We are seeking a proactive, organised, and personable Administration Coordinator to support the continued growth and direction of our business. Based at our vineyard in Waipara, this is a diverse and rewarding role ideal for someone who enjoys variety and takes pride in doing things well.

About Terrace Edge

Terrace Edge is a family-owned and operated organic winery located on the south bank of the Waipara River, in the heart of North Canterbury, Aotearoa New Zealand. Since planting began in 1999, we’ve grown to become a leading producer of premium, small-batch wines crafted with integrity and care for the land. We’re proud to be three-time winners of the New Zealand Organic Vineyard of the Year (2018, 2021, and 2025), a recognition of our commitment to sustainability, biodiversity, and regenerative viticulture.

Key Responsibilities:

Sales & Administration

  • Manage and grow local direct-to-customer sales, including logistics, invoicing, and client relationships.

  • Coordinate stock movements (inward/outward), inventory, and cellar stock records.

  • Liaise with our off-site wine facility to coordinate dry goods, bottlings, and compliance (excise tracking etc.).

  • Use Vinsight, Xero, and Shopify for stock control, invoicing, debtor follow-up, e-newsletters, and our online store.

General Administration & Marketing

  • Assist with marketing content and coordinate social media and email campaigns.

  • Support small events and help organise logistics for wine shows and bottling runs.

  • Provide hands-on support to our vineyard and winemaking teams during busy periods (e.g. pruning or harvest).

Cellar Door & Customer Engagement

  • Support the Tasting Room Manager with guest hosting, wine tastings, food service, and cellar door sales when required.

  • Help create a warm, welcoming environment that reflects our values and wines.

  • Has great attention to detail and can juggle tasks with calm efficiency

  • Communicates clearly and enjoys working in a collaborative team

  • Is curious about wine, nature, and sustainability

  • Is comfortable with tech tools (or keen to learn) — Vinsight/Xero/Shopify

  • Has a full NZ driver licence and is legally entitled to work in NZ

  • Is happy to pitch in wherever needed and doesn’t mind rolling up their sleeves!
