Help us build KiwiBudget.
Join Bryder Group and work on KiwiBudget. Remote roles, anywhere in New Zealand, with the pay on every listing.
Roles
Three roles, all remote.
You'd work on KiwiBudget, a Bryder Group company. Each role is part-time at 20 hours a week, reports to Jack Ridder, and is for someone in New Zealand with the right to work here.
- KiwiBudget · Marketing Marketing Coordinator Help New Zealanders hear about KiwiBudget at launch and after: social media, content, community and partners, told calmly and honestly.
- KiwiBudget · Engineering Bug Fix Developer Find, fix and test bugs in the KiwiBudget web and mobile app, from the help desk report to a careful release.
- KiwiBudget · Support Customer Support Specialist Help KiwiBudget customers by email and live chat, kindly and clearly, and turn what you hear into help articles and fixes.
Customer Support Specialist is open for applications until Sunday 15 November 2026. Marketing Coordinator and Bug Fix Developer are currently unavailable. Please check back later.
Why we're building this
A note from Jack.
Kia ora, I'm Jack. I started KiwiBudget because the money apps most of us use were built for other countries. They can't read a New Zealand payslip, and they have no idea why the power bill doubles in July. KiwiBudget does, and it tells you the one number that matters: what you can actually spend until payday.
It launches on 16 November 2026, built and run from Invercargill. If you join, you won't be a small part of a big machine: you'll work with me directly, and what you do will matter from your first week.
I'm looking for people who are careful, kind and honest, because the people who use KiwiBudget are trusting us with something personal. If that sounds like you, I'd love to read your application.
Jack RidderFounder, KiwiBudget
How we work
Plain facts, not a culture page.
-
Remote, in New Zealand.
Work from home, or wherever suits you, anywhere in the country. We keep to New Zealand time so we can talk during the day.
-
Flexible hours.
Each role is 20 hours a week. We agree a regular pattern together that fits the work and the rest of your life.
-
Plain and honest.
No hype, no pressure and no promises we can't keep, in what we build and in what we say. We don't give financial advice.
-
Small and careful.
You'll work directly with the founder. We would rather ship one thing properly than three things in a hurry.
Pay and benefits
What every role comes with.
The pay is on each listing, per hour and before tax. The rest is the same for all three roles.
- KiwiSaver
- If you're a member, we add 3.5% of your gross pay on top, the legal minimum since 1 April 2026.
- Annual leave
- Four weeks' paid leave a year after your first 12 months.
- Sick leave
- 10 days a year once you've been with us six months. Unused days carry over, up to 20.
- Public holidays
- Paid when they fall on a day you'd normally work.
- Other leave
- Bereavement leave and family violence leave, as the law gives. New leave laws are due in 2028, and your leave will follow them.
- Equipment
- Having your own laptop and a reliable internet connection is a plus, but not essential.
How hiring works
Four steps, and a reply either way.
-
Apply online.
Your CV and a few lines about why the role suits you. About ten minutes.
-
We read every one.
Jack reads each application himself, and everyone hears back.
-
A video call.
About 30 minutes, to talk about the role and answer your questions.
-
References and an offer.
We check references, then make an offer in writing.
No. All three roles are remote, so you can live anywhere in New Zealand. You do need to live here and have the right to work here.
Not for these roles. You need to be based in New Zealand and work on New Zealand time.
All three are part-time, 20 hours a week. The hours are flexible within the New Zealand working week, and we agree a regular pattern that suits you and the work.
Jobs. You'd be an employee, part-time at 20 hours a week, with KiwiSaver, paid leave and the other protections of New Zealand employment law.
You'd work on KiwiBudget, a Bryder Group company. KiwiBudget Limited is owned by Bryder Holdings Ltd, which builds and runs its businesses from Invercargill.
No. KiwiBudget doesn't give financial advice, and neither will you. Being clear, careful and kind with people matters more.
A quiet place to work. Having your own laptop and a reliable internet connection is a plus, but not essential.
Yes. The lists describe the job, not a test. If a role suits you and you can tell us why, apply.
Yes, as roles open. Send a separate application for each, and say in each note why that role suits you.
Only the people hiring see it. We keep your application and CV for six months so we can consider you, then delete them, unless you join us. You can ask us to delete them sooner. Our privacy policy has the detail.
Yes. If you need something adjusted, such as captions, more time, or a phone call instead of video, tell us in your application and we'll work it out with you.
