Kōrero mō te tūranga - About the role
An opportunity has arisen to head up the Culture and Capability team at MFAT.
Reporting to the Chief People Officer, the Head of Culture and Capability leads a small team of dedicated practitioners working on initiatives within learning and development, leadership and culture, diversity and inclusion, and related areas.
This is a fixed term role through to the end of June 2025. We would also consider an inter-agency secondment.
2024 will be another busy year for this team, with several exciting priorities that need the guidance and support of an experience Organisational Development (or similar) professional.
In particular, this team is tasked with:
- A programme of work aligned to the 'Workplace Cultures' organisational priority
- Evolving our current Diversity and Inclusion Strategy and Plan into our 'Belonging Strategy'
- Delivering on commitments to closing gender and ethnic pay gaps
- Reviewing and enhancing our approach to Language Training
- Implementing a new employee survey approach
- Completing the implementation of a new Performance & Goals process, aligned to functionality with our recently implemented SAP SuccessFactors HRIS
- Finalising the delivery of our updated Code of Conduct
- Reviewing and updating our Capability framework
In addition to these key priorities, the team also manages a range of important 'business as usual' activities - particularly around learning, development and career coaching.
The full salary range for this role is $167,587 and $197,162 total remuneration, inclusive of our 3% KiwiSaver employer contribution.
You'll be someone who's got a reputation for being a great people leader, as well as having a background that enables you to provide 'thought leadership' to the teams work.
You will have the ability to work with a team to enable them to get things delivered on time and to a high standard, as well as working directly with leadership teams to influence and give effect to the changes we hope to see.
Ideally you will also have a good understanding of tikanga (Māori customs and protocols), with the ability to weave te ao Māori (the Māori worldview) into your work.
If you are just starting on this journey that's OK too - as long as you have a willingness to learn and a desire to develop your cultural capability.
