Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand New Zealand Government Full time

About us:

Our waterways define so much about life here in Aotearoa.

So, it's vital every stretch - from the pristine South Island sounds to the wild West Coast waves - is well looked after.

We exercise Kaitiakitanga over the maritime domain, supporting Aotearoa oceans and waterways to be safe, secure, clean and sustainable.

Through our organisational strategy Te Korowai o Kaitiakitanga, The Cloak of Stewardship, we're on a multi-year journey to bring together our aroha, work and skills to ensure we can operate more strongly as stewards of the maritime domain.


About the Team:


The International Engagement and Coordination team is responsible for ensuring Maritime New Zealand's international obligations and responsibilities are delivered and represented at international forums.

This involves ensuring New Zealand is appropriately represented and delegates are supported by a coordinated approach on issues of national significance, ensuring amendments to international agreements are appropriately actioned and any reporting back to relevant international organizations completed on-time.


We are also responsible for:

- developing bilateral relationships;
- briefing senior officials and ministers on issues;
- collaborating with central government agencies and communicating New Zealand's strategic objectives for international engagement.

What you'll do:


The Advisor will have the opportunity to work on a wide variety of topics supporting senior members of the team to develop robust advice on international issues as they arise in fora relevant to the maritime sector.

You will provide high quality support in briefing and debriefing delegates to international meetings, providing thorough analysis of any new items as they arise.

As a confident communicator you will develop connections across Maritime NZ and other government agencies to ensure effective engagement with the International Maritime Organisation (IMO) and other relevant international maritime forums.

This is a great opportunity to grow your policy craft in a supportive, tight knit team.

What we're looking for:

  • Experience working within a legislative or regulatory framework;
  • Previous experience in a graduate advisory or analyst role within central government;
  • Good analytical skills including the ability to interpret data and handle complex and technical material;
  • Ability to think strategically and identify themes and issues emerging from a range of competing information;
  • Sound written and oral communication skills;
  • Great attention to detail and strong organisational skills;
  • Adaptability and selfmotivation;
  • Ability to work collaboratively.

Other good stuff:


You'll be part of an excellent team where you will enjoy great employee benefits and will see plenty of scope to learn, upskill and explore your options.

It's satisfying work, and our International Engagement and Coordination team is part of the engine making it all happen, so if you've been wondering what the next step could or should be in your career, we think it's time to 'navigate your next', here with us.

This role is based in Wellington.

Please also note that you must have the legal right to live and work in New Zealand to be considered for this role.
