About the opportunity
We have a rare permanent, part-time or full-time (30 to 37.5 hours per week) in-house legal position available at our Lincoln site.
The bulk of the work will be supporting the research team by reviewing and drafting research contracts, but the role also involves a huge variety of different legal work with no two days the same.
About you
This is a diverse role, requiring you to be adaptable and be able to think on your feet.
We are looking for someone who is a good communicator, a solutions-focused problem solver who can make pragmatic risk-based decisions, and someone who has good technical drafting skills.
Why Manaaki Whenua
Our land, our future - this is the essence of why Manaaki Whenua - Landcare Research exists.
At Manaaki Whenua, we undertake research that focuses on preserving New Zealand's rich biodiversity, improving biosecurity, and protecting the health of the land, fresh water and soil resources we need for a prosperous future.
We recognise the importance of partnerships, the special role of Māori, and we are committed to the principles of te Tiriti o Waitangi, incorporating those principles into our aspirations, strategies and working practices.
Manaaki Whenua works to ensure that all New Zealanders have the knowledge, understanding, and tools to truly live in harmony with our precious environment.
We are recognised nationally and internationally for the quality of our research and work with a wide range of organisations within New Zealand and globally.
As an Equal Opportunity Employer, we do not discriminate against any employee or applicant for employment because of colour, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, or age.
What we offer
As an employee of Manaaki Whenua - Landcare Research, you will work with passionate and talented people in a caring and family friendly, flexible working environment; enjoy good staff benefits and the opportunity for personal growth and career development.
Whilst our main office is based at Lincoln, we do support a flexible working environment, with requests for both informal and formal flexible work arrangements given due consideration.
How to apply
Applicants for this position must have the existing right to live and work in this location to be considered.
Applications formally close on Sunday 2 April at 11pm NZT
