Some of the work will be project based, ranging in scope and size.

To be successful in this role, you will have:

  • Relevant tertiary qualification in accounting or finance or equivalent experience
  • The ability to think strategically and innovatively to drive change across the breadth of the organisation
  • Experience with billing, pricing or cost recovery
  • Excellent analytical and reporting skills
  • Excellent relationship management skills, with experience in building credible and effective working relationships with senior leaders, technical specialists, and peers.
  • Excellent listening, written and communication skills, focusing on what the audience needs to know and supporting decision making.
Mō tō mātou Rōpū - About the Team

The Regulatory Oversight and Support Team are a business unit shared service that plans, develops, measures, reports and improves the process and procedures across the system for New Zealand Food Safety and the wider Ministry.

We ensure the activities of the business unit are clearly aligned to the Ministry's strategy and core delivery systems.

Working closely with our colleagues across the Corporate Services, you will be responsible for ensuring adequate and robust support is provided to the New Zealand Food Safety Business Units.

This role will provide the opportunity to practice existing skills and develop new ones as you work with a diverse range of topics.
