Wellington, Wellington, New Zealand New Zealand Government Full time
New leadership role to provide support, development and guidance to our business support team

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:


Business Support is the team which drives the building of our organisational capability in the areas of executive and management support, administrative services, the coordination of various functions including governance support and support for managers and teams with their planning, budgeting and reporting.

This includes oversight and implementation of our professional development framework for people working in these roles.

What you'll do:


As the Manager Business Support you'll be responsible for creating and sustaining a strong, professional capability to deliver the business support functions across Maritime NZ.

You'll be actively involved in the recruitment, professional development, and coaching of our business support staff.

You'll have responsibility for the coordination of the Business Support Group (BSG), ensuring that our business support framework and associated functions remain current, and facilitate the connection between the business support staff and the Organisational Strategy and Systems teams, such as Finance and Information Technology.


What we're looking for:

  • Strong business support background in a range of different functions;
  • A passion for developing talent;
  • A high level of confidentiality and discretion;
  • Ability to work well under pressure and to meet tight deadlines;
  • Welldeveloped organisational skills and strong attention to detail;
  • Strong MS Office skills and expertise and familiarity with document management systems;
  • Ability to network and influence at all levels;
  • Political acumen and an understanding of the Public Sector.

Other good stuff:


It's satisfying work, and our Manager Business Support 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.

Applications for this role close Monday 29th May 2023.

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