Ko tā mātou mahi - Our Role:

Our Customer Liaison teams are a critical part of the interagency teams who work in conjunction to support the implementation of tenant transfers and relocations.

As Team Leader Customer Liaison, you'll be responsible for ensuring the Kāinga Ora asset programme is delivered in a timely and approachable manager, along with leading a high-quality team working on programmes / projects including redevelopment and improvement programmes, the lease expiry programme, and better utilisation programmes to ensure the right family are in the right house.

As a people leader, you will lead, coach, support and mentor the team to enable them to work with customers and whānau in an effective and empathetic way.

You will also be the first point of contact for escalations, so a demonstrated ability to handle and resolve conflict situations is essential.

As this role may require travel in some instances around the region, you will need to hold a current New Zealand driver's license.
