2 weeks ago

Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand New Zealand Government Full time

About us:

Our waterways define so much about life here in Aotearoa.

So, it's vital every stretch - from the pristine South Island sounds to the wild West Coast waves - is well looked after.

We exercise Kaitiakitanga over the maritime domain, supporting Aotearoa oceans and waterways to be safe, secure, clean and sustainable.

Through our organisational strategy Te Korowai o Kaitiakitanga, The Cloak of Stewardship, we're on a multi-year journey to bring together our aroha, work and skills to ensure we can operate more strongly as stewards of the maritime domain.


About the Team:


The Operational Policy Design team is responsible for the development, maintenance and implementation of Maritime NZ positions, operational policies and high-level processes that support other Maritime NZ groups to deliver and implement regulatory frameworks such as maritime and marine protection rules.


We are also responsible for:

- the development and oversight of the operational policy and practice framework;
- the design of operational policy and large practice relating to new rules and regulations plus other significant changes to existing operational policy and practice.

What you'll do:


The Advisor Operational Policy Design will have the opportunity to work on a wide variety of projects from developing and updating operational policy through to participating in projects to implement legislation changes.

You'll provide high-quality evidence based operational policy advice on a range of interesting issues about maritime and marine protection matters.

You'll establish and maintain relationships across Maritime NZ and with industry to ensure our work is well informed and connected.

This is a great opportunity to grow your policy craft in a supportive operational policy team.

What we're looking for:

  • Experience working within a legislative or regulatory framework;
  • Experience in developing effective policy or operational policy;
  • Good analytical skills;
  • Sound written and oral communication skills;
  • Great attention to detail;
  • Adaptability and selfmotivation;
  • Ability to work collaboratively.

Other good stuff:


You'll be part of an excellent team where you will enjoy great employee benefits and will see plenty of scope to learn, upskill and explore your options.

It's satisfying work, and our Operational Policy Design team is part of the engine making it all happen, so if you've been wondering what the next step could or should be in your career, we think it's time to 'navigate your next', here with us.

This role is based in Wellington.

Please also note that you must have the legal right to live and work in New Zealand to be considered for this role.
