The Auditor-General is the statutory auditor of all public organisations, playing a major part in ensuring that New Zealand's public sector remains one of the most trusted in the world.

No other organisation, public or private, has the overview of the whole public sector that the Office of the Auditor-General has.

One of the most varied, interesting, and satisfying roles in the public sector is now available: Assistant Auditor-General, Parliamentary Group.

The Controller and Auditor-General is an independent Officer of Parliament. The Auditor-General's vision is to improve the performance of, and the public's trust in, New Zealand's public sector.

Through managing relationships with Parliament and the Office's other key stakeholders in the Parliamentary and central government sectors, the Parliamentary Group works to achieve this vision.

The Group are focused on making a difference in the public sector and play an influential role working with select committees, chief executives, and governors.

Based in Wellington, the role forms part of the senior leadership team.

You will lead a team of senior staff who oversee the Office's Parliamentary and audit-related work in the central government sector.

You'll bring to the role:

- a deep and broad understanding of the machinery of government, how the public sector operates, and parliamentary process;
- sound judgement, informed by a keen focus on current public sector performance, accountability, and risk matters;
- highly nuanced relationship management skills, with the capacity to work effectively with senior decision-makers within and external to government;
- senior multidisciplinary experience that can be applied to managing and assessing both financial and non-financial organisational performance;
- a broad understanding of accounting and auditing (a CA qualification is desirable but not essential); and
- experience in managing, leading, and developing a team of people from diverse policy, accounting, and auditing backgrounds.


As an organisation, people matter to us, our independence is critical, we act with integrity and courage, and we're here to make a difference.


We offer our staff:

  • Supportive, flexible working.
  • Health and wellbeing benefits.
  • A unique operating environment with Parliament.
  • Learning and development opportunities.
You must be able to gain and maintain a top-secret national security clearance.
