  • Be a connector develop effective relationships across Te Papa's leadership to embed the role of the PMO and to ensure the PMO's contribution to Te Papa's success is optimised
  • Be a champion for PMO practice ensuring the toolkit is fit for purpose and reporting and insights flow up and out across leadership and governance levels

To be successful in this position you will have:

  • Demonstrated people management expertise and experience leading and managing a team
  • Demonstrated ability to work across an organisation, understand the different functions and identify and address organisational interdependencies and interconnectivities
  • Welldeveloped ability to critically analyse complex information and make effective recommendations
  • Solid track record of managing projects and at least 5+ years' experience managing a team of project managers within a project management office structure.
  • Knowledge and understanding of effective programme, project and change management strategies, practices and principles
  • Strong awareness of the principles of Te Tiriti o Waitangi/Treaty of Waitangi and demonstrated ability to embody this commitment in their work
  • Relevant tertiary qualification (e.g. MPM, Prince 2, Portfolio and Programme management qualifications)
  • Highly developed skills in persuading, communicating and agreeing complex and challenging outcomes for the business at a senior leadership level
Experience in a relevant role in the museum, arts or creative sectors would be an advantage.

Applicants must have the ability to obtain and maintain the legal right to work in New Zealand.
