“I truly value the dynamic work environment at Perpetual Guardian where each day brings something new and exciting, together with ongoing challenges that motivate me to think outside the box. I am grateful for the opportunities I have had to work across multiple areas in the business to broaden my expertise, develop a comprehensive understanding of the organisation from a big picture perspective, and to build a well-rounded skill set. The team I work with is exceptional, fostering a supportive and collaborative atmosphere where we share ideas and celebrate achievements.”

Tammy Foster

“I was drawn to Perpetual Guardian because of the Philanthropic side of the business. That is the stewardship of client funds to the charitable sector in New Zealand. But what I’ve learned in my almost 11 years with the business is that Philanthropy is woven into the DNA of the organisation as well, where staff give back via payroll giving matched by the organisation, the organisation gives back every Christmas amongst other things, and staff invest both professional and individual passion into the stewardship of client funds to the charities who really need it because doing well, alongside of doing good is a work is a work place synergy that is hard to find. Overlaid with the flexible workplace evolution through the 4 Day Week initiative, it’s been incredible to see the organisation move from strength to strength through my various roles (all philanthropically based) during my tenure, now as the Philanthropy Manager for Perpetual Guardian.”

“As a lawyer, it is important that what I do and the company I do it for is aligned with my values. Perpetual has real values that matter. For me, it’s about the people. Doing good things with good people, for the benefit of New Zealanders. Making a difference, every day.”
