Help shape the future of Education
At the Ministry of Education, we work together to shape an education system that delivers equitable and excellent outcomes.

Our organisation is made up of more than 3,000 talented and committed people around New Zealand, from a wide range of backgrounds and cultures.

While we work in different groups and on different things, we all strive every day to make the biggest difference we can for every child, young person and adult student in our education system.

About our group and team
Te Puna Kaupaphere | Policy

Our group is responsible for whole-of-system, end-to-end policy integration covering early learning, compulsory schooling, and tertiary including Māori medium, te reo Māori, Pacific and Learning Support.

We hold the relationship with all Ministers and provide integrated policy advice to them, including those responsible for Pacific and Māori education.

We collaborate across government organisations so our advice to Ministers is joined up.
Our group provides policy support for all Te Tāhuhu.

We work to develop strong internal relationships as well as working closely with other central education agencies and other parts of the government.

We use high quality research and evidence of what works and are informed by knowledge held by Te Mahau.

We work with Te Mahau and are informed by Te Puna Ohumahi Mātauranga | Education Workforce for all our implementation plans for policy.

Our group works closely with Te Tuarongo and other groups, including their connections with iwi, hapū, hapori and Māori peak bodies, in the development of policy that honours te Tiriti o Waitangi.

We hold the regulatory stewardship function across regulatory systems of Te Tāhuhu, taking a whole-of-system, life-cycle view of each regulatory subsystem.

This position sits in the Tertiary Sector Performance Analysis team within the Tertiary Group.

This team aims to ensure that tertiary education achievement and system performance is backed by evidence, and that policy and strategy decisions are made using the best possible evidence.

The team is committed to making tertiary data and high level analysis available as soon as possible after it has been received.

This data and more in depth analysis is released on the Ministry's Education Counts website.
About this role

The Senior Data Analyst fully understands the data and data collections that together contribute to the Ministry's understanding of the Tertiary Education information environment.

This involves preparing, maintaining and documenting datasets and output tables relating to the tertiary education system. Including ensuring that this information is in the correct format (privacy is ensured) for sharing and publication.

The Senior Data Analyst is responsible for ensuring all data requests (internal and external) are managed to an agreed standard (including response time, accuracy and fitness of purpose).

The Senior Data Analyst is supported by a Data Analyst and works closely with our Principal Analyst. Other team members are very familiar with the data and available to assist with data queries when needed.
About you
We are looking for a very organised and experienced Senior Analyst.

While your team mates will assist you with the data requests they will also require some assistance from you to meet tight timelines.

Managing team priorities regarding request management and data production will be a key task for you. You will have another Senior Data Analyst to assist you in this.
To be successful in this role, you will be working with key internal and external stakeholders.

In particular assisting other groups (internally) and other agencies (externally) with data supply and help using and understanding the data.


You will also offer:

- advanced Excel and SAS skills
- a strong focus on quality - both of the data and data presentation
- skills allowing you to manipulate large data sets made up of unit level data


You will be part of a team of 12, all busy using multiple and advanced techniques to further explore tertiary education and other data.

They are a generous bunch, very happy to share their knowledge and skills making the team an excellent environment to further develop your existing skills.

Are you ready to make a difference?

While this is a full time, permanent job based in Central Wellington we always try to match the hours of work (start and finish times) to suit the analyst and the team.

Most team members have children which means we work in a family friendly environment.

As a government agency, the Ministry is committed to keeping to the Treaty of Waitangi's guiding principles in our work for and with Māori students, their whānau, hapū and iwi.

Applications close Midnight - 8 June 2023.
