Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa Full time

Te Papa stands proud as an iconic national building housing the treasures of the nation and is a vibrant destination for both national and international visitors.

Biculturalism is a founding philosophy and practice of Te Papa designed to explore the contribution of Māori language and culture to the life, culture and activities of the museum in small and large ways.

Te Papa fosters and nurtures cross-cultural capability, the ability of people of different cultural backgrounds to interact with one another in positive and uplifting ways.

The vision for Te Papa is to be a Tiriti based museum, where a collective commitment to Tiriti o Waitangi is fostered and Māori exercise tino rangatiratanga.


Te Papa has recently established an Office of the Co-Leaders with the responsibility of ensuring the museum flourishes under Te Rautaki o Te Papa (Te Papa's Strategy) and the high-quality strategic performance against the organisation's accountabilities.

The Office supports the Co-Leaders, Executive Leadership Team, and the Board in future-focused planning; supports the organisation to improve practice and outcomes through the development of strategy and policy; manages Te Papa's rhythms of planning and reporting; and provides many of the services needed to ensure we meet our obligations as an Autonomous Crown Entity.


We are looking for a self-motivated individual skilled at developing trust and integrity with managers and kaimahi, who can work collaboratively and provide timely advice.

The position is responsible for the coordination and support to business owners in the delivery of Te Papa's Crown entity obligations, particularly organisation performance and risk reporting, and management of Official Information Act requests and Privacy Act compliance.

The Advisor/Senior Advisor will be an advocate for great practice, working with key kaimahi to ensure Te Papa's policy suite is consistent and up-to-date, and acting as the glue between the needs of Te Papa and our outsourced legal providers.

The position holder will provide support to and learn from other members of the Office of the Co-Leaders, as part of a collaborative and transparent team culture, and provide support across the organisation to embed whakaaro māori and te ao māori perspective in our mahi, and lift policy expertise and strengthen compliance.


The Advisor/Senior Advisor will bring with them:

  • Great written and in person communication skills, attention to detail and ability to explain complex topics simply
  • Ability to understand and process new information quickly, sound organisational and time management skills
  • Data and reporting analytical skills, and experience with various reporting tools, at least the Microsoft Office Suite, including PowerBI
  • Ability to exercise tikanga Māori in the workplace, including at least basic te reo Māori skills
  • Awareness of the historical significance of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and how Te Tiriti contributes to the day to day working and practices of an organisation
  • A relevant tertiary qualification or equivalent relevant work experience

In addition, to be successful in the Advisor position, you'll bring:

  • At least 2 years' experience in an advisory or similar position that demonstrates knowledge of the machinery of government, performance, and accountability management framework and/or policy development and compliance processes
  • Experience working with strategy and/or legislation, specifically the Crown Entities Act, Official Information Act and Privacy Act
  • Relationship management skills and the ability to work effectively with both internal and external stakeholders, problem solve and work constructively

Or for those considering the Senior Advisor position, to be successful at this level you'll bring:

  • At least 5 years previous relevant experience and demonstrated knowledge of ministerial and machinery of government processes
  • Strong working knowledge of the Crown Entities Act, Official Information Act and Privacy Act
  • Demonstrated ability to act in an account management capacity including commissioning services, maintaining relationships and time schedules, and managing budgets
  • Strong relationship management skills, demonstrated ability to work effectively with both internal and external stakeholders, problem solve and work constructively
  • Experience developing strategy, policy, and supporting business owners to develop and refresh relevant business plans and policies
  • Understanding and knowledge of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and how this can be implemented in policy and compliance work.
  • Existing ability, in budget management and to act in an account management capacity for the provision of legal services
  • Sound experience in coordinating and maintaining systems

Applications close on Sunday 26 November 2023.
Applicants must have the ability to obtain and maintain the legal right to work in New Zealand.

Prior to Te Papa confirming any offer of employment, pre-employment chec
