FAST Introduction

Fast Enterprises is a provider of essential software and services for citizens and government. In 1998, we changed the way government revenue agencies support their business with the introduction of GenTax®. We have expanded beyond Tax and now also perform implementations for Motor Vehicle, Driver License, Unemployment Insurance, and Child Support Engagement agencies. 

Your FAST career has a meaningful and lasting social impact.  

Much of the work at FAST happens on our client sites as part of our product implementations. Individuals who understand the technical aspects of system implementation as well as the business needs of our clients fill these positions. Employees participate in the full project lifecycle, from requirements-gathering through production support. Implementation Consultants should have strong technical and communication skills, enabling them to interact with clients and detail system functionality.  We are looking for qualified candidates to start their career with FAST at our Wellington, New Zealand location.
