyone in the team has a specific role, with each role commanding significant responsibility. As a company, we’re focused with a clear plan of where we’re heading. We expect performance of the highest calibre, and we’re confident that our remuneration is representative of the investment we expect from each member of the team in Snowball Effect’s success.

We’re here for the long term, and this role provides the right person with an opportunity to shape the future of New Zealand’s capital markets. If you’re excited by this opportunity, please send your CV to Simeon Burnett at [email protected].

Snowball Effect is looking for a new director to join our energetic and growing team. If you’re the right sort of person, you’ll be passionate about developing the New Zealand capital markets, enjoy working with a diverse range of investors and companies, and want to be part of a high performing growth company in an emerging and dynamic new market.




About Snowball Effect

We’re on a mission to simplify investment into high growth Kiwi companies. Snowball Effect is a marketplace that simplifies access to a range of alternative investment opportunities. We do this by facilitating offers of securities through public offers, private offers, and wholesale investor offers. Over our 4 years of operation we have raised more than ~$50m of capital.

More broadly, our vision is to have a significant impact on the New Zealand capital markets. We see an opportunity to provide investors with easy access to financial products, while also providing tools for them to manage their portfolio and engage directly with the companies and sectors of interest. For companies, it’s a complete capital raising package and access to a wide investor audience, so it’s a quick and efficient way to raise funds. We see the opportunity to provide fresh thinking and technology to a relatively stagnant industry.

We’re driven by the significant positive impact we can make by building a thriving marketplace to connect growth companies with the capital, services and people they need.

Our values

Quality: To help promote great outcomes for investors and companies we will always take the long term view – we seek sustainable growth over short term wins. We will not be afraid to say ‘No’.
Experts: We are the experts in growth company capital raising in New Zealand.
Team: We will always try and do what is best for Snowball Effect rather than ourselves. We welcome an environment where we can support, challenge, and encourage each other.
Courage: We are pioneers and innovators, prepared to take risks, to work hard and hustle, leading the way in developing a new more efficient and inspiring capital market in New Zealand.







The role

Our initial success has paved the way to significantly develop our core offering and explore complementary opportunities. At this stage, our target market is the growth sector – typically businesses with several million dollars in revenue, and seeking anywhere from $1m - $10m in capital to fund growth. For many investors this type of company has a far more appealing risk / return profile, with a far clearer path to exit. As a sector, these companies are underserviced – they’re too large for angel groups, and too small for Private Equity funds, and brokers. While some of these companies, particularly those approaching a listing, or those who would benefit from the publicity want to offer shares to the public, some are also after larger and / or ‘strategic’ investors. Snowball Effect has an investor audience of ~18,000 investors, with ~1,100 certified as ‘wholesale investors’.

It is important that we develop a pipeline of high quality companies wanting to raise capital, then tailor the best solution to that company.

We’re hiring a Director of Growth Capital to lead the ongoing development of Snowball Effect’s marketplace, and more specifically the task of presenting Snowball Effect as the go to solution for growth companies seeking to raise capital. You will be working in tandem with other members of the team, both on the marketplace development (IT) and business expansion.

You will have ideally had at least 8-10 years of commercial experience, with a demonstrated ability to make decisions quickly and deliver outstanding results.

You’ll provide the skills and expertise to take ownership of this fundamental and growing part of our business and continue to develop it into a thriving and highly profitable business unit within our wider marketplace. The role will be challenging as the path forward is largely uncharted, with delivery of results critical to the business.

Snowball Effect continues to have a distinctively different voice and retains a personality that distinguishes it from the rest of the capital markets, and that both investors and companies are attracted to a far more exciting, personable, and intimate experience as a result. You’ll want to develop a strong network within the New Zealand capital markets, with entrepreneurs, advisors, and investors.




Key accountabilities

Initially, lead the initial engagement with high quality, growth companies seeking capital:

This will mean developing relationships with service providers, company CEO’s, and the wider capital markets community.
Being highly proactive in seeking out opportunities to speak with companies and their service providers to ensure that Snowball Effect is front of mind when raising capital.
Constantly looking for new opportunities to get in front of high quality companies and investors.
Identifying technology that can be used to do things more efficiently than anyone else.
Develop relationships with investors who can also be referrers of companies. Identifying investors who would be interested in investing in these types of deals.
Work with our network to ‘test’ the company’s offer before going to the public. Ensuring that written material resonates, and key terms/valuations are sensible and fair.
Working across the team to identify lead/cornerstone investors if required.

Take responsibility for various day to day tasks that are crucial to the continued success of Snowball. Some of these day to day tasks include:

Support of marketing public offers
New product/feature development
Investor relations/customer support
Facilitating and developing IPO participation
Leading shareholder communications between companies and investors (we provide a package to companies to support this)

New opportunities

There will also be the opportunity to lead some of the new opportunities that we’re currently exploring. These include:

A secondary market, designed specifically for private companies, which aims to address issues relating to compliance, liquidity and broker support
New financial products that sit alongside high risk equity within an investor’s portfolio

There will of course be others that emerge in time.




Final words

This role will also have a position on our Screening Committee which provides feedback on opportunities, and has final say prior to an offering being made available to investors. All public deals have to be approved by the Screening Committee prior to going ‘live’.

This is a critical leadership position within Snowball Effect, and will play a key role in developing an important part of New Zealand’s capital market.

About Snowball Effect

We simplify investment into high growth Kiwi companies.

Snowball Effect is a marketplace that simplifies access to a range of alternative investment opportunities. We do this by facilitating offers of securities through public offers, private offers, and wholesale investor offers.

For companies, it’s a complete capital raising package and access to a wide investor audience, so it’s a quick and efficient way to raise funds. For investors, it’s a simple channel to discover and invest in early-stage growth businesses.

Snowball Effect is NZ's leading investment marketplace. We launched NZ’s first equity crowdfunding offer in August 2014, and over our 4+ years of operation, we have raised ~$50m of capital.

Snowball Effect Values

Fair – all information and documents must to the best of our knowledge be clear, concise and effective.
Integrity – we say what we mean and we mean what we say. We seek sustainable growth over short term wins.
Quality – we aim to provide a high-quality service and promote great outcomes for investors and companies using our service.
Experts – we are the experts in growth company capital raising in New Zealand. Team - we will always try and do what is best for Snowball Effect rather than ourselves. We welcome an environment where we can support, challenge, and encourage each other.
Courage – we are pioneers, prepared to take risks to work hard and hustle to lead the way in developing a new more efficient and inspiring capital market in New Zealand.




About the role

Our initial success has paved the way to significantly develop our core offering and explore complementary opportunities. Our target market is the growth sector – typically businesses with several million dollars in revenue, and seeking anywhere from $1–10m in capital to fund growth. For many investors this type of company has a far more appealing risk/return profile, with a far clearer path to exit. As a sector these companies are underserviced – they’re too large for angel groups, and too small for VCs, funds, and brokers. While some of these companies, particularly those approaching a listing, or those who would benefit from the publicity want to offer shares to the public, some are also after larger and/or ‘strategic’ investors. Snowball Effect has an investor audience of ~18,000 investors, with ~1,000 certified as ‘wholesale investors’.

It is important that we develop a pipeline of high-quality companies wanting to raise capital, then tailor the best solution to that company. Our Head of Private Capital is charged with working with investors and companies who are raising capital privately, with the Head of Growth Capital working in tandem to identify high-quality companies who are seeking capital, then work alongside the ones who go through the process of a public raise.

We’re hiring a Growth Capital Associate to support the ongoing development of Snowball Effect’s marketplace, and more specifically the task of working alongside the Head of Growth Capital and Head of Private Capital in preparing the companies for a capital raise, as well as the ongoing development and growth of Snowball Effect.

You’ll provide the skills and expertise to support this fundamental and growing part of our business and continue to develop it into a thriving and highly profitable business unit within our wider marketplace. The role will be challenging as the path forward is largely unchartered, with the role critical to the business.

It’s important that Snowball Effect continues to have a distinctively different voice and retains a personality that distinguishes it from the rest of the capital market, and that both investors and companies are attracted to a far more exciting, personable, and intimate experience as a result. Where possible you’ll want to develop a strong network within the New Zealand capital market, with entrepreneurs, advisors, and investors.

Key accountabilities and opportunities

Support the initial engagement with high-quality, growth companies seeking capital. This will include leading the preparation of the Information Memorandums and supporting other aspects of offer development such as legal and finance. It will also include supporting the development of growth of new products such as the Share Registry, Content Hub, and Investor Profile, as well as other features as they’re released:

Developing high-quality Information Memorandums and other key written information that are central to a successful capital raise. This will mean developing relationships with service providers, company CEO’s, and the wider capital markets community.
Constantly look for opportunities to get in front of high-quality companies and investors
Work with our network to ‘test’ the companies offer before going to the public. Does the written material resonate, are the terms/valuations sensible and fair? Exploring the potential use of new technology and processes that help Snowball Effect become a more efficient operation

Take responsibility for various day to day tasks that are crucial to the continued success of Snowball. Some of these day to day tasks include:

AML/Compliance (where required)
Support of marketing public offers
Ensuring companies are on track to launch in agreed timeframes
New product/feature development
Investor relations/customer support
Supporting shareholder communications between companies and investors (we provide a package to companies to support this)

This is a critical support position within Snowball Effect, and will play a key role in developing an important part of New Zealand’s capital market.




Final words

Snowball Effect benefits from world-class directors and advisors. Day to day we’re a small team of 5 with a flat structure. Everyone in the team has a specific role, with each role commanding significant responsibility. As a company, we’re focused with a clear plan of where we’re heading. We expect performance of the highest calibre, and we’re confident that our remuneration is representative of the investment we expect from each member of the team in Snowball Effect’s success.

We’re here for the long term, and this role provides the right person with an opportunity to shape the future of New Zealand’s capital markets. If you’re excited by this opportunity,
