About the Research and Education Advanced Network New Zealand (REANNZ):

Research and Education Advanced Network New Zealand Limited (REANNZ) operates and supports a specialist high-performance digital network that is engineered to meet the unique performance demands of scientists, researchers, innovators and educators from 45 member organisations from New Zealand's universities, Crown Research Institutes, institutes of technology and polytechnics, and the wider education, research and innovation sector.


REANNZ is used by researchers to access, move and share data-intensive research around the country and across the world, enabling them to collaborate and contribute to world-leading research to benefit New Zealand and the world.

REANNZ engineers also develop and support solutions to address complex technical issues in this specialist environment.

Person specifications:

  • Proven welldeveloped governance experience.
  • Strong understanding of the science and innovation or telecommunications sectors.
  • A good understanding of public accountability.
  • Commercial and/or financial acumen.
  • An understanding of technology.
  • A connection to the governance of CRIs.

Additional skills and experience required:


Directors should have an appreciation of the role of the Crown as an investor and the need to maximise the value to New Zealand from Crown-funded investments, as well as an understanding of the public sector and governance responsibilities of the Crown as a responsible investor under the Companies Act 1993 and the Crown Entities Act 2004.


Directors must be aware of the importance of personal integrity and the need to disclose any interests they have or are likely to have in matters relating to the REANNZ Board, whether or not these create a conflict of interest.

Directors must also be sure that they have the interest and enthusiasm needed to contribute effectively to the performance of the entity throughout their term of directorship.


Board members are appointed as individuals to deliver on their collective responsibilities and not as representatives of particular sectors or interest groups.

Diversity of experience and background of members across the Board is a key consideration.

The Crown Entities Act requires the shareholding Ministers to:

  • Only appoint a person who, in the shareholding Ministers' opinion, has the appropriate knowledge, skills, and experience to ensure the sound management of the Crown entity company and to assist the company to achieve its objectives and perform its functions.
  • In appointing, take into account the desirability of promoting diversity in the membership of Crown entities.


Applicants for a director role should have the necessary skills and experience to enable them to meet the requirements of a director in terms of the Companies Act and other relevant legislation; and have the demonstrated skills to contribute to board level decision-making.

Applicants must have the legal right to work in New Zealand.

More information:

Section 31 of the Crown Entities Act 2004 requires that before a person is appointed as a member of a Crown entity, the person must:

  • Consent in writing to being a member.
  • Certify that they are not disqualified from being a member under section 30(2) of the Act.
  • Disclose to the responsible Minister the nature and extent (including monetary value, if quantifiable, of all interests that the person has at that time, or is likely to have, in matters relating to the entity.
Applications for this role close
midnight, Sunday March 17.
